David Boreanaz

David Boreanaz is an American actor, television producer and director, known for his role as the vampire Angel on the supernatural drama series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spinoff series "Angel." He is also known as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth on the television crime drama "Bones."

Boreanaz's first paid acting appearance was a 1993 guest spot on the American sitcom, "Married... with Children." He was cast in the television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," after being suggested for the role to Marti Noxon by one of Boreanaz's neighbors, after walking his dog past their house. In the cult series, he played the mysterious Angel, a vampire cursed with a soul as punishment for his past sins. The show became enormously successful and Boreanaz starred in a spin-off series, "Angel," which gave the character a chance to evolve and concentrated on Angel's battle for redemption for the sins he committed before he regained his soul.

Boreanaz's only starring role in a major theatrical film was in 2001's slasher horror film, "Valentine," alongside Denise Richards and Katherine Heigl. In 2002, he had a supporting role in a Lifetime television movie titled "I'm with Lucy."

In 2005, Boreanaz began starring opposite Emily Deschanel on the prime time television series, "Bones."

As well as being a producer on Bones since its third season, Boreanaz also directed a number of episodes, including "The Bones That Foam," "The Parts in the Sum of the Whole"(the series' 100th episode), "The Bullet in the Brain" and "The Blackout in the Blizzard." BuddyTV ranked him No. 13 on its "TV's 100 Sexiest Men of 2010" list and No. 18 in 2011.
