Rise to Prominence

Tracie enjoyed success throughout the second half of the 2000s, especially with the role of Kat Miller in the TV crime-drama series “Cold Case” (2005-2010). The role celebrated her as an actress, and so helped her secure other roles. Through 2010, Tracie also had roles in Quentin Tarantino’s film “Death Proof” (2007), starring Kurt Russell, Zoe Bell, and Rosario Dawson, then Jay DiPietro’s “Peter & Vandy” in 2009, with Jason Ritter, Jess Weixler, and Jesse L. Martin in the lead roles.

She was now a national star and continued successfully into the new decade with the lead role in the drama film “I Will Follow” (2010), next to Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Omari Hardwick, while in 2012 she had a notable role in the action crime-drama film “Looper”, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, and Emily Blunt, and the next successful project was one of the lead roles in the horror action-drama film “Raze” (2013), in which she teamed again with Zoe Bell.

In recent years, Tracie turned more to television roles, and from 2016 to 2018 she portrayed Susan Cheryl in the TV series “Love” (2016-2018), and FBI Agent Maya Kennedy in the TV series “Gone” (2017-2018).

Quotes

#Quote
1The L.A. theater scene is very different. The perception has been that people who love theater do theater in New York. The people who want to be discovered do theater on the side in L.A. But there are people who are very dedicated to theater who love theater in L.A.
2I think theater will always be my first love. I've been doing it since I was nine, and there's nothing quite like being on stage, having the immediate intake of energy and exchange of ideas.
3People can graduate from beauty school and know everything about white hair and nothing about African-American hair.
4African-Americans are always forced to learn the other culture, but the other culture is not forced to learn ours. I went to acting school at Juilliard, and we learned Shakespeare and Shaw, but we never did the work of a single African-American playwright, not August Wilson or Ntozake Shange or Imir Baraka.
5I'm really looking forward to developing just really fun, complex, interesting stories about people who happen to be black.
6I like shows that are ensemble-based, that explore the humanity of every character.
