Anthony Stewart Head

Anthony Stewart Head, 46, was raised in Hampton, England (near London).
Anthony is the son of documentary filmmaker Seafield Head and actress Helen Shingler.
He studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, and got his first big break playing Jesus in "Godspell."
He went on to star in a number of theater productions, including "The Rocky Horror Show,"
in which he played the transvestite Frank N. Furter.
Anthony also appeared in many BBC productions, and some American ones as well,
but he may be best known in the U.S. for his role in a series of thirteen commercials for Taster's Choice
(Gold Blend in England), in which he and his female neighbor courted over coffee.
In his free time, Anthony is working on a script for a animated, musical feature film,
in the vein of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
He divides his time between Los Angeles and England; his girlfriend and children
live at their home in England,so he tries to spend at least six days per month there.
Anthony enjoys horse-riding, swimming, and singing,
and has been known to watch "Sunset Beach" and "The Young and the Restless."

Seth Green
}a.k.a. 'Daniel "Oz" Osborne'{

Seth Green, 26, was born to Herbert, a math teacher, and Barbara, an artist.
He graduated from Lamberton High School in 1991. It is said that a photograph
of him being born was used in an ad campaign for natural childbirth, but this rumor
has been denied by Seth's mother. Seth actually got his start in commercials as a child,
for such products as Froot Loops and Jello Pudding Pops. One of his commercials was with
Sarah Michelle Gellar, when she was four years old. He went on to appear in numerous TV
shows and movies, including a role as Alyson Hannigan's love interest in 1988's
"My Stepmother Is An Alien." The two have remained friends since then, so Seth felt welcome
on the set when he joined the cast of BtVS. Interestingly, Seth had a part in the movie
version of BtVS — unfortunately, his part ended up on the cutting room floor, though a still
photo of him (as a vampire) is on the back of the video box. Though Seth has a very large
list of credits, he didn't gain a wwhole lot of attention until BtVS and Austin Powers came
along. Now he has attention and a lot of fans — especially, according to him, eleven
to seventeen year old girls. As for the future, Seth is not interested in directing,
but he would like to produce, as well as keep acting. He and his best friends Breckin
Meyer and Ryan Phillippe have an office where they peruse scripts, and they are aiming
to produce films together.

Alyson Lee Hannigan, 26, got her start in show business at four years old, modeling and
appearing in commercials (for such companies as McDonald's, Six Flags Amusement Parks,
and Oreo cookies). At some point, her family moved to Atlanta, and later to California,
so that Alyson could audition for more roles. At fourteen, she got her first big role, in
the film, "My Stepmother is an Alien;" interestingly, Seth Green played her love interest in
the movie. Though she continued working, Alyson didn't get famous until she got the part of
Willow on "Buffy," and the recognition has allowed her to start getting bigger roles in bigger
movies. Alyson enjoys soccer (she hasn't played too much since she was injured at thirteen,
though), she is a fan of old Shirley Temple movies, and she loves dolphins. She is computer
literate, though not so much as her "BtVS" character, and she has been known to check out some
of the fan sites dedicated to her and even to post at the official site's posting board.

Nicholas Brendon, 29, attended College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California (he is a California native), where he played baseball. His original goal in life was to play professional baseball, but he had to give up that goal when he broke his arm in a manner which diminished his baseball performance. He decided to give acting a try (though he first had to work on eliminating his stutter) — his first job was a Clearasil commercial. But he wasn't getting a lot of work, so he got a behind the scenes job as a production assistant on "Dave's World." This led to an audition for the same series, which he nailed, and soon after his luck got a bit better, culminating in his landing the role of Xander on "BtVS." Nicholas enjoys baseball, basketball, and camping, and lives with his identical twin brother, Kelly (who is often mistaken for Nick by fans). He's friends with fellow WB stars Jason Behr (Roswell) and Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek), and says that even if he could, he wouldn't change the character of Xander.

James Wesley Marsters, 31, grew up in Modesto, California (that's right, the accent is fake). He decided when he was just three years old that he wanted to be an actor. He studied at Juilliard and has done a lot of work in theater. He loves theater acting, but also loves his work on Buffy — especially the violent scenes and stuntwork. James listens to all kinds of music, from Radiohead to the Sex Pistols, and he likes his steaks very rare. The scar on his left eyebrow is from an attempted mugging in New York, but the more interesting one is the one on his left leg: he shredded it on a sprinkler head as a child ("My leg slid down my bone like a sock"), was off his feet for almost a year, and the hair there grows sideways due to the skin graft he had done. James is an admitted night owl, but not really a partier — he doesn't drink, and he takes joy in late night cable television. His hobbies include driving in the desert, playing guitar, singing, painting, and writing. James (who is left handed, by the way, like Jamie) lives in Los Angeles with his cat, Zachary.

