Biography

No one does deep, dark and dangerous quite like David Boreanaz - and no one has ever made the "undead" so appealing. So where did this hottie come from? No, not Sunnydale - Philidelphia, actually.

The 6'1" David Boreanaz was born in Philly and has always had TV in his blood - his dad is a local weatherman. When David was only seven, he saw Yul Brynner perform in The King and I and thought acting was cool. After graduating from college in Ithaca, New York, he moved to Hollywood and did the starving acting thing. One day, on a break from his jobs of parking cars and giving out towels at a gym, David Boreanaz was walking his dog, Bertha Blue, and a manager noticed him. The manager signed him instantly. David Boreanaz's first TV gig was as a

biker boyfriend of Kelly's on the show Married... With Children. Turns out the manager wasn't the only one who was instantly into David. Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer signed David Boreanaz minutes after he audtioned - and had him shooting the show the very next day.

David Boreanaz's role as Angel, the tortured soulful vampire, has been something the fans have really sunk their teeth into. The character was so successful he even got his own show - co-starring Charisma Carpenter and Alexis Denisof (Cordelia and Wesley.) In 2001, David Boreanaz had his first staring role in a flick called Valentine. It's a horror movie. You'd think that a guy who plays a Vampire and stars in horror movies wouldn't be afraid of a thing, but David Boreanaz does have some fears. He's not fond of heights... or chickens. David Boreanaz told Entertainment Weekly "I'm afraid of live chickens. Birds. Because they're very clucky and full of feathers. They're just a little too jerky for me."
