King Diamond's Kingdom- The Cast


David Boreanaz is Angel on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Angel was once a young man who lived in Ireland. Bitten by Darla, an evil vampire, he became one of the greatest plagues to mankind until a gypsy curse returned his soul. He then lived on the streets of New York feeding on rats until a good demon asked if he would like to help Buffy. He showed in Sunnydale every once in a while to offer the slayer a cryptic warning. Slowly, sparks began to fly and despite them both fighting it, the slayer and reformed vampire fell in love. Angel was sweet and devoted. He protected Buffy with his all until one night of passion between the two stripped him of that returned soul. He returned to his evil ways and was about to awaken Accathala to bring Hell on earth, when Willow recursed him with his soul. But it was too late, Accathala had been awoken and Buffy was faced with no choice but to send him to hell to close the vortex Accathala was creating.

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



Sarah Michelle Gellar is Buffy Summers on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) just wants to be a regular kid. She moved to Sunnydale to get away from her calling as the Vampire Slayer. Unfortunately for her, she moved right on top of the hellmouth. But she has made some good friends, some good fiends, and a boyfriend turned enemy turned boyfriend. She takes all of this in stride contemplating life with her watcher while staking vampires, and she manages to do it all without messing her hair or smearing her makeup (although it does result sometimes in a broken nail or two.)

Emmy Award-winning actress Sarah Michelle Gellar is a veteran of television, theater and the big screen, having worked for nearly 15 of her young 20 years. In addition to starring in The WB's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Gellar will conquer the big screen this year in two highly anticipated feature films written by Kevin Williamson ("Dawson's Creek") - "Scream 2," the sequel to last year's blockbuster hit, and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" co-starring Jenifer Love Hewitt ("Party Of Five").

Starring in the title role of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Gellar plays a somewhat reluctant hero who fights off vampires at night while juggling the traumas of high school during the day. Fighting evil creatures requires adeptness in the martial arts, a challenge which Gellar has been devoted to since before landing the role. Having studied the Korean art of Tae kwon Do for four years and earning a brown belt, Gellar spends her free time both on and off the set continuing her training with the series stunt coordinator.

No stranger to television, the versatile actress won an Emmy Award in 1994 for her memorable role as Kendall Hart, the devious secret daughter of Erica Kane (Susan Lucci), on the daytime drama "All My Children." She played a younger Jackie Kennedy in the critically acclaimed mini-series"AWoman
Named Jackie," and starred with Valerie Harper and Jeff Daniels in the television movie "An Invasion of Privacy." She was also a regular on the Syndicated show "Girl Talk."

Gellar's feature film credits include the Warner Bros. movie "Funny Farm," "Over the Brooklyn Bridge" and "High Stakes." She also performed in New York stage productions of "The Widow Claire" opposite Matthew Broderick at Circle in the Square, and "Jake's Women" at the Old Globe Theatre. A Manhattan native, Gellar currently resides in Los Angeles.



Charisma Carpenter is Cordelia Chase on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Cordy (not though her own wishes) has slowly become a part of the slayerettes. Her and Xander used to fight like cats and dogs until one day that burning hate became a burning desire and they started making out in broom closets, too ashamed to tell their friends. Finally, their secret came to light and they've been going out since (although they still fight constantly). Cordy has slowly been becoming less and less selfish and is actually beginning to become a resource to the gang.

Charisma Carpenter had no plans to pursue acting, but fate intervened in Los Angeles while she was working as a waitress to save for her education. Carpenter was discovered by a commercial agent, and her career in front of the camera began. She appeared in more than 20 commercials, including one for Secret antiperspirant which ran for two years. Her first big break in television came with a guest shot on the popular series "Baywatch." Not long after, she auditioned for Aaron Spelling, who cast her in the role of Ashley in the NBC series "Malibu Shores."

Carpenter was born in Las Vegas, and lived there until she was 15, when her family moved to Mexico and San Diego to take classes at the School of the Creative and Performing Arts. After graduating from high school, she traveled through Europe. Upon returning, she moved to San Diego where she held various jobs to support herself through junior college. Her job experience at that time included working in a video store, teaching aerobics, and waiting on tables - the job that ultimately
led to her acting career. Offscreen, the brunette beauty enjoys the outdoors - rollerblading, hiking, sky diving, rock climbing, running and horseback riding - as well as traveling and cooking. She also
continues to dance, and is a former San Diego Charger Girl cheerleader. Carpenter currently lives in Los Angeles with her golden retriever.



Anthony Stewart Head is Rupert Giles on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Giles is Buffy's watcher. It is his duty to train and protect her and he tries his best. He is very devoted to his slayer and would sooner put his life on the line than hers. Always available for a long explaination or a bit of Brittish humor, Giles has proven himself invaluable to the gang time and time again.

