DAVID BOREANAZ
"Angel"

David Boreanaz's catapult to stardom came one fateful day during a walk in the park. Spotted with his dog Bertha Blue, by a talent manager, David was immediately signed to an agency. After three auditions, he landed the role of "Angel," a dark sensitive and tortured vampire with a soul.

Born in Buffalo and raised in Philadelphia, David was exposed to the television business at an early age — his father is a weather forecaster for WPVI, the ABC affiliate in Philadelphia. Young David even appeared from time to time on his dad's show "Rocketship 7"— which the senior Boreanaz hosted from 1962 to 1978. But it wasn't until DB saw a performance of "The King and I" starring Yul Brenner, that he realized that acting was in his blood (so to speak).

Graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in film, David moved to Los Angeles to embark on his acting career. In the early years, David lived the life of a typical struggling Hollywood actor, working odd jobs and scoring small roles. He parked cars, painted houses and even sold gourmet food door-to-door.

His first big break came when he was cast in "Married…With Children" as Kelly Bundy's (Christina Applegate) leather-clad biker beau. The fateful walk in the park followed along shortly and Boreanaz never looked back.

On stage, David 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." An avid admirer of New York, he hopes to act on Broadway in the future.

But for the present, he'll have to settle for starring in the upcoming feature thriller flick "Valentine," which he filmed in Vancouver over the summer. Surprise! The film that David refers to as "a non-thrasher" horror film opens on Valentine's Day 2001. When not lurking on the set of "Angel" David plays golf every time he gets the chance. Like his vampire persona, he is a creature of the night. David was divorced from his wife Ingrid last year, and is currently single. He still resides in Los Angeles with his trusty dog Bertha Blue.

CHARISMA CARPENTER
"Cordelia Chase"

Like many aspiring actors, Charisma's career began with commercials. That didn't last long though. Her first television role was a guest appearance in "Baywatch." She was soon cast in the role of Ashley in the Aaron Spelling series "Malibu Shores." Then came the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" audition that sent her career soaring.

Though she originally auditioned for the role of Buffy Summers, producers loved her sharp-tongued wit and asked her to read for the role of Cordelia Chase. It was a match. She landed the part and played the slayer's nemesis for three successful seasons. Last year, she took her Cordelia persona to the highly successful spin-off "Angel."

Charisma was born in Las Vegas on July 23, 1970. Her folks couldn't agree on what to name their daughter. Their inspiration ended up coming from a bottle of Avon perfume. They didn't like the smell but they loved the name. Charisma has had her share of chiding because of the name, actually going by Chrissy until the age of 9.

The family lived in Vegas until Charisma was 13 when they moved to San Diego, where she began to take classes at the School of the Creative and Performing Arts in Chula Vista. After graduating from high school, she spent some time touring Europe. She returned to San Diego, and worked various jobs to support herself through junior college. Those jobs included a waitress, a property manager, a video store clerk, an aerobics instructor, and a San Diego Chargers cheerleader.

Charisma enjoys ballet, horseback riding, Rollerblading, hiking, rock-climbing, and has even been known to skydive from time to time. In a recent article in Stuff Magazine, Charisma describes herself as "…the kind of girl who loves drinking beer and rocking out to The Doors." Charisma currently lives in her two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles. She's settled into a very steady relationship with fellow actor Damian Hardy whom she met at acting class

Alexis Denisof
"Wesley Wyndham-Pryce"

Alexis spent the majority of his childhood with his mother in Seattle and then attended boarding school in New Hampshire. After high school graduation, Denisof was off to Europe where he ended up in London training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.

Much like fellow "Angel" actor, Glenn Quinn, Alexis began his career with a part in a music video. He took a part in George Harrison's video "Got My Mind Set On You" in hopes of meeting the legendary musician but never did end up seeing him. Alexis spent 15 years in the U.K. before returning to the United States to further pursue his acting career. Despite his talent, he was best known through the tabloids in the U.K. for having dated actress Caroline Aherne.

Upon his arrival in the U.S. Alexis worked on a pilot that didn't get picked up before landing roles on BTVS and Angel. His other TV projects include the TV miniseries "Noah's Ark" and an appearance on "Highlander." Alexis' character Wesley was originally written to be killed off within two episodes but as he often does, creator Joss Whedon changed his mind.

Alexis latest project is "Beyond City Limits" with fellow BTVS co-star Alyson Hannigan.

GLENN QUINN
"Alan Francis Doyle"

After guest starring in TV shows such as "Bagdad Café" and "Beverly Hills 90210," Glenn, a native of Dublin, Ireland, landed a major role in the 1991 John Travolta flick "Shout." Glenn shared an on-screen kiss with another rising star, Gwyneth Paltrow. Glenn was also co-starring in one of the most popular sitcoms on TV, "Roseanne," playing Becky's hapless husband. In 1992, Glenn took the part of Cedric Grey in the historic fantasy TV series "Covington Cross" which filmed in England.

It wasn't until he took the role of Doyle in "Angel" that Glenn's hunk status really hit. Perhaps it was because it was the first time that the Irish-born actor was able to use his native brogue in a role, that garnered the fans or perhaps it was just the loveable role of Doyle itself. Despite the two-and-one-half-hours in the makeup chair each evening, Glenn continued to have fun with the role until his character was written off in the ninth episode of season one.

Glenn's latest project is a VH1 original movie called "At Any Cost." He's plays Ben, a manager of a small band that is made up of childhood friends.

He plays the drums and the guitar and is part owner of "Goldfingers," a Los Angeles nightclub which has a 007 motif.

J.August Richards
"Charles Gunn"

J. August Richards was introduced on Angel last season playing a street-savvy vampire slayer and joins the cast this fall as a series regular.

The first American-born child in his Panamanian family, Richards was raised in Maryland in a bilingual household. Discovering his love for acting early, he enrolled in a performing arts high school and begun appearing in several plays a year. Academically confident and determined to move out to Los Angeles to pursue his acting aspirations, Richards applied to only one college. Not only was he accepted into the University of Southern California, but won numerous scholarships and grants to study theater.

Upon graduation, Richards began working steadily in film, television and theater. Playing a rapping bike messenger who believes himself to be an alien abductee, it was the role of Taj Mahal in the Mark Taper Forum's production of Space that would bring true recognition and rave reviews to the young actor.

On the big screen, Richards has appeared in the feature films Why Do Fools Fall in Love? and Good Burger. His previous television work includes guest-starring roles on The Practice, Chicago Hope and Any Day Now, and roles in the television movies The Temptations and Mutiny.

In his free time, Richards enjoys painting and has developed an interest in astronomy since working on Space. He has traveled throughout the United States while on tour and enjoys visiting his parents' native country of Panama as well as other regions of Central America.
