Showtime multiplies the fun in 'Tara' promo
The advantage to doing a show about multiple personality disorder is that you can add a character without hiring another actor. That's the situation with Showtime's United States of Tara. Check out the promo here for the second season, which begins in March. Fans will recognize Buck, Alice and T, the three alternate personalities hiding within Tara, played by Toni Collette. But the spot (directed by Tom Koh of Blind) also reveals a fourth alter, Shoshanna, a flower child who'll be introduced in the new season. The only character missing is Gimme, which is probably a good thing.
