Tracie Thoms is an American actor and singer born in Baltimore, Maryland, on 19 August 1975. Her career spans musical theatre, film and television.
Thoms studied at Howard University and Juilliard before making her Broadway debut in Drowning Crow. Her stage work also includes Stick Fly and Rent.
She played Joanne Jefferson in the 2005 film adaptation of Rent, then performed the role during the final Broadway run in 2008. The two productions allowed her to revisit the same character in different performance settings.
On television, Thoms joined the crime drama Cold Case as detective Kat Miller. Her film work also includes The Devil Wears Prada and Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof.
From a sung performance in Rent to ensemble drama and action on screen, her work reflects a performer who moves comfortably between the demands of stage and camera.
