When Aisha Hinds' junior high school tap dance instructor observed that
she needed an outlet for expression that surpassed her tap shoes, she
was guided to the High School of Performing Arts in New York - where
her formal acting training began.
Hinds' numerous television credits include a supporting role on
Detroit 1-8-7 (2010), recurring roles on Hawthorne (2009) and The Shield: Gesetz der Gewalt (2002) and

opposite Marcia Gay Harden in the pilot Hate (2005). Her feature film
roles include Das Ende - Assault on Precinct 13 (2005), Neo Ned (2005), and Love Aquarium (2004).
