David Boreanaz as Angel

Drusilla's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Site | home

FORMER BUFFY CAST MEMBER

Angel first appeared on Buffy in the very beginning. He showed up after following Buffy around the streets at night. Buffy didn't know he was a vampire until later on. They all thought he must be bad because he is a vampire, but he was different. He had been cursed with a soul by some gypsies. Ever since he had been wallowing in guilt. His vast history was slowly discovered over the weeks, and many times he has saved numerous lives, including Buffy herself.

Then one day he lost his soul and became Angelus again, and endangered everyone's lives again. In the end Buffy and the Scooby Gang saved the day and Angel's soul was restored.

Angel now has his own show, 'Angel,' now in its 3rd season.

While relatively new to the world of acting, David Boreanaz has catapulted to stardom with his quiet intensity as the mysterious and tortured Angel on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." A native of Philadelphia, Boreanaz was exposed to television at a young age - his father is a veteran weather forecaster for WPVI in Philadelphia.

Since seeing the inspiring performance of Yul Brynner in "The King and I" at the young age of seven, Boreanaz had a feeling that acting would be in his future. After graduating from Ithaca College, he moved to Los Angeles to try his luck in Hollywood. While studying the craft of acting, Borneanaz lived the life of a starving actor doing such jobs as parking cars, painting houses and handing out towels at a sports club. Yet, it was while walking his dog in a Hollywood neighborhood that a manager spotted his brooding, intense look and instantly signed him as a client.

His first big break was a guest shot on "Married...With Children" playing Kelly Bundy's (Christina Applegate) biker boyfriend. He has also appeared in the television movie "Men Don't Lie." On Stage, Boreanaz has performed at the Ensemble Theatre in "Hatful of Rain," at the Gardner Stage in "Italian-American Reconciliation" and "Fool for Love," and on theatre row in "Cowboy Mouth." His feature film credits "Aspen Extreme," "Best of the Best 2" and "Eyes of the World."

Currently David Boreanaz lives in Los Angeles with his dog, Bertha Blue.
