Sarah Michelle Gellar on Manifesting Her Dexter: Original Sin Role and Her Investigation Skills

[@opticalmixing23]

Her responses are so energetic and confident. It's amazing how much energy this person has in her voice!

[@mika.mercury]

Love Sarah!!!! Brilliant actress. Little known fact- she comes onto set with her lines memorized and rehearsed each and every time. Shes old school hollywood professional.

[@Dropla]

did you know she's got kids older than Seths kids too? Wild.

[@kathyannk]

It’s weird that being prepared is considered exceptional. What a sad reflection on the industry.

[@jeffdroog]

I am also surprised that woman can do a job lol

[@laurenl.6291]

@@jeffdroog That's funny.

[@codyroulo1958]

Or America

[@MartianDropkick]

Damn, she's still looking so good, and seems so happy, thats fantastic

[@teamidris]

Isn’t she though :D I guess we get so much bad news we are amazed when someone makes it ^-^

[@Adam.Langton]

Yup, Buffy could totally get staked. Lol

[@Clyde57390]

What ? She looks tired, ill and too slim

[@KeepinItReal1313]

⁠@@Clyde57390too slim? Americans have normalized being overweight to the point that people that are a normal weight are now “too slim”

[@ryanbtalkstv]

I manifested meeting Sarah Michelle Gellar in two weeks! After doing content about Buffy on Tik Tok for about two years, (in a live) I told my followers that I wanted to meet Sarah Michelle Gellar. I started visualizing it and telling people it would happen. And BOOM the next week Paramount asked me to come to LA for event for her show Wolf Pack! I got to talk with her for about 15 mins at the after party. She was amazing, thoughtful and really fun to talk to! As a fan of Buffy since it first aired, SMG more than exceeded my expectations on meeting her. She was everything!

[@PZCherokee]

Beautiful! Did she say anything that really stood out for you? ❤

[@jll.vlntn01]

Love this!

[@palm33]

Aww I love this ❤ she does seem like a really genuine and positive person

[@bigseanprice]

The show was meh but the movie was so good! Pee Wee was in it!

[@dajo8723]

​@bigseanprice the movie was absolutely dreadful, and the show was one of the best TV shows ever

[@andrewj1754]

Fun fact - Julie Benz, who featured in original Dexter for so long, was one of Buffy’s original antagonists from the pilot and all season 1.

[@KeithShelley1]

More than that, Julie Benz tried out for the Buffy role. Although she wasn't right for it, they liked her so much they wrote a character for her. Darla is the first recurring character we see in the show.

[@EvanRockwell1]

​​@@KeithShelley1Well, technically she's the very first character we see in the very first episode lol

[@jugurthasyphax6341]

She was killed off early in Season 1 though. Fortunately they brought her back in Angel and in several flashbacks on Buffy. The flashbacks with Angel, Darla, Dru and Spike were one of the best parts of both shows.

[@FunHomAmbo]

Sarah Goldberg, who played Sally Reed in Barry, looked so much like Julie Benz in that role I thought to myself that they had to be related. Nope, not from what i’ve been able to find Googling.

[@phoenixgirl70]

Darla! Cool connection! I loved Sarah’s show called Ringer, where she played identical twins. It was a great murder mystery and she just played both parts so well! Her and her husband are never in any drama. Buffy is my favorite show ever. It’s about real life situations many times and they did them realistically. The actors they had were excellent. It’s got great story lines, action, comedy, drama, and you can really relate in the most fun way imaginable. Darn, I was hoping they switched it and she was playing the Dexter charachter.

[@Sikanda.]

I've been a fan of SMG for almost three decades. I'm so happy to see her back on acting!! Such a brilliant woman.

[@barryberkmanblock]

She is just so effortlessly charming and funny, I love this interview so much!

[@silverXnoise]

She’s clearly very smart, and quick witted too!

[@childless-catlady8255]

*I have the box set of BTVS and I'm approaching 70 years old. I LOVE this girl! I'm happy she's got a new acting job. Good for her! I STILL want to see 'Buffy & Spike' getting together again.. wink wink ...*

[@PaulMchugh-b3b]

I never watch celebrities or their interviews but I will sit through anything Sarah does. She's an intelligent, passionate, REAL woman.

