Cosmo: Did you ever think about changing your name, like your father [Philadelphia weatherman Dave Roberts] did?

David Boreanaz: No. I had an agent once who recommended that. He said, "Come up with a list of names" and I —

C: You said, 'Boreanaz.'

DB: I said, "Boreanaz. That is fine with me." And if they had continued to press that, I would never have continued working with them.

C: How do you cope with the fame thing?

DB: Remembering that this is just a fleeting moment in time, and things pass, and understanding that it's about hard work and reminding myself
who I am. I get that through my friends and family.

C: Was there a moment where you really allowed yourself to enjoy the success?

DB: Enjoy it? Well, yeah. Definitely. You do enjoy it. Success is a double-edged sword and always will be because when you enjoy it, you enjoy it with an understanding of what it's worth and what it's for, and that's for self-happiness.

C: What's the first thing you went out and bought when you started making decent money?

DB: A suit.

C: You bought yourself a suit?

DB: Yeah. I like suits.

C: What kind of suit?

DB: I think it was a Valentino suit. I love Valentino suits. He's just got great stuff.

C: What was your biggest frustration in the years before you started working a lot?

DB: Working as a valet parker was very difficult, especially because I was doing a play at the same time. I think that was a really low part. I was really frustrated, parking cars and learning my lines. It was at a top hotel in Los Angeles.

C: Whose is the most famous car you parked?

DB: I parked [Robert] De Niro's car, [Martin] Scorsese's car.

C: Wow. You don't want to dent those cars.

DB: No. They were very particular. You know, "Keep it up front, kid." De Niro's very nice. I had my play book, and he signed it. I still have it.

C: Do you think about doing movies?

DB: I don't think about anything much right now. I think about the work that's in front of me. If I start to think about everything else, then it becomes too much. You know, I was fortunate this past year to have good opportunities to work in some movies, and they fell through because of scheduling. And I looked at that as a blessing. I had two legitimate offers, and it was great. You know, I think everything happens for a reason. My time will come. I firmly believe in my talents, I definitely do.
