Vanessa Rare's debut acting role was as scheming solo mother Rata, in hit comedy Ruby and Rata. The NZ Herald's Peter Calder wrote that Rare "fills the screen with a presence one would expect of a veteran performer". Daughter of a runner and a champion ballet dancer, she went on to act in Barry Barclay's Te Rua, Shortland Street and Māori TV comedy Kai Korero. Rare has also written for Mataku, and made short film Pikowae.
... there are so many talented Māori out there, much more talented than me. So my message to them is, just keep on doing it, keep on dreaming — if it can happen to me it can happen to you.
– Vanessa Rare, in an October 1990 article on Ruby and Rata
