Rutina Wesley is an American film, stage, and television actress.
After studying at the Las Vegas Academy, Wesley attended the University of Evansville, from where she obtained her B.F.A. in Theatre Performance in 2001, and the Juilliard School's Drama Division, where she performed in such productions as Macbeth, Richard III, The Winter's Tale, and The Marriage of Figaro. Wesley also spent a summer studying Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where she landed the title role in a production of Romeo and Juliet. Soon after her graduation from Juilliard in May 2005, she was cast by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes in the Broadway production of The Vertical Hour, starring alongside Julianne Moore and Bill Nighy.

She currently stars as Tara Thornton in the HBO series True Blood, her first role in a TV series; the role was originally held by Brook Kerr.

Wesley is a dark-skinned African American, and once addressed her color in an interview, saying, "[I]t's something that I've, my whole life, struggled with, being considered too dark by some..." She lives in Hollywood, California.
