he was accidentally got discovered too... I believed they already cast another actor for Angel but Joss or a casting director said that actor wasnt working out. One of the neighbors of David saw him walking his dog on regular basis because of that, that neighbor suggested him to the show's producers or whatever. Then he got the role! Thanks to that neighbor who brought this man to us!

Oh man that's why I came here, I hoped they'd mentioned him. Andy Hallett is the the most amazing showman, hilarious soul, I know he's kicking people's asses making them laugh so hard somewhere in afterlife. Anyone who reads this, please look up "Andy Hallett at Slayerfest July 2nd 2005". He tells some stories from his life, sings a little bit in the start, just has a wonderful time it seems forgetting to answer questions and going off on tangential stories. You'll love it.

Andy Hallett was such a darling man. I went to a con where the organizers were just shamelessly milking the convention goers as hard as they could, selling more tickets for more signings with the castmember guests. I overheard Andy's manager saying something to him like 'you don't HAVE to stay' and he said "they came all this way to see me and get to speak to me and get my autograph, so I'll stay as long as it takes." I didn't stop him to tell him I'd overheard (because I didn't wanna out myself as a big ol' eavesdropper) when I saw him in the lobby later that day, but I just gave him a big smile as I was on my way out. He was a really nice guy.

Angel was everything to me when I was a teenager. I had depression for a number of years and I lost myself in its universe. It was my greatest passion and the best distraction from a life I barely wanted. I'm in the middle of rewatching all of Buffy and Angel for the first time in a decade. When I listened to the Angel theme song I just broke down. So much of my past is wrapped up in this show and I forgot just how much it meant. I'm loving the show all over again and it's incredible to see how far I've come since I loved it last.

[@Nopperabou]

So understand how you feel Went through the same thing as a teenager; expect as much as I loved angel it wasn't what gave me solace, It was Ridge Racer Type 4. Whenever I watch the opening movie to that game I get emotional cause its not a stretch to say that its a big part of why I'm still alive. I was a God o those streets a multi time Grand Prix Champion and that helped keep me from killing myself.

Cordelia really kept Angel mostly Honest I thought, and Charisma was perfect as that character in both shows. I still think she's a hugely underrated actress and one of the most Beautiful.

[@keelahrose]

And the way Joss treated her was honestly horrible. He was so lucky to have made all his shows before social media became what it is now, or he'd never have had the chance to direct any Avengers movies or become the multi-millionaire he is now. He'd've been cancelled way back when Buffy was on the air, and none of his other shows would have been made. It's very telling that he did not show up for this reunion. I bet anything that multiple cast members said they wouldn't go if he was involved. They all know the truth about how he treated actresses on his sets. His wife exposed him, Charisma exposed him, Michelle exposed him. And where is he now? He hasn't made a single public appearance or even released a statement since all this became public. No defense, and no apology. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if his career is completely over at this point!

[@DaddySatoruGojo]

I agree

[@Jongen.]

She was good in Buffy and the first seasons in Angel, but in seasons 4 something changed for some reason. I think her acting was a little worse. Could have been the writing or montage, but the scenes where she is in the sky and being purple looked so cringe.

***I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS*** It was always more than a series. Angel stood for something.

[@RubyDynamite]

Honestly, Angel was always my favorite of the two series, even if ATS was a spin-off - BTVS always had this black-and-white worldview that was basically shown to be very convenient propaganda for the Watchers (ie. vampires aren't your friend, they're the thing that killed your friend and is now wearing your friend as a suit, essentially - even though we saw with *several* vampires that that wasn't at all the case, including Harmony, Spike and Angel himself). ATS, on the other hand, did have a much darker feel, but it *always* felt truer to real life than BTVS did because of that, because they dared to establish very human emotions and motivations amidst some crazy supernatural bullshit and managed to have most of it make sense and was a blast to watch! It's challenging to have *one* character go through a really gut-wrenching crisis of conscience in a series, but ATS has *dozens* of storylines like that, all going at once throughout the seasons. Damn, I have to go re-watch the whole thing now!

[@Tokerz0]

I love Cordy, and her development. I still hate what they did to her character. The last season was not the same without her. Her absence was just heavily felt through the entirety of it. Also Charisma always did fantastic at doing the vision pain. I liked that both David and Alexis said it was cool.

[@whedsley]

Those three actors were the show. Season 5 was like Angel for dummies.

[@Tokerz0]

Pablo81 LOL Yes Angel, Cordy, and Wes were my favorite trio. I actually prefer the early seasons because of them, before the group expands. I love that Cordy only had scenes with Angel, and Wes in her last episode as a call back to simpler times. But yeah season 5 just looked like a bad reinvention to a once good show. I find it hard to believe the only reason they got canceled was because Joss asked for a early renewal.

[@whedsley]

@@Tokerz0 I´m still so angry that some people overpraise Spike´s role in this show and his ¨chemistry¨ and relationship with Angel are so basic in comparison to what the trio went through. I also never bought Angel´s friendship with either Fred or Gunn.

