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.
