LeShay Tomlinson

LeShay Tomlinson is an American actress, best known for her role as Cathy Longs in R. Kelly's hip hopera, Trapped in the Closet. Cathy is noteworthy as the woman whose tryst with Kelly's character sets in motion the many revelations and cliffhangers which provide the hip hopera's dramatic skeleton.

LeShay Tomlinson had filled small roles in a number of motion pictures prior to her work with R. Kelly; including the Princess Monique short "The Call" with Closet co-star Cat Wilson, folk music parody A Mighty Wind and the Brosnan/Hayek crime drama After the Sunset.
