What is AmberBenson.TV?
It’s an unofficial UK based fan site dedicated to actor, writer, director and producer Amber Benson. In fact, at this point it’s very hard to think of anything she can’t do.
So why build a fan site?
Well I’ll start my story at the beginning, I was going to write it in a nonlinear style, set in a world where nothing is as it seems. Then I thought it might be a little hard to follow but I digress so here goes:
My story:
A few years ago a very good friend of mine suggested I watch a TV show called Buffy The Vampire Slayer which still means a lot to me.
I'm going to break off from telling my story for a moment as I feel it's important to mention the allegations made against Joss Whedon.
I like many fans were shocked and saddened by allegations against the show's creator Joss Whedon made by Charisma Carpenter 10th of February 2021. These have been supported by Amber Benson herself and a number of their fellow cast members. I have written a sperate post to talk about this in more detail and would encourage you to read this click here.
Now the second part of my story, the talented cast of Buffy The Vampire Slayer include Amber Benson. As I watched, I noticed Amber in the role of Tara Maclay, as a character, she was sensitive and stronger than she realised.
I enjoyed Amber’s work on Buffy, so I wanted to see what other roles Amber had tackled and discovered a diverse list of projects both before and after her time on Buffy. Amber isn’t just a talented actress, but also an author, director and singer... although she doesn’t sing enough, in my opinion.
On September 16th 2007 (yes I remember the date), I was lucky enough to meet Amber at a signing in the UK. I’m still amazed by just how kind and generous she was with her time. I had a great time as we chatted about her career. I left with an idea “wouldn’t it be great to share information about Amber’s career with fellow fans.” I met Amber again in at another signing in 2009, and it was nice to have the opportunity to talk to her again and she was even more beautiful too. Amber, just in case you ever read this, sorry I had to say it.
At this point you’re probably asking what took you so long?
Well, back in 2007 I really didn’t know how build a website. I also started a new job that kept me busy. I finally decided it was now or never and after a few years and false starts AmberBenson.TV finally went online in 2013. I couldn’t have made this site happen without the help of two very good friends. Andrew, who helped me to build the site, thanks for your hard work and teaching me about web design. Trista I always thought I knew a lot about Buffy, and Amber, until I met you, thanks for making this even more fun.
AmberBenson.TV has information on Amber’s career in film & television and as an author and lots more too. I hope everyone enjoys the site! Have fun looking around, and don’t forget to check out the links page. If you have any questions email me!
