In my opinion Tamzin is the first actress to really capture Katherine Howard on screen. Every other, with the possible exception of Lynn Frederick in HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES has seemed too cunning and knowing. Even in the Charles Laughton classic THE PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII and the BBC's 1970 series, Katherine was portrayed by older, more sophisticated actresses, whose performances detracted from the tragic story of Henry's child bride. Tamzin is definietly my favourite TUDORS wife.

Lara Croft? :D

She interviews well, and seems like a nice girl, but TBH I've found her extremely annoying in most of her acting roles. I understand that as Katherine Howard she's meant to be immature and a bit slultty, but in other roles she's also come across in a similar way (in Edwin Drood etc.) when it didn't fit the role. Or to put it another way, she's a shit actress who just gets offered some parts as posh characters because she herself is posh!

Leave acting to the actresses (i.e. Emilia Clarke).

I didn't like her character, but the actress is just gorgeous

She should have played Daenerys instead of Emilia Clarke :(

I have this mindset where Katherine Howard, bless her soul, was kind of an immature child. And to hear Tamzin talk so maturely is like, WOAH.
