David Boreanaz’s Surprising Confession About His First Day on Buffy Set!

by

As a resurgence of the beloved series approaches, various tales have surfaced about the original production, with cast members reflecting on their experiences during the groundbreaking show. At this point, it’s uncertain which actors from the initial cast will make appearances, aside from Sarah Michelle Gellar in her role as Buffy Summers. While Sarah Michelle Gellar had already built a reputation as an actor when she took on the part, her co-star was still relatively unknown – and the director of the pilot episode revealed just how green he was at the time.

Prior to crafting the entire first episode of the series, creator Joss Whedon initially produced a 25-minute pilot. During an appearance on the RE-VAMPED podcast with Juliet Landau, Charles Martin Smith reminisced about Boreanaz, stating that he resembled a “fearful” child at that time.

In the episode where David portrayed Angel, it seemed to be his debut scene. I recall seeing him arrive on set and thinking he looked incredibly nervous. David appeared unsure of himself during that time. Years later, I ran into him at a Hollywood gathering, and he thanked me for helping him through his initial day. He was quite gracious about it. He mentioned, “I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, but thanks, Charlie.

Could David Boreanaz Return for the ‘Buffy’ Revival?

Throughout the show’s run, Boreanaz’s character Angel, the vampire with a soul, journeyed to and from hell, and following strong viewership during the first two seasons, he was granted his own spin-off series titled “Angel“, which lasted for three seasons.

After wrapping up Buffy and Angel, David Boreanaz has consistently graced our screens, with notable performances as Seeley Booth in 12 seasons of the crime series Bones and Jason Hayes in SEAL Team for 7 seasons. With his involvement in SEAL Team coming to an end last year, Boreanaz may now find himself with some free time, potentially making him available for a guest appearance on the upcoming Buffy series. Though he has previously expressed reservations about returning to the character of Angel, given that many of the original cast members were similarly hesitant until recently, there’s always the possibility that he might reconsider.

New information has emerged about the upcoming series, revealing that Gellar will make recurring appearances, potentially taking on a mentor-like role similar to Anthony Head’s character, Giles, in the original show. The new cast will also include characters like a novice Slayer seeking guidance and assistance as they aim to stop the Hellmouth from reopening and saving Sunnydale from another impending destruction.

As the concept of the upcoming series is still fresh, fans have swiftly shown enthusiasm for it and are likely keeping tabs on the social media platforms of ex-franchise actors like James Marsters and Boreanaz, eager to spot any sign of their possible return in the revival.
