Tracie Thoms Movies
African-American supporting actress
Tracie Thoms first arrived on the Hollywood scene in the early 2000s, and worked steadily thereafter, landing a covetous string of roles in many of Hollywood's most hotly anticipated films. She played Andrea in the riotous Tribeca-produced frat-boy comedy
Porn 'n Chicken (2002), then tackled the role of Mahandra, the acerbic best friend of the even more acerbic Jaye Tyler (
Caroline Dhavernas), on the short-lived cult fantasy series
Wonderfalls (2004). In 2005 and 2006, respectively,
Thoms tackled sizeable roles in the
Chris Columbus-directed musical
Rent and the
David Frankel-helmed box-office smash
The Devil Wears Prada. Additionally, in 2006,
Thoms got promoted from a previously recurring role to a regular character -- Kat Miller -- on the hit detective series
Cold Case. She then geared up for
Death Proof,
Quentin Tarantino's half of the
Grindhouse double-bill, as the garrulous Kim, one of three no-nonsense female vigilantes who take on
Kurt Russell's psychopath Stuntman Mike. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
