After getting her BFA degree in Theatre Performance from the University of Evansville, Rutina Wesley spent four years training as an actor at The Juilliard School Drama Division in New York City. Then, after a bit part in step dancing flick How She Move (2007), Rutina got her big break when the producers of the HBO vampire drama True Blood cast her as Tara Thornton, the character at the center of the novels on which the series is based. Mr Skin is hoping that Rutina will follow in the footsteps of her True Blood costars and get nude soon.
