  • This girl has no anger bone in her body, and her acting sucks

  • The only thing I felt missing in her preformance was her expression! Her expression barely changed the entire time and she's suppose to be angry! How do people get when they are angry?! THEY GET UGLY! I get ugly. everyone does. And this girl, her movements, her voice was great, but the facial expression just didn't work for me. Still, she is a great actress, but she can't do anger well. Or fierceness. . or explosiveness. . . lol.

  • She looks to innocen for this role.

  • i like her over the other tara. i met the actress that plays tara now and she was a little rude and fake. now that ive seen her in real life, i dont really care for her as an actress. the character she plays as tara is alot like how she really is. sorta inconsiderate of other peoples feelings.

  • I can see why they recast Tara. This actress has a horrible accent and the personality of a floor mop. She is not believable in the role at all.

  • Ohh hell no!!! Thank you lawd they switched! There is only one Tara and this chick right here ain't It!!!

  • ehhh, she's okay. but she just plays tara as cold and snooty, instead of the hothead we all came to know and love.

    brook is not a bad actress but seems kind of stiff and unnatural compared to rutina. rutina brought so much more to the role: warmth, humor, realness, vulnerability, and intelligence. i can DEFINITELY see why she was chosen.

  • @theenigma0808 i do agree with you that brook portrayed tara in a different manner than rutina does, which does make the character more interesting to watch. But we can not say for sure if brook wouldn't have made that character better in a different way.

  • she is kind of hotter but she is missing the sparkle that tara needs...

  • She doesn't have the right attitude to play Tara.

  • I am so please that they change the girl. I love the Tara.

  • glad they changed to rutina

  • thank God they changed the actress

  • Yup this part is definitely not for her. Rutina Wesley got it spot on!

  • She didn't really pull it off. The other Tara was WAAAYYYY better.

    She was shmackting. Not acting

  • I think Rutina is prettier

  • @wings3diva yeah, Rutina is definitely prettier.

    This person looks like some kind of weasel.....

  • shes too pretty to play tara. the actual tara is more scary

  • glad she wasnt tara!

  • Shes not a bad actress, but Rutina is much more powerful. I'm really glad they replaced her

  • her prettiness distracts me, it just doesn't make sense for some reason.

  • shut up ugly lady

  • lol I loved it ... just as I love Rutina

  • Yeah she was the girl from Passions she was good but yeah Rutina was GREAT SHE OWNS TARA!

  • I loved her when she told off that

    Bitchy white chick, I mean really

    she deserved WAY TA GO !

    XD I LOVED THIS SCENE TARA IS AWSOME "

    THE BOMB

  • I like her. She has a slyness about her and she's waaaay prettier, but the other Tara is good too. She's funny as hell with all that anger.

  • I think the real Tara is much cooler. And prettier.

  • @KusinerneAF yeah rutina is actually pretty, this person brook isn't attractive and can't act.

  • she seems too nice i prefer the other real Tara

  • I don`t know why are you saying this actress has no gift for acting, she is a good actress, but this part is just not right for her.

  • Funny how, even though it's the same lines she's saying, just by placing another actor the character can change so much.

  • i prefer this girl.

  • get ready for a surprise anyone????

  • She was good, that was funny.

  • Looks like she didn't let her soul glow.

  • @lightmare200 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!@!­~!

  • rutina wesley is better

  • shes not that bad.. her timing is just really off

  • The Tara we have now, is not stupid, she still smart and sarcastic but she just has a lot whole of attutide, which the character needed.

  • FAILLL !!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • she's not horrible but I bet when they saw rutina they were like SOLD!

  • She looks way too sweet haha.

  • I'm just not buying it with this tara the other one (what is the actresses name?) she's just way more believable this one is way calmer and she's not putting rage into it like don't fuck with me or I'll cut off your genitals I'm glad the other actress got this part instead of her.

  • She's alot prettier and has a better body than the other Tara (dont know theactress's name). She doesn't give off that big of an attitude though becuase she looks too sweet lol

  • @SourLemonEater The other Tara has really hot arms.

  • @SourLemonEater Brooke Kerr is a name

  • nah they need rutina this girl too sweet!

  • she still sounds like shes in a soap opera...

  • Thats whitney from passions

  • Valley girl pretending to be tough. Of course it didn't work.

