Erica Tazel is an American-born, formally trained and versatile theatre and television actor currently starring as the supporting character Rachel Brooks, Deputy U.S. Marshal, in the FX television series, Justified (2010-present) alongside Timothy Olyphant. While Tazel originally anticipated a career in medicine, the Dallas, Texas native turned instead to theatre, completing a B.A. at Spelman College and an M.F.A. at New York University's Graduate Acting Program.

Tazel made her professional acting debut at the New York Shakespeare Festival’s A Winter’s Tale (2000); her further stage credits include at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Cymbeline in the United Kingdom, an off-Broadway appearance in Playwrights Horizons Juvenilia, and regional theatrical projects including appearances at The Old Globe, the Dallas Theatre Center and Arizona Theater Company, and at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, the Laguna Playhouse, and Theater Works.

Tazel was nominated for the L.A. Drama Critics Circle award for Lead Performance, for her work in I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given To Me by a Young Lady from Rwanda, and received the NAACP Theatre Award for Best Lead Female (2007) for that same role. On screen, Erica Tazel has made limited appearances, including in the 18 min. short As It Is (2010), directed by Ka'ramuu Kush, and in a minor role in the David Duchovny drama House of D, starring Anton Yelchin, Robin Williams, Tea Leoni, and Erykah Badu.
