Though it should be stressed her nude sexual encounter is strictly professional.
The steamy scene features in Brit star Thandie’s gritty new TV drama Rogue – a 10-part series that launched in the US last week.
She plays an undercover detective, called Grace, who’s determined to uncover the cause of her son’s mysterious death.
However, during her investigation she becomes embroiled in a forbidden relationship with criminal Jimmy Laszlo, played by Marton Csokas despite being married to Kavan Smith's character Tom.
The actor certainly seems to be getting to grips with his role – and with Thandie.
The images see Kavan hungrily clutching and wrapping his mouth around the actress’s bare flesh during their raunchy romp.
Thandie – who also strips nude for a shower scene – admits the show was a big challenge because she’s barely off-camera for the duration.
She said: “I do think it’s my best work, definitely.
“Partly because 10 hours is a long time, you know, and it’s also a long shooting period and that’s a lot of character to portray and, as a result, yeah, I reached into places that I wouldn’t normally go.
