Toni Collette Interview with Avi the TV Geek

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Actress Toni Collette, known for her movie roles in The Sixth Sense and Little Miss Sunshine, stars in the new Showtime comedy United States of Tara. With Steven Speilberg as executive producer, Collette stars as Tara, a suburban wife and mother struggling with D.I.D. (dissociative identity disorder) formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

The series looks into how a family handles the various personalities that may appear on any given day, including "T", a provocative teenager, "Buck", a gun-toting Vietnam vet and "Alice", a Betty Crocker homemaker who thinks baking is the answer to everything.

Collette says that she liked the idea of the project and wanted to see how well she could portray the different personalities.

United States of Tara airs Sundays at 10pm on Showtime.

The interview was recorded in January 2008 specifically for WOODTV.com.

this show is SOOOO FUNNY. and i had no idea she had an accent

[Meashayshay2]

She hides her accent so well in the show. xD

She is such a good actress.

[MrQwertacious]

she lives on my road

[blue1spiral]

Yeah, I had no feeling like it was taking the condition too lightly. I think it's very well handled. This is my new favorite show. And that's a big deal because I hardly watch TV and I'm very picky :)

[fromage224]

she's Australian, and only speaks with an American accent to have a more commercial career. She was famous in Australia before America had even heard of her!! :)

[BridgesGoddess]

I hope this comes out on DVD soon. She's one of the best actresses out there.