[@bossyboots5000]

Ditto, but what does "REAL" woman mean?

[@auldthymer]

Yay! Buffy's back!

[@JavenarchX]

Wishn

[@markbooth6706]

I feel like she was so nervous, but still killed it. Seth brings out the best in people he’s number one in the game.

[@soundpilatesandyoga8531]

She doesn't do talk shows. ❤

[@cwg73160]

Keep feeling that way. We all can’t be right.

[@Minlaroo]

She never seems nervous to me. She's always very confident.

[@bill-cf6nt]

Always thought Sarah was beautiful in appearance and in spirit. Glad to see she's happy and doing well.

[@jjamarey124]

Soooo excited to watch Her being back in the game. She deserves to have more opportunities on TV and films.

[@motherofdemons3146]

I didn't watch Buffy when it aired, I watched it in my early 20s and loved it. So happy to see her in a new project!

[@bossyboots5000]

She also was in a murder-mystery show called Ringer, where she played twins. You may want to check that out

[@Minlaroo]

​@@bossyboots5000 I remember reading about that but I never saw it.

[@bossyboots5000]

@@Minlaroo I only caught a few episodes. I need to look it up again. I think it came out in 2012.

[@Minlaroo]

@@bossyboots5000 I'll look for it. Thanks!

[@anasynodis]

She's such a lovely person. So happy to see her on this show!!

[@lookitzmiikeyy]

Sarah is my childhood. There was always just something about her that did it for me. Always and forever will be my favorite.

[@natalyacoletti6423]

Cruel Intentions with her was one of my faves in high school, just watched it with my teenage daughter, Sarah is a classic 😘😘😘😘

[@ironman4do]

The new series is honestly pretty good. I feel like it captured the vibe & feel of the original very well. Yous should check it out.

[@xcwarrior]

Telling someone who was around demons, death and blood for 7 years on a show to act shocked at the sight of dead bodies is a bold request.

[@midnightcryptworx]

Yes but to be fair there wasn't much blood on buffy lol

[@allyoucanhorror262]

And in 3 iconic horror movies and is an official Scream Queen 😂 it’s so normal for her

[@himynameistawny]

She’s so hilarious! I love seeing her again.

[@theonlyteddybare]

That top is like something she wore in the 90s. Love it.

[@Dobi714]

Always been a fan, she is just great in an interview. All these years later, two kids later, and just damn she could still be buffy no problem. Really liked the show she did with Robin Williams before he passed, sad he left us and that it took the show with him. Hope this new show gives her all the accolades and brings her back to the forefront for people to put in her new projects.

[@RelicMode]

Wow, she's still as stunning as ever.

[@Sabrina_mccafferty]

I have been a huge fan of hers since Buffy the Vampire Slayer originally aired back in the day! ❤ I really wanted to meet her when I was younger, still would love to! 😄 So happy to see her back acting again!!

[@lawrencemills354]

She looks amazing and is clearly really intelligent. Hell yea girl!

[@bymilliebphotography8249]

loved this interview. She's so bitingly funny and smart. She looks great and I can't wait to watch the show!!!

[@neoanderson7]

Great to see Sarah back doing gigs. Definitely watching the new Dexter. 👏🏻 You see, this is another major reason why not having social media accounts is in your benefit. No forensic people trying to look into your life.. 😎

[@lashendawest7509]

We love sarah Michelle gellar

[@lauravalle3766]

She has great comedic timing. Loved the interview!

[@Julie1019]

My goodness is she delightful and seems incredibly down to earth.

[@arc7375]

Julie Benz, and now SMG! I wonder if there was a reunion between the two on this prequel. Darla and Buffy on screen together after nearly thirty years would be surreal.

[@DiegoVieira-lg9ff]

She always had flawless blonde hair and I can't wait to see the new I Know What You Did Last Summer

[@herobreaker9011]

she's a gem! You know when people say "they haven't aged a bit"? Well she has definitely aged -- but in a great way. She's still smokin' hot!!

[@medusaslair]

I'm so excited for her to be on Dexter, she's awesome.

