Brook Kerr as Tara Thornton on "True Blood"

Sookie Stackhouse's best friend Tara Thornton on "True Blood" was almost played by an actress other than Rutina Wesley. Initially, soap star Brook Kerr was cast in the part, and she even filmed the original unaired pilot before being recast. Fans still haven't learned why Kerr was recast, but thanks to footage leaked online from the pilot episode, you can catch a bit of her performance.