Anthony Stewart Head has enjoyed a successful acting career in his native England for many years, but it was a popular series of coffee commercials that brought him his greatest recognition in the United States. Head starred as the intriguing romantic lead in a dozen Taster's Choice commercials, each tracing the budding romance between two neighbors who share a love for the same coffee.

Head was a regular cast member on the sci-fi television series "VR.5." He also guest starred on the series "Highlander" and the critically acclaimed police drama "NYPD Blue." Additional credits include the Showtime movie "Royce" with Jim Belushi; and the feature films "A Prayer for the Dying," "Devil's Hill" and "Lady Chatterley's Lover." He has performed in several BBC Productions, including "Secret Army," "Accident," "Bergerac," "The Grudge Fight," "Howard's Way" and "Pulaski." Head also starred in the British television productions "Enemy at the Door" and "Love in a Cold Climate."

Head was born in Camdentown, England, and grew up in Hampton. He attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, and got his first show business break playing Jesus in "Godspell" in the West End. He went on to star in a number of theater productions, including "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," "Julius Caesar," "The Heiress," "Chess," Peter Shaffer's "Yonadab" at the Royal National Theatre, and "Rope." Head divides his time between home in Los Angeles and England.



Nicholas Brendon is Xander Harris on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Xander is Buffy's right hand man. He always has a hand to lend and a wisecrack to say. Xander developed an instant crush on Buffy and asked her to a school dance but she turned him down saying that she only thought of him as a friend. He's started dating Cordilia as of late but we all know he still has feelings for Buffy. And recently he told Willow he loved her as she lay in a coma. Is it platonic or something more? All we know is that Xander is always after what he can't have.

Newcomer Nicholas Brendon, who portrays the sardonic Xander with sensitivity and humor, already has an impressive list of credits in television, film and theatre. With his aspirations of playing professional baseball quashed when an arm injury cut his sports career short, he turned to the acting game for a new challenge. Soon after, he made his television debut in a Clearasil commercial.

Yet, as roles were few and far between, he persevered in entertainment and switched to the other side of the camera, working as a television production assistant on "Dave's World." When he nailed an audition for a guest-starring role on the series, Brendon gained the confidence he needed and continued to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Fate soon smiled upon him and he was called in to audition for the role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

In television, he had a recurring role on the daytime soap opera "The Young and the Restless," and starred in the pilot "Secret Lives." He played an evil corn follower in the feature film "Children of the Corn III-Urban Harvest," and starred in Los Angeles theatre productions of "The Further Adventures of Tom Sawyer" at Theatre West, "My Own Private Hollywood" at The Black Hole Theatre and "Out of Gas on Lovers' Leap" at the Pasadena Playhouse. Offsreen, the Los Angeles native enjoys basketball, camping and spending quality time with friends and family, including his identical twin brother, Kelly, with whom he shares a home.



Alyson Hannigan is Willow Rosenberg on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Willow, the quiet, computer savy friend of Buffy's silently carried a torch for Xander for the longest time. She's now met Oz, a blase member of a local band "Dingoes Ate My Baby" and the two make a really adorable couple. She's always been Buffy and Xander's main supporter. Always there with a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen, she's become an invaluable resource for their heartache and trauma.

In "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Alyson Hannigan plays a shy wallflower who becomes Buffy's friend and confidante. In real life, Hannigan is a veteran actress who has been performing since the age of four. During the series' hiatus, she filmed the Paramount/MTV Films feature "Dead Man on Campus," starring Tom Everett Scott and Mark Paul Gossalar.

She began her career in Atlanta doing commercials, working steadily in national spots for companies like McDonald's, Six Flags Amusement Parks and Oreo cookies. When Hannigan was 11, she moved to Los Angeles in hopes of breaking into film and television. Her breakthrough role came when she was cast as Dan Aykroyd's misunderstood daughter in the feature film "My Stepmother Is an Alien." She went on to guest star on a number of popular television shows, including "Picket Fences," "Roseanne" and "Touched by an Angel." She was a recurring guest star on the series "Almost Home" and a series regular on "Free Sprit." In her free time, the Washington, D.C. native and Dr. seuss fan likes to surf the web, practice kick-boxing and spend time with her dogs and cats. She currently resides in Los Angeles.


Seth Green is Willow Rosenberg on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Oz has just been recently introduced to the gang. He took the existance of vampires extremely well stating that it explained a lot. He is a guitarist for the band "Dingoes Ate My Baby". He is extremely in love with Willow. He's also a warewolf. Bitten by his cousin, Oz becomes a large wolf 3 days in the month. Willow doesn't mind though - as she says, three days out of the month, she's not too fun to be around either.