[@Shellib19]

Imagine not knowing your mom is a cultural icon! I work at UCLA and regularly get frustrated with the kids for not knowing they actually go to UC Sunnydale. Not me walking around campus the whole first week, getting excited bc I recognized stuff.

[@Sileonex123]

She looks remarkably like I remember her looking 25 years ago...beautiful

[@bikyamasriyya]

it is a lot of botox though her forehead doesnt move

[@bossyboots5000]

I said the same thing - 25 at most when I think she's in her late 40s/early 50s? Like what the how? Botox alone doesn't make someone's face flawless, natural-looking, and glowing. She looks like she has not aged at all.

[@warrenman1919]

So glad Sarah is back on television. Dexter will be great

[@Cypresssina]

I never watch the interviews but it's SMG! Had to watch. She is just as delightful as ever.

[@justinraysantiago287]

She’s a Hollywood icon ❤❤❤

[@tuckerbowen4626]

always good to see her getting work again 🥰

[@matthewplampton955]

Their mum played one the coolest fiercest characters in TV history. No way they aren't impressed by her.

About time she was on another hit show Love sarah

[@Myron90]

She was one of my first tv crushes back in the 90s

[@CarnivoreDan]

A dexter prequel with Sarah, damn I have to watch this! A serial killer of vampires teaches a serial killer of "bad" guys.

[@vaw796]

Slayer.

[@brenb7153]

I’ve always really liked her, I think she seems like she has such a good sense of humor and is down to earth in real life too. She’s a great actress.

[@lovelywaz]

Buffy, still slaying some demons.... In my heart! 😍😍🥰🥰

[@JordiVanderwaal]

Seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar back on TV (or streaming platforms) is always great. Btw the new actor playing young Dexter is HOT, including the voice (which is what made original Dexter so captivating).

[@vampyre017]

I never met her but i bet she is very nice and positive in person. Hugs for our Sarah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TammiQuattro]

I love that’s she’s back on telly and she has indeed aged magnificently. She looks stunning and she’s brilliant. Having said that…I do have to admit that it sometimes hurts in a bitter sweet way….Seeing SMG getting older, further away from my childhood hero Buffy.

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

Can't wait for the new Dexter series. She was good as Daphne Blake well. Freddie Prinze is lucky to have her in his life.

[@bossyboots5000]

Always great to see Sarah Michelle Gellar. I know that she's done many things, but her 7 years as Buffy had a profound impact on girls and women. Also, how the hell does she still look 25 at most? And look so natural and glowing? What demon did she make a bargain with? (And can I have their number?)

[@stanthechanman]

SMG should have her own talk show.

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

I'd watch her and Freddie on a morning talk show, like Kelly Ripa and Mark (except I don't watch them lol) They seem like they have fun together

[@kolbeq165]

Absolutely love Sarah. She is an amazing actress. Can’t wait to see you in your new project. Whatever happened to the cruel intentions TV series

[@dederahman6806]

One of my fav actresses always exciting to see her movie

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

I think what I like most about Sarah is the wonderful marriage and family she has with Freddie.

[@decide2think]

Seth, Missed opportunity to refer to Sarah (Buffy) as the most well-known “Vampire Serial Killer”!

[@raymondm.9954]

Or pointing out that, in "Buffy," the dead bodies disappeared in a puff of dust.

[@sirspate]

Given what's come out about Joss since then, it doesn't seem like a bad choice to elide that part of her repertoire.

[@bossyboots5000]

​@@sirspateagreed. That's a delicate nuanced issue

[@johndelper1404]

Searched for Dexter on my cable menu (Friday) Dexter original sin with episodes 1, 2 & 3 were on the menu, I watched episode 1 it was v.good, 2 & 3 aren't loaded up yet.

[@Jay-sn2be]

Love Sarah!

[@cannibalbananas]

If it makes you feel better Sarah. about your kids being older, you are younger than Seth. And there are people with kids older than yours. I'm a little younger than Sarah Michelle, but my only turns 20 tomorrow. Also, super stoked to see Sarah acting again. It's been a bit since I've seen her in anything.
