Interviews | Alexis Denisof
When you�re a guy

Picture Tell us how you tackled impersonating Angel in Guise Will Be Guise. What was in that blood you were drinking?

I should find out, I haven�t been feeling well ever since.

That was a really fun show for my character because it was such a contradiction to have Wesley attempting the persona of Angel and having all the doors open magically for him. The world operates around Angel but to have that for Wesley was a very new experience for him.

I really enjoyed that show, they came up with great things like drinking the blood and the rules of a vampire. Having to adapt to that made for some enjoyable comedy, remembering about not being able to walk into a room and all sorts of things like that, and, of course, a punch doesn�t hurt Angel but it stings a little when it�s Wesley. It was a really fun show and a very funny idea, one that the writer - Jane Espenson - had been wanting to do for ages.

As far as I was concerned it was fun to do and it was good for the character. He came out of himself a bit and discovered some confidence that he really needed at that time, so it was a chance for him to grow through that episode.

The character�s been changing ever since the beginning, but there are times that you can look back on and see where there are intense evolutions in the character. That�s one of them.
