Interviews | Amber Benson
Part 5

Picture The body, Joss and spin-offs.

Nt300uk: My own favourite episode was The Body - how hard was that episode to make?

Amber Benson: That's a wonderful episode. Watching Kristine Sutherland walking around the set and come to lunch in her dead make-up was really unsettling. The most emotional scene for me was doing the scene with Sarah in the hospital. She was sick at the time but still put in the most amazing performance. It is a beautiful episode.

Jay_Jay: What monologues would you recommend for actor audition pieces?

Amber Benson: If you're doing something classical I would say your best bet is to go for something from 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Bbandangie: Is it good working with Joss Whedon or does he drive you too hard?

Amber Benson: He beats me with wet noodles! Actually someone once wrote me a letter asking if Joss whips us. I wondered, "How did they know". But seriously, he's great to work with. He knows what he wants and works diligently to get there.

Ellie: Is there any member of the cast you get on with particularly well with?

Amber Benson: They're all so nice. I really love Michelle. She's such a sweetie and she knows her Buffy inside out, so if there's anything you need to know, she's your woman! She's a real dear.

T-O: If you were offerd the part as a Bond girl would you go for it?

Amber Benson: Hell yeah! C'mon! I think that would be fantastic. Can you imagine? That would be so much fun.

Chris5: When we going to see a spin off series with you as the lead part?

Amber Benson: Oh I like Chris!! I doubt that that would ever happen. I think Buffy's been on for seven years and has already had one spin-off... I think that if there were to be another spin-off it would have to be Spike or Dawn.
