Hiiii! Can you share some conversation snippets of your time at the Angel panel at C2E2? Anything Cangel or David x Charisma would be *chef’s kiss*

Thank you!

Hi!!! Yes, yes I can! I actually wrote down everything I could remember from the panel like right after I saw it and just for some reason never posted it to tumblr. This is more like "things I can recall" than convo snippets but here you go!

This is from the 2023 BTVS Cast Reunion panel at C2E2 this past April for anyone confused/curious

*(CC - Charisma Carpenter, DB - David Boreanaz, JM - James Marsters, MB - Marc Blucas)

the moderator wasn’t great imo, like she didn’t really ask any show specific questions and I think only asked Marc like one or two questions directly but the cast were fantastic

CC’s family were there cause they’re from the area and so she gave them a shoutout and thanked us for the applause because it makes her look like the cool aunt (also she didn’t really swear in comparison to the rest of the cast and I think that may be why)

Also CC and DB have SO much chemistry its insane

DB was asked how broody he is in real life and he told a story about how someone earlier told him he looked really miserable XD and CC jumped in and talked about how giggly he is

MB talked about his audition process and how when it was down to him and the guy who wound up playing Parker and he had to chemistry read with SMG he blew his back out playing basketball and had to wear flip flops to the audition cause he couldn’t put his shoes on and basically didn’t do well because he was in pain but in an unconventional Hollywood move, JW called him up later and said he knew he could do it and to come back after SMG got back from vacation and try again

CC also talked about her audition process and told the story how she was stuck in traffic going from the Malibu Shores set to the offices in Burbank and her agent paged her “911” so she pulled over at a gas station to use the pay phone and her agent was like “where are you? they want to leave” and CC went “they are not leaving, tell them to order a pizza!” and then went on and nailed the audition to the point where she walked out and told her agent she got it before she was actually told she got it

DB talked about his audition process too and how he was spotted walking dogs and asked in to audition and his first round with Marcia Roberts they talked about Italian restaurants for like an hour and then she was like “oh we need you to read this”. And then when he went to the second round with more of the execs he started talking about restaurants again and eventually Greenie was like “okay we get it can you read?” So he did and the scene he read had Buffy kicking Angel off a motorcycle and there was a rocking chair that he kept trying to visualize as the motorcycle and eventually JW told him that no matter how long he stares at it, it won’t become a motorcycle. Then DB said that his read wasn’t the best and he didn’t feel great about it at first but eventually he got it around to a place where he could end and feel good about it and then he kinda knew he got the part (And CC was like “oh you knew too!”)

also someone in the audience asked if a hotdog is a sandwich and all of the cast said no and then DB started talking about how the best hotdogs he ever had were grilled and from Boston or somewhere and then went on a huge rant about Chicago food and how it’s frowned upon to put ketchup on your hotdog (I’ve never really experienced that tbh and I’m originally from the area XD) and how Chicago pizza is like soup and it was so funny because he was just so adamant and just really funny

And CC was like “you triggered him!” and playfully trying to like almost talk him down

at the end of his rant DB just goes something like “the hotdogs set me off!”

Someone else asked about CC and JM working on supernatural together and if they knew they’d be working together before hand and JM said he did and that when he was told he’d be working with CC he was like “oh no” because he genuinely thought she was mean because of how good of an actress she is and then partway through filming he was like “oh I am SO sorry, I am an idiot” and CC was like “and I was like ‘oh so that’s why we never interacted on set’”. Also JM kept complimenting CC on her acting and said he was really happy to have done that episode because it allowed him to make a new friend and CC said she was really happy for that time because she got to really know James and because it was fun to try and not butcher Romanian together

they were asked about their favorite episodes and James said “The Body” because of the tonal shift and how they could do something so powerful they didn’t even need vampires or music. Marc said “Hush” and that when filming, he was newer to the industry but was so impressed by how much was able to be conveyed without dialogue and it was a moment he was like “oh they this creator [JW] has power”. DB talked about what he remembered from Becoming Part 2 with being stabbed in the gut and a mouth opening up and being sucked away and going “buffy!” and Marc jumps in and goes “are you sure you weren’t saying ‘Riley!’” and DB then goes “Riley! you’re next! you’re the next boyfriend!”

