David Boreanaz(pronounced /bɔːriˈnəz/,Italian:a[boɾeˈaːnad͡z]; born May 16, 1969) is an American actor, television producer, and director, known for his role as Angel on the supernatural drama seriesBuffy the Vampire SlayerandAngel, and as Special Agent Seeley Booth on the television crime dramaBones.

Early life David Boreanaz was born on May 16, 1969 in Buffalo, New York, where his father, Dave Roberts (nb Boreanaz), was working as a weather forecaster and children's show host as Dave Thomas, for ABC affiliate WKBW-TV, and [1] his mother, Patti Boreanaz, was a travel agent. He is of Italian descent on his father's side (the surname Boreanaz is [2][3][4] of Northern Italian origin). His mother is of half Slovak and part Irish, German, French, and Swiss [5][6] descent. When Boreanaz was nine years old, the family moved to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area after his father took a job at WPVI-TV, the ABC affiliate in Philadelphia. Boreanaz attended Rosemont School of the Holy Child in his early years and then high school at Malvern Preparatory School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and went to college at [7] Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York.

Career David Boreanaz's first paid acting appearance was a 1993 guest spot on the American sitcom,Married... with [8] Children, as Kelly's two-timing biker boyfriend, who gets pummeled by her father, Al. He was cast in the television seriesBuffy the Vampire Slayer, after being suggested for the role to Marti Noxon by one of Boreanaz's [9] neighbors, after walking his dog past their house. In the cult series, he played the mysterious Angel, a vampire cursed with a soul as punishment for his past sins. The show became enormously successful and Boreanaz starred in a spin-off series,Angel, which gave the character a chance to evolve and concentrated on Angel's battle for redemption for the sins he committed before he regained his soul. He appeared onBuffyfrom 1997 to 1999, at which point he began starring inAngel, which ran until 2004, with some guest appearances onBuffyafter his departure. Boreanaz's only starring role in a major theatrical film was in 2001's slasher horror film,Valentine, alongside Denise Richards and Katherine Heigl. In 2002, he had a supporting role in a Lifetime television movie titledI'm with Lucy.

In 2003, he appeared in the music video for singer Dido's hit single "White Flag", and was the voice of Leon (Squall Leonhart) in the video gameKingdom Hearts, but he did not reprise his role in the sequel. In 2005, Boreanaz began starring opposite Emily Deschanel on the current prime time television series,Bones. He also appeared inThese Girls, a Canadian film in which he played a biker; the film received a limited theatrical release in Canada in March 2006, after premiering at the Toronto Film Festival and the Vancouver International Film Festival. He has also starred in the independent filmsMr. Fix ItandSuffering Man's Charity(released on DVD asGhost Writer), as well as the direct-to-DVD sequelThe Crow: Wicked Prayerin which he starred alongside Tara Reid. In 2006, he starred in another DVD release,The Hard Easy, which also starred Nick Lachey. In that same year, he also voiced Hal Jordan in the direct to video DC Comics animated featureJustice League: The New Frontier. In the season three finale of his TV seriesBones, Boreanaz's character Seeley Booth is seen in his bathtub reading an issue of Green Lantern, the character he voiced in that feature. As well as being a producer onBonessince its third season, Boreanaz also directed a number of episodes, including "The Bones That Foam," "The Parts in the Sum of the Whole," "The Bullet in the Brain," and "The Blackout in the Blizzard." It has also since been reported by Hart Hanson, the creator ofBones,that Boreanaz has directed and [10] starred in the series' 100th episode airing in the fifth season. BuddyTV ranked him No. 13 on its "TV's 100 [11] [12] Sexiest Men of 2010" list and No. 18 in 2011. [13] Boreanaz will be starring in independently made fantasy dramaOfficer Down.

Personal life

Family

[15] Boreanaz wed actress Jaime Bergman in November, 2001. They have two [16][17] children.

Reconstructive surgery

In 2004, Boreanaz underwent reconstructive surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, a result of a running injury he suffered in high [18] school that was not fully corrected at that time. His recovery did not preventAngelproduction from continuing, but did limit his mobility and physical activities in several episodes, including his directorial debut, "Soul [19][20] Purpose".

