    Amber Benson is one of the best actresses on Tv, one of My favorite Actresses and Tara was my absolute favorite character on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I was so upset when she was killed off. I haven't seen her in much else though. She was amazing on Supernatural also. which she ironicly played a good vampire on. She can convincingly act shy and weak when she wants and confident and strong when she doesn't, acting skills that she uses all of the time on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which is one of the many many things that I love about her as an actress.

  • A rising star

    Amber Benson is one of those actresses that I wish I saw in more things. She was amazing as Tara on Buffy and she made Willow turning gay worth it. Her character was so sweet and nice and she really evolved in the sixth season into a stronger character. She also has an amazing singing voice as she showed in once more with feeling. Her duet with Giles is really heart breaking and shows off her skills really well. Lately I have been seeing her in some TV movies which normally have pretty weak plots, but she acts so well in them that they end up being pretty good. She brings a sense of comedy to all of her work even the dramatic roles very well and she has a really subtle type of beauty that I really like, I can't wait to see her in more projects.

  • Amber is great!!

    I really like Amber Benson. They just had to go and kill her off of Buffy. Her character on BUffy seemed so nice and i miss her. She definately deserves way more credit. Amber was recently on an episode of Supernatural which she was amazing in. That really showed off her talent. I think Amber deserves a show or something. THat ia a fact.

  • I would love to see Amber Benson on television again.

    Seeing Amber on tv again would only show more people that she can carry a lot of different preformances. Her portrayal and the Wiccan love of Buffy's lifetime sidekick Willow was powerful, to say the least.



    Filling the character perfectly three seasons on the show was certainly not enough and left a hole in the last season of the show which she not featured in.

  • Even today I'm still angry they killed her off on Buffy.

    Amber Benson is a beautiful and talented actress. She needs an award. I loved her as Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She and Willow were great together. I think it was very mean of the people who work on Buffy to put Amber in the credits of the episode where she was killed off. She should have been in the credits way before that, yet she wasn't.



    Amber Benson is very good with music as well. You get to hear her amazing voice in the 'One More With Feeling' episode on Buffy. I think she should have had a bigger part on Buffy but she didn't. Fans can always see her in movies and on other shows.

  • Amber is not so much talented as multi-talented. She acts, sings, writes (both novels and scripts for stage and screen) and directs. Also, she is just showing the start of her abilities, not the epoch of them.

    Amber Benson is quite simply the most talented actress of her generation. Not only is she a highly accomplished actress (and getting better as she hones her craft), she also excels as a writer, director and singer too. In a world full of talentless celebrities who's only claim to fame is being on that reality show or this, Amber is a genuine talent that has the good sense to keep her fame down to a minimum (although as her star shines ever brighter that anonimity will be harder to hide).



    Like most people, it was her role as Tara in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" that I first noticed her in and she spoke volumes in that role, not only to the gay community but also to those that had suffered abuse in the home. The character ecapsulated hope for many of the disenfranchised (which made her senseless killing off in the show's sixth season all the more distasteful).



    Luckily, Amber is not only a fine actress, she is also a wonderful person. Unlike many celebs who see their fans as a necessary evil or an annoying curse, Amber has often consdered her fans to be "friends" and when she does conventions and signings, she makes each person feel as though she travelled all that way just to meet them, rather than the other way around. Warm, friendly and approachable, she appreciates her fans and it shows. Nothing disingenuous about ehr behaviour, she wears her heart on her sleeve and truly inspires you to be a better person just by example.



  • What more could you want- Amber acts, directs, writes and sings. Wow. Now that's what I call talent.

    Amber Benson is beautiful, a wonderfully talented actress and an amazing singer. She's got everything going for her. She's totally a 10 in my books. The first time I saw her was on Bye Bye love and ever since then she has caught my eye. Then seeing her on Buffy the Vampire Slayer- how she took the character of Tara and totally made it her own. She's wonderful in so many ways.

  • a brillant actress she played the part very well. amber will do well in the future very talented in buffy the vampire slayer and in her film she made. i hope to c her more in films and tv series, all the best to the future from a great fan

    Like many of her fans, the first time I saw Amber Benson on screen was in the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' episode 'Hush'. Not only did I instantly want her character, Tara, to get together with Alyson Hannigan's Willow (they had so much chemistry together that, when they touched, soda machines moved and roses flew around), but I also realised that here was something you don't often see on TV - an actress who's understated, but still riveting to watch. She has a kind of quiet power, and that's what makes her so interesting on screen.

    Tara was a sweet, shy character, but, thanks to Ms. Benson, she was no pushover, standing up to her abusive family and showing a sly wit during some of the show's wackier situations.

    Beyond the world of TV, Ms. Benson is currently writing and directing her own films, since unfortunately she's been under-used recently on the small screen.

    I've also been lucky enough to meet Ms. Benson in person. Unlike many in the acting profession, she's down-to earth, is gracious and polite to her fans and takes time to talk to you and learn your name. She is truly a rarity: an actress with a lot of talent and beauty who doesn't take herself or her profession so seriously that she can't enjoy herself on screen or in real life.

  • She rocks!
