I liked Buffy back in the day - I know Nicholas Brendon had a lot of issues after the show ended - very sad news

He was a guest star on Criminal Minds for a season or two, playing a love interest to one of the characters. We were filming a scene where Joe Mantegna goes to her house and he answers the door. One of the takes he had stripped down completely naked except for a sock over his junk. Joe doubled over in laughter.

Of course that would get you fired these days...

Very sad news. Loved his character on Buffy. Maybe it’s time for a Buffy rewatch. It’s been a while.

Side note: I saw Hulu decided not to move forward with the Buffy reboot which is disappointing. Apparently they were pretty far along in the planning of it. They did say that Disney may still do something with it

The pilot was completely filmed; I did the computer/ phone graphics for it. I actually liked the script and the new young lead was a standout on Star Wars Skeleton Crew so i had high hopes there. I thought it did a good job of setting up a new big bad (ot at least a perceived new bad) and put the pieces in motion for a new friend group to coalesce. Buffy was barely in it - I mean literally in the filmed version she was only in the last scene. I think it was pretty clear they were setting her up for a more superpowered Giles role. I didn't see any of what was filmed though, so it could have all been a disaster, but I think the script was a solid foundation.

I get the sense the studio wanted more of "hey guys, remember Buffy? Well she's back and all her friends are here!"

Oh man, that sucks. I had hoped that he was getting into a better and healthier place after he had a heart attack a few years ago. With Michelle Trachtenberg's passing a while back that's two Scoobies gone
