Actress Tara Wilson began signing for filmed roles in the early 2000s, and specialized in ethnically oriented character performances. Wilson landed one of her first assignments as the girlfriend of the late Puerto Rican actor Tito Goya in Piñero, director Leon Ichaso's ambitious biopic of the titular Latin American playwright, then followed this up with supporting portrayals in such outings as the low-budget crime thriller Snuffed Out (2002) and the urban drama Rap War One.
