Nicholas Brendon



Here's a guy who may play a hapless victim of unrequited love, but it's just a clear veneer.
There's little doubt or question: Nicholas Brendon, who portrays the lovelorn-for-Buffy-but-she-doesn't-return-his -affection Xander, is a total babe.
A recent episode, where usually geeky Xander gets possessed by the spirit of a particularly nasty group of hyenas proves it.
Wow. He's a great bad boy.
He smoulders.
Hopefully the series' writers will let him get nasty now and then. We'll certainly look forward to it...
Brendon's first stint in "Hollywood" was on a Clearasil commercial, followed by guest appearances on "Married... With Children" and "Dave's World." He also starred in a pilot called "Secret Lives." Here's something we're anxious to watch (and it's on cable this month!) -- his film debut was as a very un-Xander-like bad guy in "Children Of The Corn III." He's also been featured on stage in his native Los Angeles in three theater productions: "The Further Adventures of Tom Sawyer," "My Own Private Hollywood," and "Out of Gas on Lover's Leap."
After an acting dry spell, he wanted to see what life was like on the other side and he spent some time working as a television production assistant before landing the role of Xander.
Here's guy who's after our hearts. Who's his favorite actress? Does he do the typical guy thing and say Uma Thurman or someone else equally as traditionally babe-o-licious? Nope, this guy loves Rosie O'Donnell.
The fan of old movies, driving in his car alone, Jack Lemmon, "The Simpsons" and "Seinfeld" told UltimateTV that his favorite music right now comes courtesy of Nurfhurder and his favorite cut is "Sorry."
Now we're not "sorry" we're so smitten by him.
Brendon's enough reason to watch the thriller show (even though Sarah Michelle Gellar is quite hot, too).
