You worked with Eliza Dushku (Faith) on the film Bring it On. Did she give you any advice about working on Buffy?

When I filmed Bring It On I didn�t know I was going to do Buffy, but Eliza and I stayed in touch - we�re actually really good friends - so when I auditioned and got the part I called her. [I said] "Guess what? I�m going on your old show," and she was really encouraging and supportive.

She told me I was going to have a wonderful time, [that] the crew and the cast were great and what to expect. It was nice to have that as a resource for information before I actually set foot on the lot.
