""I'm going to be doing some dancing"

Oh dear. I was thinking about who can/should parlay Buffy/Angel into a wider career and who'll be doing conventions in 20 years. With a few exceptions (Seth Green, ASH) Buffy breaks down by gender; SMG, Alyson, Amber B, Emma Caulfield I can see having real careers (the first two alredy do, of course), while Nick Brendon, Boreanez and Marsters I can't see getting out of the shadow of the show. Marsters seems aware of that - it's no coincidence that he's the one most frantically talking up the TVMs - but although he's a far more versatile actor than the other two, I think he's in the Fonzie Trap for life.

With Angel it's harder to call. If Denisof doesn't have a serious Clive Owen career there's no justice (there isn't), and obviously Andy Hallett will never act in the majors again, but I reckon Amy Acker and JAR could go either way. CC, sadly, is that little bit too old to make the jump - although she deserves to.

Because of his heart problem? (is that what it was? I can't remember) Is he doing any better?

No, because he's a cabaret artist.

Amazon just sent me a pre-order email for S4. Squee!

CC, sadly, is that little bit too old to make the jump - although she deserves to.

I think CC will work in TV for as long as she wants to. I don't see her being a superstar, but she's reasonably funny and seems to be willing to do about anything, so I expect she'll get another series at some point.

SMG may well be a "where are they now?" in 15 years, unless she gets better taste in scripts fast, or "The Grudge" turns out to be a breakout part instead of a routine horror movie. She definitely has the talent to cross over, but I'm not sure she's managing her career very well, and I don't think she wants to do TV again.

I want to see Emma and Amy Acker succeed, but it's hard to predict.

I hear that CC will be appearing on Charmed sometime this season.

(I pre-ordered S4 of Angel already!)

I see Charisma having a journey(wo)man career with lots of guest roles, TV movies, and maybe series down the line. But it'll take a lucky break for her to make it big.

David's already managed to parlay his Angel gig into two starring film roles, so odds are he'll be OK. The aforementioned "willing to do anything" comment goes double for him, so I can see him working steadily between the action hero stuff and goofy comedies.

J August I just can't tell about. He has the charm and talent, but I don't know if Hollywood has many roles for young black actors who don't have a Rap following, and I can't see him going the "urban" comedy route.

By all rights Amy Acker should be a star, but I fear both she and Alexis are going to end up doing character roles (albeit extremely well) for the foreseeable future.

I hear that CC will be appearing on Charmed sometime this season.

She's supposed to play a seer, apparently. Which may or may not mean the source is back, which probably doesn't mean Cole will be back, Julian McMahon having better (or at least more nekkid) things to do and all.

I'd still watch "It's Cordy!"/MTM show sitcom for Charisma. If "Joey" can make it to air, any cast member of Buffy or Angel could be fair game for spinoff.

Still want Illyria to manipulate time to rewrite Wes' encounter so he lives.

Might have to give up the secret that Fred is not all gone to do it...

Not sure if that's just a fanwank or a fanfic I need to write.

No, because he's a cabaret artist.

'splain, please. i think Andy definitely has the talent to do other things. right now he needs to focus on getting himself well though.

I think there is no justice in the entertainment world if Alexis and Amy don't get mainstream accolades. of course, i don't have much hope in that either.

CC has the potential, but like others said i think she'll be in an endless bout of guest stars and tv movies.

I think DB will be eating his words about an Angel tv movie.

YOMV.
