 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 ****! |