  • i thought she was pretty good. but of course, i do prefer the tara we know and love

  • i thought she was pretty good. but of course, i do prefer the tara we know and love

  • I liked her snide delivery of the line "I am not serious" better than Rutina Wesley's incredulous delivery, but everything else is far inferior. She's still good though.

  • They both did it. Used to Rutina, but they both worked.

  • hmm. i like the other tara better. this one ain't got the no-nonsense factor that FOREVER TARA's got.

  • but she is good :)

  • she doesnt have that spark........ lol

  • rutina is the shit! this girl just doesnt have anger like tara! but it was good!

  • I like her 'n all but she's just not Tara!

  • I like both =)

    I enjoyed this scene wih both

  • Rutina just has so much more LIFE and SPICE!!!! But, god bless this girl for trying anyway... my impression of tara isnt much better haha, thumbs up peeps

  • Stop evaluating the actress based on your knowledge and acceptance of Rutina Wesley as the 'Tara' character. She is equally talented, and likely to have 'grown' on the audience (as characters often do), just as the current actress did. Funny to hear some say, "she's not the right fit", or "she sucks", as if you would've know any better if she had continued with the character.

  • she sucks

  • As much as I dislike Tara, I'm glad Rutina Wesley was chosen instead of this chick. She has the right toughness. This one just isn't Tara. Her aggressiveness seems false.

  • Yikes! It just wasn't the right fit for this actress...she's not awful. I agree with the another comment below - she's just too soft for such an abrasive scene. I wasn't a fan of the writing in most of Tara's first few episodes - it was nice to later see a more "natural" side...bless Rutina for what she managed to make of the little she was given in this first few eps. lol

  • no, she's actually a good actress...only not for that role. i bet she'd be better in police officer or even a social agent... ! ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • Grub

  • I hate Tara but I'm glad it wasn't this girl.

  • I prefer Rutina Wesley !

  • Ha ha she was on some soap opera called Passions. She's not the worst actress but I don't think she is "seasoned" enough in this role. It comes of naturally for Rutina where this girl simply looks like she is acting...seems forced at times.

  • @babysisv LOL Yeah, Whitney! I used to watch that show all the time. It was so funny.

  • i think shes actually good but she would suit a role for a softer character.

  • Ok, her slap was way better and funnier, but otherwise the character is better portrayed by Rutina.

  • She's not an inferior Tara, she just did her differently. Rather than the angry Tara we know, this was more of a sarcastic and smart Tara.

  • I see why this Tara was dropped.  She sucks.

  • she lacks the blackness factor. her skin may be dark, but she is as white as jessica simpson.

  • @lucasboden stupid ass comment from a stupid ass person.

  • @told85 - Awww, someone needs anger management. Or a dick in mouth.

  • @lucasboden no anger, just honesty.This lady resembles a weasel.

  • she just didn't sell the anger

  • Yeah, she is definitely lacking *something*

  • She's too nonchalant and city girlish 

  • I'm SO glad they chose the other Tara!

  • The way Rutina Wesely said Waylon was so much better.

  • Not a good performance by Brook Kerr. I'm so glad she walked away from the role.

  • WOW if possible she's even MORE annoying than the real Tara. SUch a little snot, I was hoping the fat lady was a vamp and ripped her head off at the end ;)

  • She doesn't have the oomph factor.

  • It's quite rude and heartless to dump all over this actress. She is not that bad at all. She simply is not right for the part. This happens a lot. Someone is miscast and replaced. it is not a reflection of their talents or their personality. It's just business. It certainly does not mean that she should give up her acting career as one commenter said. This actress is also too pretty to play Tara, and I think that was also taken into consideration.

  • @IsabellaSleeps Rutina is a LOT more attractive than this girl. She's just very bland and basic compared to Rutina in my opinion

  • @IsabellaSleeps No. Horrible "actress" if that what you'd like to call her, or "miscast" or whatever....She SUCKED. Period. This woman needs to move on to Porn films where less "acting" is required or start flipping burgers. Nice try, but NO. Epic FAIL. Next?...

  • @IsabellaSleeps Dont you think she luks like whitney in the soap opera titled "passions:"

  • @bxxpopxx She is Whitney from Passions.

