 When casting the role of Tara, Joss Whedon was originally looking for someone like ‘old Willow’ - before Willow became as confident as she is now. Visually he wanted someone who was small and thin. Amber Benson read for the role and it was Marti Noxon who saw her vulnerability beyond her body shape and convinced Joss to get Amber back to read again. |

From the first time Amber Benson showed up, I was also very happy everytime I saw her in an episode. She was awesome on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I wish we can see her on another television show in the future.

yeah i can’t imagine anyone else playing Tara, plus she had such an amazing voice in OMWF I doubt if anyone else could have topped her performance!
