Boreanaz, 27, 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. Prior to BUFFY, Boreanaz guest-starred on "Married ... with Children" as Kelly's greasy motorcyle rider boyfriend and "Men Don't Lie," as well as appeared in several films, including "Best of the Best II" and "Aspen Extreme."

As with many Hollywood actors, he has also been seen parking cars at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, handing out towels at a gym,and doing commercials from time to time. 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.

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 agency resume lists some of his special skills as dialects (NY, London, German, Italian), basketball,baseball, football, bungee jumping, tennis, skiing, and harmonica.

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