In fact, she played a Satanist on an HBO sitcom co-created by Mike Judge \u2014 &#8220;Silicon Valley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Vayntrub showed up twice during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/why-hbos-silicon-valley-ended-181200671.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:the six seasons of &quot;Silicon Valley&quot;;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the six seasons of &#8220;Silicon Valley&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0as a character called Tara. It&#8217;s not a huge role \u2014 in fact, she probably has more lines in a typical less-than-60-second AT&amp;T commercial than she does in all her &#8220;Silicon Valley&#8221;\u00a0scenes put together \u2014 but it&#8217;s a memorable comedic outing, nonetheless. In Season 1&#8217;s episode titled &#8220;Third Party Insourcing,&#8221; she&#8217;s introduced as the girlfriend of Bertram Gilfoyle (Martin Starr). The couple met through their shared love of LaVeyan Satanism \u2014 not to be confused with the Theistic kind of Satanism that worships an actual devil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Tara&#8217;s next outing in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/15-best-hbo-original-series-000200965.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:HBO series;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HBO series<\/a> occurs in Season 3&#8217;s &#8220;To Build a Better Beta.&#8221; In this one, she appears on a computer screen with her pet snake and gives the Pied Piper guys some words of encouragement about the beta version of their platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, some &#8220;Silicon Valley&#8221; fans believe Tara should have had a more substantial role.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SiliconValleyHBO\/comments\/1os2014\/comment\/nocvmor\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:One Reddit user;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">One Reddit user<\/a> wrote, &#8220;I think Tara was a really underrated character and I think her backstory could&#8217;ve been interesting to explore!&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SiliconValleyHBO\/comments\/e27qhj\/comment\/f8uiyvd\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Another Redditor;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Another Redditor<\/a> noted,\u00a0&#8220;Don&#8217;t think SV really showed her humor, but I&#8217;m always psyched to see that she&#8217;s in something I dig.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/every-stark-game-thrones-ranked-160200975.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Every Stark In Game Of Thrones, Ranked;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Every Stark In Game Of Thrones, Ranked<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Enjoyed this article?
