Did You Know...?

Joss was originally posed with making BtVS into a half hour afternoon power rangers type show. He turned them down.

The Annointed One was killed off in the show because the actor, Andrew J. Ferchland, was going through puberty and vampires are not supposed to age.

Alyson Hannigan did not protray Willow Rosenberg in the original pilot episode. She later took on the role of Willow for the first episode, "Welcome to the Hellmouth."

Alyson Hannigan was the person who originally posed the idea of becoming a main character to Seth Green.

As a child Sarah Michelle Gellar was sued by McDonald's for a Burger King commercial in which she said something like: Do I look 20% smaller to you? I must because all of McDonald's hamburgers are 20% smaller than ours.

Seth Green and Sarah Michelle Gellar were cast together in a commercial when they were young by future BtVS casting director Marcia Schulman.

Durring season three Seth Green made each cast member (and Joss Whedon) a action figure of their character for Christmas using sculpey and parts from old action figures.

Sarah Michelle Gellar originally auditioned for and won the part of Cordelia.

Julie Benz (Darla) originally auditioned for the role of Buffy. When she didn't get it they came and asked her to play Darla, she was worried because she didn't think she could play a vampire.

Joss Whedon is a huge fan of the movie The Wild Bunch. In fact Tector and Lyle Gorch are names taken directly from the movie. They are thief brothers in the wild west. And in the original buffy movie Luke Perry played Pike. Pike is the name of the leader of the gang in The Wild Bunch.

We all know that SMG was in Scream 2. In her death scene where she's in the den looking for the killer La Nosferatu (the vampire) is playing on the television.

The actor that played Jack O'tolle in season 3's The Zeppo, was in Can't Hardly Wait with Seth Green.

Sarah Michelle Gellar broke a bone in her hand filming the episode "Homecoming".

Luke (from the Harvest) and the Judge (from Surprise and Innocence) were played by the same actor.

Joss Whedon co-wrote the screen-play for Toy Story.

(Child) Sarah Michelle Gellar was in a burger King Commercial that featured both Elizabeth Shue and Lea Thompson. (Remember that above mentioned law suit?)

Fran Rubel Kuzui directed the original Buffy movie and is a producer of the show.

Anthony Stewart head was in the short lived Fox series VR5, and he was the Taster's Choice Guy. But did you know that he was also the cross dresser Dr. Frank-n-Furter in a stage production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Seth Green was in the Original Buffy movie, but all his scenes were edited out. Don't you wish they made a director's cut.

Charisma Carpenter was a cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers.

Joss Whedon wrote 2 movies scripts for spec and sold them but neither were made. He then re-wrote "Waterworld" for an astonishing $100,000 a week.

Joss Whedon did a complete uncredited rewrite of "Speed". He changed Keanu Reves character from a fly-off the handle guy to the calm, cool, hero.

Joss Whedon won an Oscar nomination for "Toy Story" and went on the help write "Twister".
