Karla Cheatham Mosley: Difference between revisions

=== Hi-5 (2002-2006) ===

In September 2002, Karla was cast in the children's show ''Hi-5'', the American counterpart to the Australian kids' show Hi-5. Just like with her Australian counterpart, [[Charli Robinson]], her segment is Body Move, in which she encourages kids to move their bodoes. This segment teaches children develop physically through dancing or exercising.

In 2006, Karla, along side Shaun, left the group in order to pursue other interests and she was eventually replaced by Yasmeen Sulieman.

In 2008, she starred with Lenelle Moise in "Expatriate," a gritty off-Broadway show at the Culture Project. Her performance earned rave reviews from the New York Times, Time Out New York, and Variety, which wrote, "Mosley's voice is a serious discovery, with remarkable phrasing and range. In a torchy number called "The Makings," about how Alpine's life has given her the makings of a jazz legend, her pure high notes descend to earthy growls in a flash, and you've got to believe her when she sings, "Anything I wail/hits ears like honey."

In 2008 she also nabbed parts in ''Law & Order'' and ''Gossip Girl'' and appeared in ''Museum Pieces'' at the West End Theater in New York City.  

In 2013, five years after the group split up,  she participated in the cast of "The Bold and the Beautiful" as the ex-con turned actress Maya Avant. She completed a website series titled "Room 8 The Series" with her co-star from "The Bold and the Beautiful," Lawrence Saint-Victor. The web series was part of the B&B storyline. Her character has recently been revealed to be a transgender woman.  

On November 18, 2014, she appeared as a guest model on "The Price Is Right".

She appeared in the 6th episode of ''Battle Creek'' on April 5, 2015, titled "Cereal Killer".

In 2015 Karla's character became the first transgender bride to be married on daytime television when she married Rick Forrester (played by Jacob Young). In 2007, she appeared in the musical production of ''Dreamgirls'' at the TUTS Theater in Houston, TX.
