6) Elizabeth Anne Allen (Amy) celebrated her 19th birthday in style. It was on the set of the Season Three episode "Gingerbread", while filming her character being burned on a pyre. "When they lit me uthey yelled 'Fire in the hole' and everybody started singing 'Happy Birthday'". Despite Amy turning int TV's most famous rodent since Roland Rat shortly after this, the actress is allergic to one of their favourite food - cheese.
7) Of all the guest musicians to have played the Bronze, only one was ever given any dialogue. Aimee Mann gets the immortal line: "Man, I hate playing vampire towns" as she exits the stage in the episode "Sleeper".
8) In "The Dark Age", Xander discovers a picture of a youthful Giles with leather jacket and bass guitar. Sadly, Anthony Head's own photo album didn't contain anything suitable, so the Buffy production crew faked the photo by superinposing his head onto the body of Sex Pistol's bassist, Sid Vicious. Vicious has been citd by many as the primary influence on the character Spike, although fellow punk and bleached-blond Billy Idol was also a major visual influence.
9) Five actresses (not counting stunt doubles) have played the character of Buffy dring the course of the TV show. Aside from Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mimi Paley played young Buffy in "Killed by Death". Mimi also played Mulder's sister, Samantha, in the X-Files. Clandice Nicole played her briefly in "Blood Ties" as Dawn 'remembers' her fake past. Alexandra Lee played young Buffy in "The Weight of the World" and her photo is used in all subsequent photos of the character as a child. Finally Eliza Dushku plays a body-swapped Buffy in "Who are You?". On a side note, Gisellen Loren took over the role for the two Buffy videogames, and was going to voice her in the aborted Buffy Animated series. An uncredited actress was also used to stand in for her in the Angel episodes "Soul Purpose" and "The Girl in Question", and lets not foget Kristy Swanson in the original film......
10) Nicholas Brendon's real name is actually Nicolas Brandon Schultz. Professionally, he uses his middle name. Likewise, his brother is really Kelly Donovan Schultz, rather than Kelly Donovan. Anthony Stewart Head only calls himself that in America because there is already an actor called Anthony Head working there. Tony is credited as Anthony Head for all his UK work. Eliza Dushku's middle name is Patricia. Ms Calendar's name was originally Nicki, but was changed to Jenny to avoid on-set confusion with 'Nicky' Brendon.
Cannot Sleep so I thought I would post more of these.
