Cathy Diane Tomlin

Cathy Diane Tomlin was born and raised in South Los Angeles, CA. She began taking acting classes at the age of 14, first at Inner City Cultural Center, then at Theater of Arts in Hollywood. Cathy's fledgling acting career was put on hold when she attended Tuskegee University, an HBCU in Alabama, to study Mechanical Engineering. While there, she managed to find time to perform in a handful of college theater productions. After graduating with honors, she moved to Greenville, SC to start her engineering career. However, she was sidetracked by rediscovering theater and performing in local productions. Ultimately, Cathy decided to move to New York City (abandoning engineering altogether) to pursue acting full-time. Within a few months, she booked her first acting job as a stand-in on the Cosby Show --- standing in for Tempest Bledsoe and Sabrina Le Beauf --- for the last three seasons of the show. She was cast from a massive open call that saw upwards of 2,000 actors. In between Off-Off