Charisma Carpenter, 29, is reportedly nothing like her character (that's a relief). Named after an Avon perfume, she was born in Las Vegas and lived there until she was fifteen, when her family moved to Mexico, and then to a San Diego suburb. Throughout the course of all this moving, Charisma attended three high schools: Gorman Catholic High School in Las Vegas, Bonita High School near San Diego, and the Chula Vista High School of the Creative and Performing Arts in San Diego, where she graduated in 1988 with an emphasis in classical dance. Charisma was a fairly average teenager, with her share of bad grades and broken curfews. She wasn't overwhelmingly popular, but she was a cheerleader and a member of the homecoming court, so she wasn't an outcast, either. After high school, she spent some time in Europe and then entered community college in San Diego, working at various points as a waitress, a property manager, a video store clerk, an aerobics instructor, and a San Diego Chargers Cheerleader. Eventually, she moved to Los Angeles, where she was introduced to a commercial agent while working as a waitress. She started taking acting classes for the first time, and discovered that she loved acting and could actually make a living at it. She appeared in numerous commercials, including a Secret antiperspirant commercial that ran for two years, and eventually got a guest spot on "Baywatch." Aaron Spelling saw her and cast her as mega-bitch Ashley Green in his short-lived series, "Malibu Shores." While working on that show, she went to audition for the role of Buffy on "BtVS," but they also had her read for Cordelia, which she was not prepared for. Despite that, she got the role (reportedly after Bianca Lawson, who later appeared as Kendra, turned it down). Charisma enjoys ballet, horseback riding, rollerblading, hiking, and rock-climbing, and has even sky-dived. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her Golden Retriever.

Emma Caulfield, twentysomething, is relatively new to the Hollywood scene. You might recognize her from her stint on Beverly Hills, 90210 as Brandon's girlfriend Susan, or even from her small role on General Hospital as nurse Lorraine. After those roles, Emma had put acting on the backburner to focus on college, receiving a degree in Psychology, but Buffy beckoned. She much prefers playing Anya the mortal, and says that with every new script, she prays that she doesn't see the words, "Anya gets her powers back" — although she wouldn't mind Anya getting her powers back so much, as long as she didn't have to get into the demon makeup. Emma is an "ultraconservative" and politically minded, saying that if Liddy Dole ever runs for office again, "I'm there!" Though she loves her current job, she's not so sure that she wants to be acting 15 years from now, noting that the business is masochistic, and that an actor can never have true peace.

Eliza Patricia Dushku, 19, grew up in Watertown, Massachusetts, and graduated from high school there. She is Albanian-Danish, and was raised Mormon, but isn't extremely religious these days (she does "believe in a higher power"). Her mother is a college professor, and her oldest brother is in the Peace Corps in Central America. Eliza got what you might call her start in the business by signing plays for deaf children at the Watertown Children's Theater, but she got her first film role at 10 years old, in That Night. She continued to get movie roles (you might recognize her as the daughter in True Lies) until she chose to take some time off during her junior and senior years of high school. Buffy was her first role after graduating high school (originally intended as a five-episode stint), and since filming started well before her eighteenth birthday, she had to become legally emancipated from her parents in order to work the long hours. Eliza is a self-described tomboy, only recently starting to "act like a girl." She is a good singer, has studied dance, does a little Tae-Bo, and loves yoga. Her musical tastes range from the Beastie Boys to Lauryn Hill to Metallica. She currently lives with one of her brothers, and will appear in the movies Cheer Fever and Soul Survivors this fall. She is open to guest appearances on Buffy and/or Angel, but she has no interest in signing a long-term contract, and plans to attend college.

David Boreanaz, 29, graduated from Ithaca College in New York, where he acted and studied film, before moving to Los Angeles to try to break into show business. He didn't do too well at first, though he did manage to get a small part on "Married ... With Children." Rather, he worked such jobs as parking cars, painting houses, and selling gourmet food door-to-door. He got his lucky break while walking his dog, Bertha Blue — a manager saw him, signed him, and called "Buffy" casting director Marcia Schulman to arrange an audition for the role of Angel. Obviously, he got it, and women and girls around the world have been admiring him ever since. David's father is a popular weatherman on Philadelphia's ABC affiliate, WPVI. As David mentions on most talk shows, he was also the host of Rocketship 7 from 1962-78 (he went by the name Dave Thomas then). You can see his father's bio and picture on ABC's site here, and some older pictures of him here and here. David is divorced from his wife, Ingrid Quinn.
