Tasha SmithTasha Smith is a multifaceted actress whose work brings style and intensity to the subjects she plays on the big and small screens. She currently stars in the Tyler Perry television series, “FOR BETTER OR WORSE,” on OWN for which she earned an NAACP Image Award nomination as “Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series.” Smith’s memorable portrayal of ‘Angela,’ in Perry’s box office hits, “WHY DID I GET MARRIED?” and its sequel, “WHY DID I GET MARRIED, TOO?”, alongside Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, sparked the creation of the spin-off series which is focused around her relationship with onscreen husband, ‘Marcus,’ played by Michael Jai White. She will next be seen on the silver screen in Lionsgate’s upcoming feature, “ADDICTED,” with Sharon Leal and Boris Kodjoe. The film, adapted from the popular erotic fiction novel which follows trials and tribulations of a successful sex-addicted African-American businesswoman, is slated for an October 10, 2014 theatrical release. Additionally, Smith was just tapped for Fox’s Lee Daniels hip-hop drama pilot, “EMPIRE,” in a recurring role opposite Taraji P. Henson.
