Early life
Wendy Raquel Robinson was born on July 25, 1967, in Los Angeles, California.[1] She is of African-American and Native American descent.[1] Raised in Los Angeles, Robinson attended public schools including La Salle Avenue Elementary, Hughes Junior High, Byrd Junior High, Horace Mann Junior High, and Hollywood High. She faced disciplinary issues at Hollywood High, leading to her expulsion for marijuana use and subsequent transfer.[12] She graduated from George Washington Preparatory High School in South Los Angeles.[6] She began dancing at the age of seven and participated in backyard performances and small productions, which ignited her early interest in the performing arts.[6] These formative experiences in South Central Los Angeles laid the groundwork for her passion for acting, leading her to pursue formal training at Howard University.[6]Education
Robinson attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she majored in drama within the College of Fine Arts. She graduated cum laude in 1989 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in drama.[13][6] During her time at Howard, Robinson immersed herself in the university's rigorous theater program, which featured intensive daily rehearsals from morning to evening. The drama department's small cohort provided focused training that honed her acting abilities. She starred as Agnes in a student production of Agnes of God, a role that significantly contributed to her maturation as a performer. Her classmates included future stars Taraji P. Henson and Anthony Anderson, fostering an environment rich in collaborative stage experience.[6][14] Robinson's education at Howard laid the foundation for her career in professional theater and television.[15]Career
Early career
After graduating from Howard University in 1989 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama, Robinson returned to Los Angeles, her hometown, to pursue acting full-time.[16] Her classical training at Howard provided a strong foundation in acting, directing, and choreography, which she applied to build experience in the competitive Hollywood scene.[10] Robinson initially focused on theater to develop her skills and resume, appearing in local productions such as The Colored Museum at the Los Angeles Inner City Cultural Center in 1992, where she performed alongside a cast delivering exaggerated, satirical sketches on Black American experiences.[17] These stage roles helped her hone her comedic timing and dramatic range amid the limited opportunities available for Black actresses in the early 1990s. Her television breakthrough came in 1993 with her on-screen debut as a guest star in the Martin episode "Really, Gina? Is Not My Lover?," playing Vanessa Tucker.[18] That same year, she secured small parts in episodes of The Sinbad Show as Yvette and Thea as Patrice Washington, marking her entry into sitcom guest spots.[1] These minor roles, though brief, demonstrated her versatility and persistence as she navigated the challenges of breaking into an industry often typecasting performers of color.[19] To support herself during this period, Robinson took on various jobs while auditioning relentlessly, embodying the determination required for aspiring actors in Hollywood.[20]Breakthrough roles
Robinson's breakthrough came with her casting as the no-nonsense high school principal Regina "Piggy" Grier in the WB sitcom The Steve Harvey Show, which premiered in 1996 and ran until 2002.[21] In this role, she portrayed a tough yet caring administrator navigating the chaos of an inner-city Chicago high school alongside former musician Steve Hightower, played by Steve Harvey.[22] Over the course of 122 episodes across six seasons, Robinson demonstrated her versatility, blending sharp comedic timing with moments of emotional depth to highlight the challenges and triumphs of educators in underserved communities.[23] The series provided a platform for her to evolve the character from a stern authority figure into a multifaceted mentor, contributing to its enduring appeal as a family-oriented comedy.[21] The Steve Harvey Show achieved significant success as a staple of The WB's lineup, earning praise for its authentic and positive depiction of Black educators and their impact on students.[24] The show's run solidified its status as a cultural touchstone, emphasizing themes of resilience and community in Black-led narratives.[25] Robinson's portrayal garnered critical recognition, including three NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series in 1999, 2000, and 2001.[9] This prominent role also facilitated key industry connections, paving the way for guest spots like her appearance on The Parkers in 1999.[1]Film work
