i can’t believe so many people think boreanaz is a bad actor! hez THE reason i got into buffy in the first place. i mean, yea i agree that up until “Innocence” it seemed like boreanaz was just eye-candy for the viewers and probably didnt hav any acting ability. but his portrayal of angelus was absolutely amazing! i love spike as much as the next guy, marsters plays him brilliantly and itz not hard to see why so many ppl love the bad-ass character of spike, but the evil spike and the ensouled spike are pretty much the same character. angelus on the other hand is COMPLETELY different from angel…..itz like watching 2 different ppl on screen. and the credit for that goes to david boreanaz. even joss whedon was unsure abt making angel evil on buffy’s second season, cuz he didnt think boreanaz had the acting ability to effectively play that character. when he saw wat david did he was so impressed he gave him his own series! alexis denisof is probably the best buffyverse actor, and i agree that james marsters is great as well. but calling david boreanaz a bad actor?!?!? i just dont get how anyone who saw him interchange between the laconic, introverted angel (who was also brilliantly portrayed by david, especially in Angel’s 2nd season) and angelus can possibly say that david boreanaz is a bad actor! as far as i’m concerned, david boreanaz OWNS buffyverse!

Welcome, Cushionmover.

Maybe that’s what he means. It might also mean that he believes in being passionate and he’s a Taurus, so that would make sense.

I think I have decided to skip Angel for now. I have rented the only two movies I can find in my country with Vincent Kartheiser. “Indian in the cupboard” and “The unsaid” so I will look forward to watching those this weekend.

I agree with his view about love and hate. It´s the “you have to go through the bad to appreciate the good” kind of thing? Or am I wrong?

But I am happy for all your welcome.

Congratulations to Vincent K! Good work.

Also, did you all see that one of his quotes on imdb shows he’s perfect for the part of Pete:

“I think it’s healthy to hate. I think it’s extremely healthy, because without hate, you cannot see love. Without red, there wouldn’t be any green. That’s not a very good metaphor but, you know, it’s the same.”

Btw, you all wouldn’t be surprised if I said that I agree with VK that it’s healthy to hate (though for slightly different reasons).

Pete Campbell is such a great character. What a weasel that guy is, but Kartheiser works it. Love me some Jon Hamm, but everyone on this show does such a fantastic job. I’m glad to see someone else getting recognized, too.

I think Boreanaz has done good work when stretching himself; Angel to Angelus (you’re right, season 4 Angel was weird; a totally atypical Angelus performance), the “possession” episode of Buffy, the memory loss episode of Angel. Good stuff.

And I’m not an expert on the Irish accent, but I’ve heard actual Irish people who sound EXACTLY like Irish Angelus; I’ve heard much worse accents from supposedly much better actors.

I know a lot of people think Boreanaz sucks, but I’m not one of them. Brilliant actor? Nah, but I’m okay with him. Plus he is quite pretty.

(Oh except as Angelus in Season 4 of Angel. But nearly everything was reprehensible about Season 4 of Angel.

Glass, to be all indulgey, here’s a post I did on my blog about BtVS getting into my dreams:

Right, but eventually he had to play Angelus who was all sorts of smiling, well, smirking/cocky. He also got better at that.
