What Happened To The Cast Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer? – Looper

Mentioning the name Tara to a "Buffy" fan is sure to provoke some strong emotions. Amber Benson played the shy, warm-hearted witch Tara for three seasons of "Buffy." It's Tara who helps Willow see the truth about her sexuality, and whose abrupt murder in Season 6's "Seeing Red" sends Willow on a world-threatening rampage.

Since leaving "Buffy," Benson's appeared briefly on TV series like "Cold Case," "Private Practice," and as Lenore the so-called "vegetarian" vampire in "Supernatural." She's found mostly supporting work in films like the romantic dramedy "Latter Days," or leading roles in smaller films like the 2018 drama "The Griddle House."

But acting isn't the beginning or the end for Benson. The same year she left "Buffy," Benson wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the indie film "Chance" and did the same four years later with "Lovers, Liars & Lunatics." She's also a writer who has co-written the "Ghosts of Albion" fantasy books and related media, worked on various comic books, and wrote the 2015 fantasy novel "The Witches of Echo Park."