Robinson made her feature film debut in a supporting comic role as Leslie Davis, Miss California, in the Sandra Bullock-led comedy Miss Congeniality (2000), where she portrayed a pageant contestant amid an FBI undercover operation.[26] Her performance contributed to the film's lighthearted ensemble dynamic, showcasing her timing in humorous ensemble scenes. In 2001, Robinson took on the role of Karen, the witty best friend to the protagonist, in the romantic comedy Two Can Play That Game, which centered on relationship dynamics within Black communities and emphasized themes of empowerment and fidelity. Directed by Mark Brown, the film highlighted her ability to deliver sharp, supportive dialogue that complemented the lead's narrative arc. She later appeared as Jeanie Ellis, the love interest and principal's assistant to Martin Lawrence's basketball coach character, in the family sports comedy Rebound (2005), blending romantic and comedic elements in a story of redemption through youth coaching. This role allowed her to explore a more grounded, nurturing persona while maintaining her established comedic flair.[27] Robinson's subsequent film work included supporting parts in romantic dramas like Something New (2006), where she played Joyce, the sister to the lead character, navigating interracial relationships and family expectations. In Contradictions of the Heart (2009), she portrayed Kim, a figure entangled in themes of race, friendship, and intimacy following a late-night encounter.[28] These roles often positioned her as a confidante or strong ally, reflecting a pattern in her cinema appearances. Throughout her film career, Robinson has frequently been cast in portrayals of sassy, resilient Black women, a typecasting she has addressed in discussions on the constraints faced by Black actresses in Hollywood, noting the pressure to conform to specific stereotypes while seeking diverse opportunities.[29] In a 2020 conversation, she emphasized the joys and challenges of embodying multifaceted Black female characters in an industry with limited roles beyond archetypal figures.[30] This comedic sensibility, initially honed through television, translated effectively to her big-screen supporting turns, enhancing ensemble casts without overshadowing leads.Later television roles
Following the success of her role on The Steve Harvey Show, Robinson transitioned into more prominent television work with her portrayal of Tasha Mack, a no-nonsense sports agent and single mother, on the BET sitcom The Game from 2006 to 2015.[31] As a series regular across nine seasons totaling 147 episodes, her character became a fan favorite for its blend of humor, toughness, and emotional depth, contributing to the show's status as one of BET's longest-running scripted series.[32] Robinson also took on dramatic guest roles during this period, showcasing her versatility beyond comedy. In 2010, she appeared as Officer Gina Thompson in the Grey's Anatomy episode "Sympathy for the Parents," delivering a tense performance in a storyline involving family conflict and medical crisis.[33] She guest-starred as Angela, a sharp-witted associate, in the 2012 Scandal episode "Grant: For Your Consideration," adding intensity to the political thriller's ensemble. In the 2020s, Robinson reprised Tasha Mack in the The Game revival on Paramount+ from 2021 to 2022, appearing in all 20 episodes of the two-season run and exploring the character's evolution in the streaming era.[32] She continued with recurring roles in edgier dramas, including Riley Dalton, a resilient widow navigating community challenges, on Showtime's The Chi in its 2025 seventh season.[34] That same year, Robinson joined the CBS sitcom Poppa's House in a recurring capacity as Catherine Fulton, the ex-wife of the lead character, appearing in five episodes and drawing on her comedic roots while adapting to modern family dynamics, as discussed in interviews about the shift to shorter streaming formats.[35]Personal life and philanthropy
Marriage and family
Wendy Raquel Robinson married Marco Perkins in 2003 after the couple began dating in the early 2000s. The wedding was a private affair, and the pair generally maintained a low public profile throughout their relationship.[36][37] Robinson and Perkins had no children together.[36][38] The couple faced challenges beginning in 2015, when Perkins suffered a stroke and claimed Robinson left him shortly after; this led to their separation and Perkins filing for divorce in August 2018 after 15 years of marriage. Robinson filed for divorce in September 2020, and the divorce was finalized on May 18, 2022.[39][38][37][40] Robinson resides in the Los Angeles area.[41]Philanthropy
Robinson's philanthropic efforts center on empowering youth through arts education and supporting organizations that promote cultural and community development. In 1997, she co-founded the Amazing Grace Conservatory (AGC), a nonprofit performing arts school in South Central Los Angeles dedicated to providing accessible training in acting, voice, dance, media arts, and spoken word to children and young adults aged 5 to 18 from underserved communities.[8] The organization, initially launched as All God's Children, serves as a safe haven for inner-city youth, fostering professional skills and self-confidence while addressing barriers to arts access in low-income areas.[6] As artistic director, Robinson has mentored hundreds of students, many of whom have pursued careers in entertainment, and she continues to oversee programs that emphasize creative expression as a tool for personal growth.[42] As of 2025, Robinson continues to serve as executive artistic director of the Amazing Grace Conservatory, overseeing programs for underserved youth.[8] She has hosted NAACP Theatre Awards events, using her platform to highlight emerging Black talent and promote equity in the performing arts.[43] A Howard University alumna with a BFA in drama, Robinson has donated to scholarships for drama students at her alma mater and delivered keynote addresses at alumni events, including a 2020 gathering where she shared insights on career paths in the arts.[44]Filmography
