BUFFYVERSE: New series
Spotted in Philadelphia Daily News:
Boreanaz is also part of another group of returning favorites. The former "Angel" star, whose character was launched on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," is just one of a number of former "Buffyverse" denizens who'll be working this fall.
Alyson Hannigan, who played Willow, is co-starring in CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," while Charisma Carpenter, who played Cordelia on both "Buffy" and "Angel," is joining the cast of UPN's "Veronica Mars."
Nicholas Brendon, who was Buffy's friend Xander, will be dealing with diners, not demons, in Fox's "Kitchen Confidential," while James "Spike" Marsters will show up as a completely different kind of bad guy - without the English accent and the bleached hair - in the WB's "Smallville."
Overbrook Park's Seth Green, who since his stint as Willow's werewolf boyfriend Oz has worked steadily on everything from the "Austin Powers" movies and indie films to the Cartoon Network's "Robot Chicken," will settle down in a slightly more conventional role in ABC's buddy sitcom "Four Kings."
However all these new projects turn out, the actors will likely face questions for the rest of their careers about the roles that first brought them to our attention.
Even if they weren't particularly memorable.
Heather Graham, who despite a stint on "Scrubs" last season, is still more known for movies than TV, will be starring in ABC's midseason comedy, "Emily's Reasons Why Not."
Her network bio mentions a stint in "Twin Peaks," though not one even most TV critics appear to have remembered.
One finally asked what she'd done on the show.
"Oh, I was Annie Blackburn," she said. "I'm not positive that was my last name, but I was Peggy Lipton's sister. I tried to commit suicide. I was a nun, and I was Kyle MacLachlan's love interest.
"And I think we went on a boat and we made out, and we started a relationship.
"It was very, very far towards the end of the show," she added.
Hey, laugh if you like, but there may come a day when Boreanaz will have piled up enough other roles that he'll actually have to explain to a group of professional couch potatoes that he once played "a vampire with a soul."
