A Casting Story
There have been some interesting casting stories in the Buffyverse. What would the Buffyverse be like, if Bianca Lawson (Kendra) had played Cordelia instead of Charisma? |
Bianca Lawson (Kendra) was originally cast in the role of Cordelia but turned it down. She said:
 “Well, there’s a period in a season where you audition for all the pilots, and you never know…so you kind of audition for everything. At the time I had done a lot for Sister, Sister and the writers of that told me they were going to write a new show and put me in it. A couple of years later they did, they wrote a part for me in this new show and named the character Bianca. I just felt a kind of loyalty to those writers. And who knew that Buffy was going to become the phenomenon that it did?”
The show Bianca went to instead of doing Buffy was called Goode Behaviour which filmed for only one series in 1996.
Sarah Michelle Gellar originally auditioned for the role of Cordelia, feeling that her past credit playing bitchy character Kendall Hart in soap All My Children would help her along. She instead was offered the part of Buffy.
Charisma Carpenter originally auditioned for the role of Buffy but was cast as Cordelia after Bianca turned the role down. At her audition, she was given only 15 minutes to prepare for Cordelia after she had prepared for Cordelia. Charisma was offered a screen test and was so late (due to working on Malibu Shores) that she almst missed the audition.
