Brooke Smith (born May 22, 1967) is an American actress, known for her role as Dr. Erica Hahn on the ABC medical drama series Grey's Anatomy, and for her role as Catherine Martin in the 1991 horror film The Silence of the Lambs. Smith portrayed Sheriff Jane Greene on the A&E horror series Bates Motel.
She appeared as a guest star on the sixth season of Crossing Jordan as Dr. Kate Switzer, as one of Claire Fisher's art teachers on Six Feet Under, and on Weeds as the ex-wife of Peter Scottson, the late husband of main character Nancy Botwin.[citation needed]
Smith originated the role of Andrea in the pilot of the ABC drama series Dirty Sexy Money, but was replaced by Sheryl Lee after becoming a series regular on Grey's Anatomy.[4] On November 3, 2008, Smith told Entertainment Weekly that her character was being written out of Grey's Anatomy, stating that she was "really, really shocked," and suggested that network executives' discomfort with her character's lesbian relationship might be the reason for her ousting. However, Shonda Rhimes, the show's creator, said that Smith was dismissed from the series because the writers did not find that the "magic and chemistry" that Smith's character had with Sara Ramirez's character, Callie Torres, would sustain in the long run.[5]
Smith has also had roles on Homicide: Life on the Street, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order, Criminal Minds and The Hunger.[6] In 2012, Smith also appeared in an episode of the second season of the FX TV series American Horror Story. In 2015, she appeared as Frances Simpson on the Showtime drama series Ray Donovan.
As of spring 2017, Smith appeared in the recurring role of Sheriff Jane Greene in the fifth and final season of A&E's scripted thriller series Bates Motel, opposite series stars Vera Farmiga—as already-dead Norma Bates—who is a figment of the imagination of her mentally ill and murderous son Norman (Freddie Highmore). Bates Motel is a prequel series homage to director Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 horror classic Psycho, which starred Tony Perkins and Janet Leigh.[7]
In 2019, Smith portrayed Dara, a counselor assigned to a young victim of rape in Episode 7 of Unbelievable. It was released on September 13 on Netflix.[8]