Angel(formerlyAngelus, previouslyLiam) is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt for the television programsBuffy the Vampire SlayerandAngel. He is played by actor David Boreanaz. Angel is a 242 year old Irish vampire who is cursed with a soul, a punishment designed to make him suffer for his past crimes committed under the name Angelus, the demonic split personality of Angel. Like many characters in the Buffyverse, Angel goes through drastic changes. He starts out as a reluctant hero who stayed in the shadows, and ended up a dark, flawed, yet altruistic champion of mankind, seeking to voluntarily atone for his sins. In addition to the two television series, the character appears in the comic book continuations of both series. As Angelus, he is the main antagonist in season two.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel's first appearance is in "Welcome to the Hellmouth", the first episode ofBuffy the Vampire Slayerin 1997. In it, he meets the protagonist Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), a young girl destined to fight evil in the small town of Sunnydale. For the first half of the season, Angel is an enigmatic love interest for Buffy, showing up only to offer her cryptic messages about upcoming threats. It isn't until the episode "Angel" that the character is revealed to be a benevolent vampire. Although uneasy about trusting a vampire, Buffy and the Scooby Gang eventually come to view Angel as an ally. In the second season (1997–1998), Buffy and Angel's romantic relationship develops and the pair have sex in the episode "Surprise". For experiencing a moment of pure happiness, however, the gypsy curse on Angel is revoked, unleashing the soulless Angelus, who reunites with his old friends, vampires Spike (James Marsters) and Drusilla (Juliet Landau), and begins terrorizing Buffy and her friends. Upon discovering gypsy descendent Jenny Calendar (Robia LaMorte), who is working to translate the text of a spell to restore Angel's soul, Angelus murders her by breaking her neck, and places her body in the bed of her boyfriend, Giles (Anthony Head), for him to discover. Angelus then attempts to destroy the world by awakening the demon Acathla. In the season finale, neophyte witch Willow (Alyson Hannigan) manages to restore Angel's soul at the last moment, but Buffy is forced to kill him to save the world from Acathla, and Angel is sent to hell. In season three (1998–1999), episode three, "Faith, Hope & Trick", Angel inexplicably returns from hell. The Scooby Gang are outraged when they discover that Buffy has been secretly caring for him since his resurrection, but grudgingly accept him after he saves Willow's life in episode seven, "Revelations". In Season 3 episode 10, "Amends", Giles discovers that Angel was

Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

brought back from Hell by the Harbringers, priests of the First Evil, in an attempt to get him to murder Buffy. When Angel resists, he is told by the First Evil that he "was born to kill her." Angel then decides to kill himself on Christmas morning by letting the sunlight burn him. The First Evil in the form of Jenny Calendar tells him, "That wasn't the plan--but it will do." Buffy finds him and tells him the only way he can make amends for his past sins is to stay alive and do good. His life is saved by the miracle of a snowstorm in the middle of a California heatwave, preventing the sunlight from becoming intense enough to kill him. Angel takes this as a sign and agrees to give up his plan of suicide. Although Buffy and Angel initially try to be nothing more than friends, they eventually resume their romantic, albeit celibate, relationship. However, as Angel becomes more aware of their limitations as a couple, he eventually breaks up with her in the hopes that she will be happier without him. He decides to leave Sunnydale altogether, but not before attending Buffy's prom and helping her in the battle against Mayor Wilkins (Harry Groener).

Angel After his departure fromBuffy, Angel appeared in his own spin-off series, titledAngel. Moving to Los Angeles, he starts a supernatural detective agency called Angel Investigations. He dedicates himself to "helping the hopeless," and becomes a Champion of The Powers That Be, who send him psychic visions through his employees Doyle (Glenn Quinn), and later Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter). In doing so, he frequently clashes with the powerful law firm Wolfram & Hart, who represent the evil of the world. During this season (1999–2000), Buffy and Angel appear in each other's shows (theBuffyepisode "Pangs" and theAngelepisode "I Will Remember You"), but are forced to accept that nothing has changed and they still can't or shouldn't be together. Later in the television season, Buffy crosses over into the episode "Sanctuary" where she attempts to kill rogue Slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku) to whom Angel shows compassion, and Angel appears inBuffy's "The Yoko Factor" where he squares off with Buffy's new boyfriend Riley (Marc Blucas). Angel appears in theBuffyseason five's "Forever", comforting Buffy after her mother's death. In the season one finale, Angel is given some hope at redemption when the Shanshu prophecy reveals that a vampire with a soul may eventually become human after fulfilling his role in the upcoming apocalypse. In season two (2000–2001), Angel discovers that Wolfram & Hart has brought his sire and former lover Darla (Julie Benz) back from the dead in human form. Although Darla is intent on bringing back Angelus, Angel hopes to save her soul and help her seek redemption while she still has a chance. However, just as it looks like he might succeed, Wolfram & Hart bring in Drusilla to turn Darla back into a vampire. Embracing his dark side, Angel fires his employees, Cordelia, Wesley (Alexis Denisof) and Gunn (J. August Richards), and embarks on a vendetta against Wolfram & Hart; Angel allows Darla and Dru to massacre a group of lawyers. Losing faith in his mission, he has sex with Darla in the hopes of losing his soul. Instead, however, he experiences an epiphany and realises that the good fight is still worth fighting. A disgusted Darla flees L.A. and Angel reconciles with his friends, who eventually forgive him. Season three (2001–2002) sees Angel struggle with fatherhood when Darla returns pregnant with his child, despite the fact that vampires are unable to conceive. When Darla kills herself to give birth, Angel is left to raise the baby Connor (played by triplets Connor, Jake and Trenton Tupen) and protect him from those who wish to get their hands on a child of two vampires. False prophecies, time travel, and betrayal lead to Angel losing his infant son to an old enemy, Holtz (Keith Szarabajka), who abducts Connor into a hell dimension where time passes differently. Connor (Vincent Kartheiser) returns days later, fully grown and under the belief that Angel is a soulless monster. Holtz kills himself and Angel is framed for his death by Holtz's lover, prompting Connor to take revenge by sinking his father to the bottom of the ocean. Over the course of this season, Angel's friendship with his colleague Cordelia evolves into romance, but circumstances prevent him from confessing his feelings. InAngel's fourth season (2002–2003), Angel is rescued from the ocean by his former friend Wesley. As Los Angeles crumbles under the apocalypse, Angel is forced to cope with the romantic relationship between his son and Cordelia. In order to find out more about the Beast (Vladimir Kulich) terrorizing L.A., Angel Investigations remove Angel's soul and bring back Angelus. Their plan fails, and Angelus wreaks havoc until an old friend, Willow, manages to return his soul for the second time. It is

