MARSHA THOMASON (Sara) was first introduced to U.S. audiences as the heroic handmaiden opposite Martin Lawrence in “Black Knight,” in which she was able to exercise her native British and honed American accents. She will next portray the female lead in the January 9th Miramax comedy “My Baby’s Mama” with Eddie Griffin. Thomason currently stars with James Caan in NBC’s top-rated drama series “Las Vegas” as a sexy and ruthless pit boss known as the “Ice Queen.”
She began acting at age 12 when she joined the Oldham Theatre Workshop. What began as a hobby soon evolved into a successful procession of British television series, including the BBC’s “Burn It,” “Brazen Hussies” with Julie Walters, “Pie in the Sky,” and “Playing the Field,” in which she starred as Shazza in the drama about a female soccer team. Thomason also starred in ITV’s popular series “Where the Heart Is” as well as the network’s “Prime Suspect 5” alongside Helen Mirren.
Her stint in Channel 4’s “Love in the 21st Century” from Red Productions (“Queer as Folk”) was followed by her April 2000 professional stage debut at London’s renowned Royal Court Theatre as the lead in “Breath Boom.”
Additional film credits include the independent feature “Pure” opposite Keira Knightley for director Gilles MacKinnon (“Hideous Kinky”), as well as Working Title’s “Long Time Dead” with Lukas Haas, for which she received a Best Female Performance Award by Black Filmmakers Magazine.
Thomason resides in London and Los Angeles in order to keep pace with her burgeoning career.
