Tamsin Greig is a British actress and comedian.
She is the daughter of Ann (Grahame) and Eric Greig, a colour chemist. Tamsin is married to actor Richard Leaf, with whom she has three children.
Regarding her ancestry, an article on the website Go London wrote:
…the keynote of her characters is their diversity, and she is “an interesting soup” herself, a mixture of English, Scottish, Iberian and Ashkenazi Jewish heritage – her maternal great-grandfather was a rabbi in Poland.
She has also evidently stated: “On my mother’s side I’m Polish-Jewish, and on my father’s side I’m Scottish puffin.”
Tamsin is a practicing Christian.
