Amber Benson Chat
Tara talks live on Cult


BBC Host: Hello, and welcome to tonight�s live chat with Amber Benson, Tara in Buffy. Amber is here to answer your questions.

Question from Selina Woodcock: Before you got cast as 'Tara' were you already a fan of Buffy?

Amber Benson: Yes. I was friends with Alyson Hannigan already and have always been a big fan of the show.

Question from Stewart Cromar: Do you think you have broken any significant boundaries playing Willow's girlfriend?

Amber Benson: I think that portraying part of a couple that is part of the first lesbian relationship on network television made me realise there are very few role models out there for gay viewers.

Question from Adam Potter: Hi! I was just wondering what is it like to work with the cast of Buffy? What was it like being the new girl in season 4? Thanx Amber

Amber Benson: Luckily, it's a wonderful group of people and they were very encouraging to me when I joined the show. It was really like coming home.

Question from Howell Brwon: Has fame changed you in any way?

Amber Benson: I get less sleep! And I'm not really famous yet... I'm still a big ****!
