David Boreanaz is an actor of many talents. One talent that he lacks, however, is the ability to do a convincing Irish accent. Fans and critics alike have definitely poked fun at his attempts over the years. While the Irish accent only appears in very brief instances over the course of the series, it was notably missing in the season four episode “...
Charisma Carpenter and Joss Whedon reportedly had some bad blood. According to Complex, the feud began when Carpenter didn't tell the creatives about her pregnancy until the last minute in season four. This caused a frantic scramble to fix the season four story arc in order to accommodate her. In turn, the haphazard story arc led to a decline in ra...

Not only was Glau’s role as the Ballerina her first acting job, it w...
Following the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon returned to Angel full time for its fifth and final season. While it’s a move that makes sense to fans, it was also a caveat by the WB network for the show to be renewed for the fifth season. Angel was a show that was constantly on the verge of being cancelled by the struggling network. It ...
Christian Kane’s role as Wolfram and Hart lawyer Lindsey McDonald is considered by many to be his break-out role. Over the course of five seasons, the character went from being a reluctant ally to a legitimate threat to Angel Investigations. It’s hard to imagine the show without Kane’s subtle menace, but similarly to Felicia Day, it almost didn't h...
