Tara Hanover

Brazilian-American Tara Hanover grew up in a small rural town on California's central coast. With a Brazilian Jewish mother and a father raised Catholic in Kansas City, Tara embraced different cultures and perspectives from a young age. She speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish, has lived and studied in Brazil, Spain and Japan and holds multiple citizenships. These dichotomies of her background - rural small-town and big city, Jewish and Catholic, Brazilian and American - have helped her to explore the complexities in each character she plays, both comically and tragically.