  • @IsabellaSleeps i absolutley 100% agree with u, but at the same time, i think that rutina actually did the part better than this girl, pulling out the attitude in a more spontaneous way. this girl at first had like a reaaaaally sweet face and attitude, and the switch was not that natural. which does not mean that this girl is a bad actress at all.... anyway... just pointing out. i liked ur comment ;)

  • @IsabellaSleeps sory but she is good but not this good:

    watch?v=2RVQd3cQym4&feature=re­lated

  • oh wow...she was awful...o_O

  • Fortunately, she did not get the role

  • Man I'm glad she didn't get the part

  • Now this is the Tara that would have been killed ages ago if Rutina didn't take over lol.

  • Wow, I would have hated her as Tara.

  • Her accent just isn't southern enough and she doesn't have the tone for that matter. GIVE US RUTINA <3

  • I am constantly annoyed with Tara's character, and mostly I have always blamed that on Rutina as an actress, but after seeing this girl do the same scene that Rutina did so well, I take it back. This girl hit the mark where Rutina nailed it.

  • If this Tara had been shot last night...bye :-p

  • @sterlingman LMAO. MY thoughts exactly!

  • So NOT Tara..

  • Dead either way

  • the first time i saw true blood i saw this episode with this actress, and then in the other épisode i saw the real tara .. i was completly lost !

  • I like her and Y'all wouldn't be so negative if she still played tara. but yes Rutina Wesley has more of a I'll- kick- your -ass- before- you- even -open- your -mouth-kind of attitude This one is too cute/sweet/gentle

  • She doesn't pick up her cues and she is painfully unfunny.

  • @DorianQ Yeah she doesn't have the comedic timing/humor that Rutina has.

  • She doesn't deliver she makes tara's part boring!!!!

  • wow... she is gorgious but she sucks! lol

  • hah, it's Whitney from Passions!

  • @suchasillygirl1 it is her wow she didnt get that part lol

  • fail?

  • So did this episode air?

  • nahhh real tara did way better. this bitch is plain n borring

  • if she still played Tara i doubt half of ya'll would be saying she's a horrible actress. there's no need to bash her, Rutina is awesome, but if Brook still played her, i highly doubt you would do all this trash talking

  • AND CUT!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND IN THE STUNT VIEWER..BECAUSE THIS IS WAY TOO PAINFUL FOR ME TO WATCH!!

  • How much must it suck to be such a crappy actress that you lose your spot on a soon to be hit TV and forever get shamed and compared to your replacement on account of this failure clip online.

    All that work through acting school and auditioning for nothing. Might as well find a new career at that point :)

  • She looks incredibly awkward in the role. Instead of making Tara fierce and angry, she just made her come across as bitchy and nasty. I think Rutina understands Tara a lot better. She's not a nasty person, she's just angry and loud, and probably also very scared and hurt.

  • this feels like years ago xD

  • Rutina all the way!!!

  • Rutina is just sooo much more caustic. Gotta love her!!! :D

  • This is terrible! Thank God for Rutina!

  • WOW, I can really appreciate Rutina more after seeing this!

  • Rutina's acting skills shits on this girls' one!!!!!!

  • This girl sucks. Rutina is better but still terrible. They should have kept looking. Anything that would have spared us all watching her chin tremble for the entirety of season 3.

  • @amw1978dc I agree 100%!. The only thing is that this actress fits the description of Tara according to the books better. They all have terrible Louisiana accents. Especially Rutina!! Only half-decent accents on the show are Pam and Bill.

  • @mulusonic I'll give you Pam... Bill's accent is horrible... The interesting thing is... That's Rutina's actual accent... 

  • @angellina0220 well actually that's not Rutina's accent she is from the city and went to juliard performance school, actually she may be the most well spoken person of the cast.

  • @JaneaOMG My apologies... I thought it was... She did a PSA and she didn't sound like she was from the city at all... but I guess she was in character. I did know she went to Juliard (with Lafayette) so they are probably the most well spoken cast members (not to throw shade at anyone else on the cast.)

  • this makes me laugh. cause its just , pretty girl really but I don't see tara.

  • She wasn't terrible. The voice and tone was on point. Maybe the facial expressions could have been more...expression-y, that's all. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.

    And, yes. I do prefer Rutina. Great actress, beautiful, and with a winning real-life personality.

  • this is all funny. her bad acting comes from her being a soap star way back in the 90s

  • @kemba16 and a dumb soap at that called passions

  • I hate this actress. She's not fierce... She's acting all SASSY. Also, her acting sucks and accent sucks.

