Live From Toronto’s Comic Con 2011: Julie Benz Talks BUFFY, ANGEL, DEXTER and NO ORDINARY FAMILY
12:00PM: “We haven’t heard anything official,” said Julie Benz on the fate of her freshman ABC series NO ORDINARY FAMILY. “New episodes on the 22nd [of April] in our regular timeslot, then another new episode on Saturday the 26th at 10pm, then our season finale will be on April 5th at 8PM, so yeah it’s not a good sign when the network is moving you around.”
12:02PM: “Dana!” Was Benz’s answer to who’s the best kisser when it comes to ANGEL’s David Boreneaz, DEXTER’s Michael C. Hall and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES’ Dana Delany!
12:04PM: What was the only downside to what the actress characterizes as her wonderful experience playing Darla on both BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL? “Taking that makeup off, it was like having six layers of skin ripped off your face every time. It was miserable and the contact lenses were terrible. I don’t wear contacts and I don’t know how people do it, sticking things in their eyeballs all the time.”
12:05PM: From the department of things we didn’t know comes the fact that the part of Darla in the original BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER pilot presentation was originally written as ‘Vampire Girl #1’ “I was supposed to die in the pilot, but about halfway through the pilot Joss [Whedon] was like, ‘We’re giving you a name and we’re not going to kill you.’ And he did that for a while until it finally came time to kill me, and kill me, and kill me and killed me,” explained Benz when asked about the origins of the character that would quickly become a fan favorite. “For me, I was a new actor to LA, didn’t know the TV business very well so I was just excited to work and play a vampire. I had no clue what I was going to do or how I was going to be scary. Until that is, they put the vampire makeup on me and I went into the trailer and smiled, which I thought was creepy. Joss always said he was intrigued that someone who looked like me and talked like me was like the scariest vampire ever. That’s what he wanted, my sweet voice and demeanour until all of a sudden I’m just this vicious vampire.”
