David Boreanez

    While relatively new to the world of acting, David Boreanaz catapulted to stardom with his quiet intensity as the mysterious and tortured Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and brings new dimensions to this character in Angel. Next, Boreanaz stars on the big screen in the Warner Bros. thriller Valentine.

    A native of Philadelphia, Pa., Boreanaz was exposed to television at a young age - his father is a veteran weather forecaster for WPVI in Philadelphia. Inspired by the performance of Yul Brynner in The King and I at the young age of 7, Boreanaz had a feeling that acting would be in his future. After graduating from Ithaca College, he moved to Los Angeles to try his luck in Hollywood.

    While studying the craft of acting, Boreanaz lived the life of a starving actor, making ends meet by parking cars, painting houses and handing out towels at a sports club. Yet, it was while walking his dog in a Hollywood neighborhood that a manager spotted his brooding, intense look and instantly signed him as a client.

    His first big break was a guest spot on Married with Children playing Kelly Bundy's (Christina Applegate) biker boyfriend. He has also appeared in the television movie Men Don't Lie.

    Set for release on Valentine's Day in 2001, Boreanaz stars in Valentine as a college nerd who is the victim of a vicious practical joke by four women. More than 10 years later, he is handsome, charismatic and successful - and seeking vengeance.

    On stage, Boreanaz has performed at the Ensemble Theatre in Hat Full of Rain, at the Gardner Stage in Italian-American Reconciliation and Fool for Love, and on theatre row in Cowboy Mouth. His feature film credits include Aspen Extreme, Best of the Best 2 and Eyes of the World.
