Angel is born

Joss Whedon says in his commentary for I Only Have Eyes For You that it was David Boreanaz’s performance in that episode which made him realise that the actor was strong enough to pull off a spin-off series on his own.

      It’s not a rumor. If you look at the special features interview associated with the episode on DVD, Joss says this very thing.

      cool

      Honestly, I didn’t feel like David’s performance here was so great. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad at all, in fact it was really good! I just think there have been times he has done even more spectacular performances (the end of Becoming Part 2 for instance).

      There is also a moment in Season 3’s Bad Girls where Angel walks in and says “His name is Angel.” that when other producers thought he could pull off his own show.

    5. Angel242 says:

      Well, yes but those episodes you guys mentioned were episodes later on in the series, so he probably realised for the FIRST time that David could pull of a spin-off in I Only Have Eyes For You.

      Why can’t my stupid DVDs have this commentary? It is the farthest thing from fair!