  • thats jamie foxx as a woman

  • @hopplacowboy O.O i knew she looked like someone.

  • I wish she was Tara in the show. The one we have now irritates the hell outta me.

  • trying WAY too hard

  • Oh man. the tara we have now is soooooo much better lol

  • This actress is lacking, spunk. The actress they settled for was so much better

  • she makes it seem like one of those really cheesy shows wer they dont know how to act lol!!!!!!

  • rutina is much better, glad that they chose the right person to be tara.

  • i like the other one she sells tara better

  • Tara is SO annoying. =/

  • I can see her as tara. We've just become accustomed to Rutina Wesley (who does a great job btw) as tara. But @ first glance the girl in this scene seems too super model-like to play Tara, but when she started acting she pulled it off very well. Still prefer Rutina Wesley as my Tara, shes more real looking and believable.

  • nope,didn't work

  • Did this air on HBO??? I don't remember this one. Anyhoo, she seems like she is trying too hard.

  • Whitney? From Passions? No...that's not her at all.

  • she just doesn't have that...spark!!

  • In this version you can tell that they are acting...with Rutina, you actually believed that she wanted to slap a bitch..her timing and energy was perfect.

  • bad

  • she was throwed off during the whole skit

  • Lame...

  • Rutina's is much better. I love the way she goes over the top with it. Plus the way Rutina does it, it's like, "Hell ya!" That's the way to tell your boss and a pissy customer off. It's secretly what everyone wishes they could do.

  • rutinas way better of an actress

  • shes way prettier then tara lol

  • This girl is way way cuter than the actress who plays Tara.

  • @Vaeviktis Yeah, less talented than Rutina, too.

  • @Budaphly Hmmm. I can't say if that is the case, since I haven't seen either of them in anything else.

    But it sure can't be argued that Rutina plays the role tons better and really shines in her version of this scene.

  • this girl seems too blah to be tara and her outbursts dont seem to have the depth that rutinas do it seems like this girl is just rude cause shes bored

  • She just comes off as crazy, when clearly Tara was meant to be an overly aggressive, irritating bore.

  • thank god they didnt chose her rutina killed these scene 

  • rutina does bring the character to life, but this one looks muuuuuuuch better.

  • Rutina is not beautiful, she sucks, i don't like her .. this first Tara is sooo beautiful, it's sad they didn't cast her, a real eye candy !!!!!!!!!!!! and her acting isn't bad at all! it just differs from rutinas overdone bitchiness :) first Tara was way cooler and at once kind hearted and mature - sure i'm not the only one who thinks same way

  • @LuiSoipi Oh so because she isn't the generic light-skinned african american chick, she's not beautiful? This first chick isn't all that great looking either (definitely no Halle Berry) and her acting sucks, which is why they replaced her. You sound extremely ignorant and shallow. Your mindset is one of the reasons that people who are absolutely useless to society (ie: Kim Kardashian) manage to stay famous.

  • @nightmistress85 He never said anything about light skin being better looking than dark skin or whatever the fuck you're trying to say. Read his comment again, properly - he said nothing of the sort. And he's right - this actress IS better looking than Rutina Wesley (who is far from ugly herself) and the colour of her skin has fuck-all to do with it.

    Stop playing the race card so pointlessly; you're clearly just trying to stir shit up and it makes you look like an unpleasant moron.

  • @enigma19833 Oh please, I'm actually even lighter than this actress. I'm just pointing out the obvious difference. He clearly said "Rutina is not beautiful. She sucks." That post to me makes it very obvious that this chick's looks make her a more passable "actress". How can I play the race card when they're the same race? You mean a caste system. If you're ignorant enough to think that doesn't go on in Hollywood (hell, try Bollywood where it's much worse) then you need to be enlightened.

  • @enigma19833 she isn't better looking than Rutina. Rutina is much hotter than this person.

  • RUTINA DOES BRING THE CHARACTER TO LIFE. LOVE RUTINA IN TRUE BLOOD.

  • Thank God they didn't cast her for the show.

  • that bitch can't be fierce to save her life (or her career)

  • I remember this episode and this young lady was not in it. There has only been one Tara since TB began!

  • Why was brook Kerr replaced.. I don't watch the show.

  • She was not a good actress but much hotter than the Tara on now and I bet she would get naked unlike current Tara.

  • this is embarrassing

  • She does an alright job, but Rutina Wesley plays angry so well.
