Mini Biography:
       
While relatively new to the world of acting, David Boreanaz has catapulted to stardom with his quiet intensity as the mysterious and tortured Angel on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". A native of Philadelphia, David was exposed to television at a young age - his father is a veteran weather forecaster for WPVI in Philadelphia. Since seeing the inspiring performance of Yul Brynner in "The King and I" at the young age of seven, David had a feeling that acting would be in his future. After graduating from Ithaca College, he moved to Los Angeles to try his luck in Hollywood. While studying the craft of acting, David lived the life of a starving actor, doing jobs parking cars, painting houses and handing out towels at a sports club. It was while walking his dog in a Hollywood neighborhood that a manager spotted his brooding intense look and instantly signed him as a client. His first big break was a guest shot on "Married...Whit Children" playing Kelly Bundy's (Christina Applegate) biker boyfriend. He has also appeared in the television movie "Men Don't Lie". 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". His breakthrough role from television to the big screen came in 2001 with the horror movie Valentine (2001). Currently David lives in Los Angeles with his dog, Bertha Blue.

Personal Quote:
[talking about his character in "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer"]: "Everytime I did an episode, there was something new to Angel. The character grew on me and it's been a great experience so far.I take the character for what he is and I think every day there's something new and exciting about him that I learn with every script. Within each episode, I learn something different about the character. Yes, he has a tortured soul and he has a guilty conscience.But at the same time, he's trying to rebuild that and make amends, for his own true sanity, to make himself become a better person. And I think we'll see that happen slowly but surely. In the beginning, he sure is going to feel a lot pain, and he'll be suffering. But it will be humorous pain."
