Deputy Mayor interviewed…

Jack Plotnik, who played the deputy Mayor Allan Finch during season three, spoke about his time on Buffy in an interview with BroadwayWorld.com on January 29, 2006:

“Sadly, I didn’t become a crazy huge fan of the show until after I appeared on it. Back then I was like, “Nice to meet you, Sarah Michelle (Gellar)”. Now, I would be like “Oh my God, when you realized your sister was the key and you threw yourself off the building to save her was that harder and/or more heartbreaking than seeing Willow turn evil because her girlfriend was murdered! Sarah Michelle?! Sarah Michelle!?! Who are these guys? I didn’t order security…”

“I actually only did four episodes…the day we shot my death, they asked if I’d be willing to do my own stunt. “Heck yeah,” I thought, “What could possibly go wrong with that?” They put a pad on my back, and asked me to throw myself against a dumpster. Okay, that hurts. Even with a “pad.” I don’t recommend it.”

“Then she stabbed me in the heart with a stake. Okay. Even a retractable stake HURTS when you get stabbed in the chest with it! Cut to: My next episode I show up in Buffy’s nightmare, pulling her underwater. I guess they still figured that I was happy to do my own stunts, as they had me hold my breath underwater for what seemed like an interminable amount of time. All the while the director is asking me to look calm as feel my life ebb away.”
