 D. B. Woodside played Principal Robin Wood in season seven. D. B stands for David Bryan. He’s been in The Law and Henry Lee, Murder One, CSI: Miami, Once and Again, The Division and The Practice. Since leaving Buffy, D.B. has played Wayne Palmer in 24, and appeared in CSI and Something More. He told the BBC in an interview about how he got the job on Buffy: “I’d never actually watched the show. The summer before the seventh season I got a call from my manager - I guess [the producers] had seen some of my work - and they wanted me to come in and screen for this character. I said no, a week passed and they asked me again - and I said no again. Finally, thankfully, my manager twisted my arm and forced me to go in. Shortly afterwards I fell in love with the role and the rest is history. I’m so glad my manager pushed me.” Appeared in: Lessons, Beneath You, Help, Him, Never Leave Me, Bring on the Night, First Date, Get It Done, Storyteller, Lies My Parents Told Me, Dirty Girls, Empty Places, Touched, End of Days, Chosen |

I just saw Woodside in a movie called The Temptations which came out in 98. It was weird to see him singing in an afro. Good times.

Mr. Woodside is currently on ‘24.’ He plays former President Palmer’s brother. Good stuff.

He is currently playing a large part in the plot of ‘24′. If you haven’t seen this show, you need to. It is just awesome.
I also want to mention that his character is excellant (my personal favorite, after Keifer, anyway).

I just wanted to mention that I sure do hope that D.B. Woodside returns to 24 next season. Since he survived season five (which I personally didn’t expect) it would seem that he should be primed for a large role in season six. At least I hope so.