[@Tokerz0]

Pablo81 Completely agree. I mean I like Spike and all, but to bring him in just to replace Cordy was just a waste of his character. They literally did nothing with him. Also ruined his big sacrifice in Buffy. I liked Fred, she was sweet. But really underdeveloped and was practically someone’s love interest the entirety of her arc. I never liked Gunn. He just brought way to much testosterone to the team, and just really complained half the time, also tried to hard to be Alpha. Angel, Cordy, and Wes all had history together which made them click so well. I cherish season 1 and half of 2 because their dynamic is just so amazing. Once the group expands they just had less and less scenes together, as the trio that started it all.

As far as I'm concerned it was the Wesley Show. His character arc was long, wide, and deep. His death was a mistake, in my opinion, he was more intelligent, insightful than the others; the whole thing pivoted on his character. He also had one of the most intriguing relationships on TV; not just the one with Lilah (in itself worth the price of the boxed set) but also Illyria, who was actually a male demon, who fell in love with Wesley, lol.

The BEST moments in 'Angel': The riff between Angel & Wesley, after Wesley took Angel's son, was some *good* acting... When Angel tricked his team into thinking he had gone 'bad' so he can keep an eye on Darla... Darla sacrificing herself to give birth to her son... Watching Cordelia & Wesley 'grow' into different & stronger people... Watching Cordelia say goodbye to Angel for the last time.... Seeing Winifred say goodbye to 'her boys' as she died, then resurrect as Illyria [she played that role!] ...and there are other moments but I can't remember.

As much as I love "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," I admit that I love "Angel," even more. I enjoy the character development that Angel, Cordelia, Wesley and Fred experience. Especially Cordelia and Wesley's character arcs. When Wesley was introduced to "Angel," I admit that I wasn't exactly thrilled because I remembered him as the annoying, pompous, wimpy twit on "Buffy." Boy, am I glad I continued to watch the series. Not only that, but Wesley became my favorite character on "Angel." As much as I love "Angel," I absolutely despise the way Charisma Carpenter (and her character, Cordelia) was treated by Joss Whedon and the writers. Both the actress and the character deserved *so* much better.

[@fallinginaforrest]

i get so much hate when i say i prefer Angel to Buffy, but to be honest, i just have such a larger connection to the characters in angel. The characters in Buffy are phenomenal, for sure, but angel just itches a scratch that Buffy doesn't. Fred and Angel are just my absolute favourite Buffyverse characters. And i agree that the way charisma was treated is simply abhorrent. it's really sad to say that there isn't anything we can do about that except work to make the acting industry less of a patriarchal hierarchy and make it a better place for everyone.

[@keelahrose]

You guys are 100% right and I've been saying this same thing for years. Angel was lightyears beyond Buffy due to the greater complexity of its storylines, its morally grey characters, and it's unflinching adult themes. Buffy was great, but at the end of the day it was a show about growing up and dealing with high school. Its post high school seasons are a lot sharper and stronger, but Angel hit the ground running and accomplished a lot more in 5 seasons than Buffy did in 7. That said, the Buffy comics for Season 8 and beyond were a lot better than the Angel: After the Fall ones.

[@thee_morpheus]

Angel WAS a much better show

[@cyberneticorganismskynet]

Tough call ...mayb we grow frm buff into ang

[@DeathBYDesign666]

That's because Angel did what no other series before it ever tried to do, it had one long overreaching plot that lasted 5 seasons. They had one strong antagonist being Wolfram and Heart throughout the entire series and they pulled it off brilliantly in my opinion, though the last episode was a bit rushed in all honesty. Oh man I had (and still have) the biggest crush on Charisthma and thought her character grew so much by the end, it's a shame how they did her dirty like that. She deserved so much more respect than she got, she's such a sweet and beautiful person from all the things I've heard about her. I was really sad to see her off the show without giving her a proper send-off. They even killed Fred but she still got her send-off and Amy still got to stick around. Cordillia gets one episode where she doesn't even do anything but tag along really, all for the point of getting that kiss with Angel in the end. It turned out important to the plot in the end but still she deserved more than that. She was more than just a useless side kick, she was one of if not the most powerful characters in the entire series, but that's all they gave her for her last episode. What a waste!

2Good2BeTrue45 I respect your opinion but I have to disagree. Doyle was a very weak character. Perhaps it was because of the real life situation that was going on but the character had no development possibilities. I felt he was the weak link. I have to also disagree with the value of Wesley’s development to the series. Angel ( and Buffy) are strong characters but their story arc is written into the premise. “ The vampire with a soul” and “into every generation a slayer is born....” It is the secondary characters that made them great. Did you notice how Kate wasn’t even acknowledged in the interview. That was because she brought nothing to the show except to make it a run of the mill procedural. Wesley’s character was vitality important to the uniqueness of Angel. Cordy should have been but the writers ruined her. What would Buffy be without Willow, Xander, and Giles? Those developed nuanced characters made the shows cult classics. But that’s just my opinion. 😎
