Can you tell us about how you came to be on Buffy? Did you expect to still be involved after so much time?

I first went in for a meeting with Joss, and Gail [Berman] and David Greenwalt and Marcia Shulman who was casting it [were there].

I had seen a couple of episodes of the show and thought it was really really interesting. I loved the whole idea of high school as a nightmare and using dark forces and taking that to the absolute extreme.

I went in [and] had this great creative meeting. Joss had seen my work in I think, Ed Wood or a movie called Theodore Rex and [we] bounced ideas. They had said that it might be about an eleven episode arc, so I didn't know that it was going to continue, but it's been really lovely and fun that it has.
