OK, so perhaps it’s a bit soon for a "Where Are They Now?" piece on Nicholas Brendon. The series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired only last May. Still, we miss our Scooby gang, especially the 32-year-old actor who played goofy good guy Xander Harris. So what’s he up to? He just wrapped filming ABC Family’s TV-movie, Celeste in the City, which debuts in March. Now, he’s poundin’ the pavement, seeking work like most thesps in Los Angeles. Here, TV Guide Online finds out his future plans - and takes a look back at Xander’s past antics.
TV Guide Online: Alyson Hannigan has a sitcom coming up. Why not you? Brendon: That’s what I really want to do. I want a sitcom! I’m tryin’! I’ve been taking meetings, just trying to figure out what to do. I did do a sitcom pilot for Fox with Ron Levin - the creator of Married with Children - called The Pool at Maddy Breakers. It didn’t get picked up. But good for Alyson. I should call her!
TVGO: How pissed were you that, in Buffy’s last season, you were turned into an under-five [minutes of screen time], while a bunch of Slayerettes we’d never seen before hogged all the air time? Brendon: I was kind of unappreciated, but my wife, Tressa, talked me through it. She said, "It’s not quantity, it’s quality." And I had a lot of great scenes. After seven years, I think [creator Joss Whedon] pretty much said my character was kinda played out a little bit. So they brought in a bunch of people.
TVGO: Played out? That’s whack. Xander always seemed to have interesting stuff to do. Brendon: He was a great character because he was the only one who didn’t have powers. Which is why I lost my eye. [He quotes Nathan Fillion, who played the evil priest, Caleb.] "Oh, you’re the one who sees everything. Let’s see what we can’t do about that."
TVGO: Ugh! That was a gory scene, when Caleb poked your eye out! Brendon: If we do the Buffy film, I’m gonna be wearing an eye patch. Let’s not have Willow just fix it [with magic]. Let’s do the patch.
TVGO: Did that hurt? Brendon: Nathan just had a prosthetic thumb, with a wire running up his arm [to make it retract]. But the fake blood got in my eye. It was a fructose-based liquid. It felt kind of like soap! I had to do an eyewash.
TVGO: You mentioned a movie. Will Buffy hit the big screen? Brendon: We’ve talked about it. I’m sure if it happens, it’d be in a couple of years.
TVGO: So nobody’s actually signed on the dotted line to do it yet? Brendon: No, no, no. Joss just always wanted to make the movie. We’ve only been off the air seven months, so we’re just trying to catch our breath.
TVGO: Do you think Buffy bungled the long-simmering Xander/Willow romance by pretending Willow didn’t really love him all those years? They had her in love with Oz, then made her Tara’s girlfriend. Brendon: That’s a question for the writers. I don’t want to p--- anybody off. [Laughs] Too bad they never brought it up again after Season 3. I would love to have made out with Tara and Willow.
TVGO: Wait a sec. You’re not disappointed you lost out on Willow. You just want the straight guy’s fantasy of romancing two lesbians?! Brendon: Yeah, gimme a shot! Let’s have a little threesome.
TVGO: Oh my! Anyway, has it been hard to move on since Buffy wrapped? Brendon: It was my first job, so it was very emotional for me. But you get over it, and I still see and talk to all my buds.
En gros, il parle du film, il dit qu'il se sentait moin apprecié durant la saison 7 vu que son personnage avait moin de 5 minutes à l'écran par épisode et que sa femme l'a consolé en lui disant que ses scenes étaient de bonne qualités et que c'est la qualité et pas la quantité qui comptent...
Personellement j'ai pas du tout aimé comment ils ont traités les personnages de Giles et Xander dans la saison 7. Surtout Xander. Les potentielles ont pris trop de place...