eventually revealed that Cordelia is possessed by Jasmine (Gina Torres), a higher power who puts humanity under her thrall in the hopes of achieving world peace. When Angel restores free will and ruins Jasmine's plan, Wolfram & Hart offer him control of their L.A. branch as a reward for putting a stop to world peace. Angel accepts when they agree to rewrite Connor's memories of growing up in hell, allowing him to live a normal life with a new family. Afterwards, Angel appears in the penultimate and final episodes ofBuffy, presenting Buffy with an amulet to help her battle the First Evil. The final season ofAngel(2003–2004) sees the character having made a deal with the devil by becoming CEO of Wolfram & Hart's Los Angeles office, and all of his friends have become W&H employees hoping to reform the organization from within under Angel's supervision. His life this season is complicated by the increasingly blurred line between good and evil, the deaths of loved ones Cordelia and Fred (Amy Acker), and the possibility that the Shanshu prophecy may in fact be referring to Spike (who is now also a vampire with a soul) rather than himself. Allowing his friends to believe he is being corrupted, Angel secretly plots to bring down the Senior Partners of Wolfram & Hart by assassinating the Circle of the Black Thorn, signing away his prophesied humanity in the process. Realizing that he may never be able to fully stop the forces of evil, Angel and his friends enter into a suicidal battle against the Senior Partners, and the series ends with the question of their survival unanswered. Between 2001 and 2004, Joss Whedon and Jeph Loeb developed a 4-minute pilot episode forBuffy the Animated Series, which was set during the show's first season. Had the series been picked up by a network, it would have featured Angel (voiced by David Boreanaz) in more adventures set duringBuffy's first season. Following a 2008 leak [1] of the pilot to YouTube, Loeb expressed some hope that the series may be resurrected in some form.

Literature In 2007, Angel began appearing in two canonical continuations ofBuffy the Vampire SlayerandAngelfrom Joss Whedon. Appearing "sparingly" in the Dark Horse ComicsBuffycontinuationBuffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Angel appears in dream sequences belonging to Buffy in the series third and twentieth issues, as well as in the Dark Horse PresentsspecialSeason Eightcomic "Always Darkest". The first depicts a sexual encounter involving Buffy, Spike and Angel simultaneously; in the second he advises Buffy about not changing the future; in the third, he and Spike neglect to help Buffy fight Caleb and instead begin flirting with and kissing one another. In the 33rd issue, the series' villain "Twilight" is unmasked as Angel; how Angel came to assume the alias is as yet unspecified. The Season Eightcreative team have promised that Angel's appearances as Twilight will not conflict with the continuity [2] of Angel's own comic book series. Angel appears more substantially within the IDW Publishing continuation of Angel,Angel: After the Fall; Whedon, with writer Brian Lynch, developed the storyline for the first seventeen issues but did not write the series himself. Beginning with the eighteenth issue of the series, IDW chose to continue telling "official"Angelstories in an ongoing comic book with rotating writers and artists. Kelley Armstrong explains that her five-issueAngel: Aftermathstory arc followingAfter the Fallis not strictly "canon" in the same sense asAfter [3][4] the Fallas it "did not come from Whedon himself". In the continued series without Whedon's involvement, Angel engages in episodic adventures, while the series also takes breaks to focus on other characters. Subsequent [5] writers included Bill Willingham. When rights toAngelsettings and characters reverted to Dark Horse, IDW promised to end their ongoingAngelseries with its forty-fourth issue in 2011, and began negotiating with Dark Horse so that it would bridge continuity withSeason Eightand the upcomingBuffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine [6] before departing.
