Tosin Cole was born in New York City, but he moved to London at the age of eight in the wake of his parents' separation. As a teenager, he became involved in acting via Intermission Youth Theatre, which was established to help disadvantaged young people. Cole gained notice for his 2009 performance in Wasted!, a reimagined version of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. He made his television debut in 2010 when he joined the cast of The Cut for its final season, and he was cast in Hollyoaks the following year. Other television during the decade included episodes of Holby City and Lewis. Cole could also be seen in a number of movies, such as Burning Sands with Alfre Woodard, Unlocked starring Noomi Rapace and Orlando Bloom, and as X-Wing pilot Bastian in the blockbuster Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

In 2018, Cole joined Doctor Who as Ryan Sinclair, companion to Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor. As established in his first story, The Woman Who Fell To Earth, Ryan suffered from dyspraxia, which sometimes presented him with an additional challenge during his adventures in the TARDIS. Sinclair remained on Doctor Who for two seasons; he departed in the 2021 New Year's Day special, Revolution Of The Daleks, alongside Bradley Walsh, who played Ryan's grandfather, Graham O'Brien. Cole continued to establish himself in movies, taking roles in The Souvenir and its sequel, the critically-acclaimed Till, and the Nineties remake House Party. On television, he appeared in the first season of the American legal drama 61st Street.
