Angel
While relatively new to the world of acting when he landed a guest-starring role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, David Boreanaz catapulted to stardom with his quiet intensity as the mysterious and tortured Angel and ultimately landed his own long-running series. Boreanaz also appeared in The Crow: Wicked Prayer, the fourth installment of the horror series, also starring Dennis Hopper, Edward Furlong, Tara Reid and Macy Gray.
A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Boreanaz was exposed to television at a young age -- his father is a veteran weather forecaster for WPVI in Philadelphia. 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.
In 2002 Boreanaz starred in the romantic comedy I'm with Lucy, with Monica Potter, Henry Thomas and Anthony LaPaglia. He also starred in the Warner Bros. thriller Valentine.
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.

Her first break in television came with a guest appearance on the popular series Baywatch. Shortly thereafter she landed an audition for Aaron Spelling, who cast her as a regular in the series Malibu Shores.

Lorne
Andy Hallett was raised in the tiny Cape Cod village of Osterville, Massachusetts, part of the town of Barnstable. He attended Barnstable High School and then Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts.
He spent his early years hiding his love for singing and performing. He would lock himself in his room when his parents weren't home and belt out his favorite tunes. Hallett eventually got to live out his dream on the Joss Whedon series Angel as Lorne, a wisecracking "good demon" who runs a karaoke establishment and can read the thoughts and souls of patrons when they sing.
Hallett considered himself shy until he had a life-changing experience at a Patti LaBelle concert. She invited him on stage to sing "Lady Marmalade" with her and when he received applause and requests for photographs, he realized that show business was in his future.
After moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting, Hallett worked as a runner at a talent agency, a property manager and a personal assistant. Angel creator and executive producer Joss Whedon saw Hallett singing at a blues revue and conceived the character of Lorne. Hallett was invited to try out for the part and landed the role, his first job as an actor.
In addition to Angel, Hallett has also starred in The Enforcers, a television mini-series about young mobsters starring James Marsters, Tangi Miller and Michelle Trachtenberg, and in the independent film Chance, written by Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star, Amber Benson.

Born in the remote northern logging town of Greenville, California and raised in Modesto, California, Marsters always knew he wanted to be an actor. From his debut as Eeyore in a fourth grade production of Winnie the Pooh, he went on to study acting at New York's prestigious Juilliard School. He began his professional career in the theater, performing in stage productions including The Tempest and Red Noses at Chicago's renowned Goodman Theatre. In addition, Marsters revisited the stage in Los Angeles with a starring role in an original play produced by Noah Wyle titled The Why.
Marsters made his onscreen debut guest-starring on the television series Northern Exposure. He landed the prominent role of an ill-at-ease priest, which was cast locally in Seattle, soon after moving to the Pacific Northwest. He was inspired by the success to move to Los Angeles and within months was sinking his proverbial teeth into the role of Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Marsters, no stranger to television, starred in the anthology series Strange Frequency for VH1, as well as in Gene Roddenbury's Andromeda.
Other credits include the feature film The House on Haunted Hill, a psychological horror film which also starred Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen, Taye Diggs and Lisa Loeb.
