Biography

Cathy Diane Tomlin was born and raised in the vibrant city of South Los Angeles, California. Her journey in the world of acting began at the tender age of 14, when she started taking acting classes at the Inner City Cultural Center. She later honed her craft at the Theater of Arts in Hollywood.

Cathy's early acting career was put on hold as she pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Tuskegee University, an esteemed Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in Alabama. Despite her busy schedule, she still managed to find time to participate in a few college theater productions.

After graduating with honors, Cathy relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, to start her engineering career. However, she soon rediscovered her passion for theater and began performing in local productions.

Ultimately, Cathy decided to leave her engineering career behind and move to New York City to pursue acting full-time. Within a few short months, she landed her first acting job as a stand-in on the popular TV show "The Cosby Show," where she stood in for Tempest Bledsoe and Sabrina Le Beauf for the show's final three seasons.

In between Off-Off Broadway productions, Cathy secured co-starring roles on several Daytime Dramas, including "All My Children," "One Life to Live," "Another World," "Loving," and "As The World Turns," which she remained a part of for an impressive 12 years. She also appeared on Prime Time shows such as "Law & Order" and co-starred opposite George Clooney in the film "Michael Clayton."

After many years in New York, Cathy returned to Los Angeles, where she studied Commercial acting with Stuart K. Robinson and Theatrical technique with Will Wallace. She also joined several theater companies, including The Group Rep, The Vagrancy, Theatre 40, and Theatre West. In her free time, Cathy remains active and has been a part of an Adult League Softball Team for over twenty years.

Since returning to LA, Cathy has continued to perform in Theatre, Film, TV - Primetime/Daytime/Cable, New Media, Print, and Voiceover.
