Charisma Carpenter

Charisma

Charisma Carpenter played Cordelia Chase. Charisma moved to Los Angeles from Las Vegas (where she was born) and met her agent whilst working as a waitress. She took acting classes and was then cast in several commercials, including one for Secret deoderant which ran for a long time. Charisma then got a part in an episode of Baywatch, which Aaron Spelling saw and then offered her a part on Malibu Shores.
Charisma auditioned for the part of Buffy but was eventually offered the role of Cordelia which took her from Sunnydale to L.A. in the spin-off Angel, in which her character evolved amazingly. The character of Cordelia appeared in only one episode in the series’ fifth season, much to the anger of fans.
Charisma and her husband Damian Hardy had a baby boy named Donovan Charles Hardy in March 2003. She has since appeared in See Jane Date, Charmed, Veronica Mars and Miss Match.

      what does Cordelia mean in the Season 2 episode “Killed by Death” when she says. “As long as she’s here she should take care of that thing on her face. You know that thing?” What is on Buffy’s face that she needs to take care of?

    2. ant4buffy says:

      Buffy’s nose i reckon. it has a slight bump in it. Thats what i think anyway.

    3. The_True_Xander says:

      How old is Charisma? It doesn’t say here, unless I’m incredibly blind and stupid.

    4. Smash says:

      She’s 35 right now. It says up there her date of birth is July 23, 1970, you probably just missed it.

    5. Dawn says:

      she is beautiful…
      and I loved Charisma more on Buffy then in Angel

    6. The_True_Xander says:

      Yeah I loved her on Buffy more as well… she was just so mean!
      Oh, and thanks Smash. I was right: I am blind and stupid.

    7. Dawn says:

      she was mean… and kind and funny and chaotic in Buffy… thats the REAL cordy :)

      and she looks REALLY REALLY good for her age…

      “in the Season 2 episode “Killed by Death” when she says. “As long as she’s here she should take care of that thing on her face. You know that thing?” What is on Buffy’s face that she needs to take care of?”

      I always thought it was a bit of ironic comedy because Charisma/Cordy had circular mole or birth mark on her own left (?) cheek and probably had a complex about it so she might have really been referring to herself…could be wrong.

      I liked her more in Angel than in Buffy. In Buffy, she just was a sidekick, in Angel her character gets developed a lot more. Besides, I absolutely loved her first lines in Angel (Hey Angel! Are you still *argh*?)

    10. Dawn says:

      I loved that first line 2… real cordy…
      but after that she became really diffrent not the cordy we knew from Buffy… and thats good a character needs to grow… I still LOVED her in Angel… but liked her more in Buffy

    11. Mr.Pointy says:

      I liked Cordy more in Angel, she seemed to have more of a role. In Buffy she was this high maitenance girl, but in Angel she had a role, mostly i think because of the visions she was given. :]

    12. MagicBone says:

      I liked her in seasons one and two of Angel but not that much afterwards. She seemed unCordelia-like in season three of Angel and in season four, she was plain creepy. All having sex with Connor and killing people and trying to kill everyone else and her weird thing about our child” and “our family” and “our baby.” That freaked me out. I know she was possessed and everything but still. Could she have possibly been less like the wife/groupie of an imprisoned serial killer and more … um, not?
