Alanna Masterson

Alanna Masterson had the tricky job of joining The Walking Dead well after the cast was established, and she made Tara Chambler stick anyway. Tara brought a much-needed streak of humor and warmth to an unrelentingly grim show, which is harder to pull off than people give it credit for, and her run lasted long enough to give the character a real arc. Coming from such a well-known acting family, she could have leaned on the name, but she carved out her own lane in genre television instead. I always thought she was underused; the show worked best when it let her be the human heartbeat in the middle of all that bleakness.

Alanna Masterson (born June 27, 1988) is an American actress from Long Island, New York. She is best known for playing Tara Chambler in the AMC horror series The Walking Dead. She comes from an acting family that includes her brothers Danny, Christopher, and Jordan Masterson.
