Biografie
Her outstanding performances have garnered widespread reactions from audiences and critics alike. Tyler Perry was so impressed with her stellar work that he cast her to star in two of his films, including the #1 box office hit, “Why Did I Get Married?” (Lionsgate), alongside Janet Jackson and Jill Scott. Her accolades are still resonating from her role in Perry’s “Daddy’s Little Girls” (Lionsgate), opposite Gabrielle Union and Idris Elba, portraying Jennifer, the corrupt, vindictive ex-wife of Elba’s character, Monty. On and off the screen she seems to naturally command attention. Smith recently completed work in Russ Parr’s independent comedy, “Something Like a Business,” with David Alan Grier and Kevin Hart.
Smith has played a wide range of roles in such feature films as “ATL” (Warner Brothers) with T.I. and Mykelti Williamson, “The Good Mother” (Sony/Screen Gems) with Angie Harmon and Joel Gretsch, and “The Whole Ten Yards” (Warner Brothers) with Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry. She has also starred in the independent films “Miles From Home” with Meagan Good and Ty Hodges, and “Playa’s Ball,” with Allen Payne and Elise Neal.
Smith is also well-known for her critically-acclaimed portrayal of the drug-addicted Ronnie Boyce in HBO’s Emmy Award-winning miniseries, “The Corner,” directed by Charles S. Dutton. She has guest starred on such popular television shows as “Nip/Tuck,” “America’s Next Top Model,” “Girlfriends,” “Without a Trace,” and “Strong Medicine,” among others. Smith has also served as the executive producer and host of her own talk show for the Oxygen Network, “Tasha Vision,” guest hosted the late night show, “Later With Greg Kinnear,” and recently appeared as a field correspondent on “The Tyra Banks Show.” Smith takes the time to share her inspirational life story through motivational speaking, as well as mentors emerging actors through the Tasha Smith Actors Workshop (TSAW).
A native of Camden, New Jersey, Smith was raised by a single mother and has an identical twin sister and a younger sister. She resides in Los Angeles, California.