CC’s answer was when she got to finally stake a vampire in Graduation Day Part 2 and how she really felt like Cordy would know how to kill a demon at this point and then got to

The moderator did this like buffy themed personality quiz with the cast while people were lining up for questions and they were asked what outfit they’d wear if they got turned into a vampire and out of the options given (tracksuit, 19th century corset and dress, long leather trench coat) MB chose tracksuit, DB said “all of them” and also that he didn’t really care ahkdks, CC said the dress but she’d also be down for leather and heels because she likes to kick butt, and JM ofc said the coat

Also CC said she’d love to be a vampire and JM said she’d also make a great slayer and then asked the audience “wouldn’t Cordelia be a great slayer?” and everyone cheered

someone asked about how DB felt when he read that Angelus was gonna kill Jenny and if he was worried that his character wouldn’t be able to come back from that and DB was like “I was just happy I was getting paid” but then he talked about how you just go with it and let the script lead you and just go fully into it acting wise. And then he told a story about how when they were filming the scene where Angelus snaps Jenny’s neck, he remembers specifically where they were standing and when he did the crack he put a little flourish to it and afterwards people were like “dude are you okay???”

And then James talked about how the best character arcs are like a rollercoaster, you have moments of going up and being like “weeee” and moments of going down and screaming and you don’t want a flat rollercoaster

CC also started to go off of what they said but I honestly don’t remember what she said because she mentioned “salty goodness” and DB immediately perked up and got all smirky and faux flirty and put his arm around CC and she leaned into him and goes “helloooo salty goodness” and it was the highlight of the whole panel

someone asked what monsters they would’ve liked to either battle or be turned into in the show and ~ DB - Bigfoot, MB - Yeti, JM - Baba Yaga, CC - Medusa

CC’s Medusa answer was because in sixth grade she used to use curlers in her hair and it’d puff out and kids would make fun of her for that and she thinks having Medusa would maybe help her sixth grade self reclaim that. And then she goes “maybe this is something I should bring up in therapy”

MB talked about his sex scenes with SMG and how she’s little and he would have to be on top and he’d be like “you’re gonna kill this girl!”

Marc: “Looking down the line I realize we’ve all kissed Sarah” CC raises her hand really high: “I haven’t!”

DB joked about how the sex scenes with SMG were tame but on Angel he got to really let loose and he and Julie Benz got to go wild and CC goes “excuse me” and he kinda stops and playfully nudges her and says something that implies that hers were better or their scenes were good too (I don’t super remember because I think the moderator started talking over them)

also in the earlier discussion about all of them being Buffy’s boyfriends, DB got all goofy excited about going over to his own show and having CC on it and was like “see ya Buffy, I’ve got my own thing now” and sort of nudged CC

for some reason the QnA got cut short? it was super weird the moderator got a little card that I’m assuming had a note on it and said they needed to end the QnA and then James looked at the paper and the moderator said they had a raffle and everyone was bummed so CC was like “would you like a raffle or more questions?” and James handed her the paper and she immediately put her mic down

And the raffle was super strange because it was just trying to get people to guess how much Spike’s coat cost and people were guessing and she was like “higher” and then this woman was $400 dollars off and she was just like “oh I’ll give it to you” but then didn’t have a prize on hand and was just like “you’ll get one later” with no other info??? it was so strange

but we still had like 21 more minutes of panel left so the moderator just asked more questions which I probably have already talked about but I honestly can’t remember what order things were asked in

it was a really good and fun panel though, the cast were so great and they all talked about how much the fans mean to them and everything, they were very sweet and they also talked about how CC and JM were really championing the con scene from almost the very beginning and it was so super sweet and they’re all such a great cast

#suuuper fun panel #hopefully someday theyll make the video free to watch #btvs cast #btvs #ats #charisma carpenter #james marsters #david boreanaz #marc blucas #c2e2 #comic con panel #ask #vampandvisiongirl
