Eliza Dushku spoke in an interview with Michelle Erica Green about her first few days filming Buffy:
“I showed up at the set for a wardrobe fitting, they were like, ‘This is Nick, he plays Xander,’ and I’m going, ‘What’s a Xander? Is he a demon?’ They had to give me like 30 tapes to fill up on! I got sucked in in those first 30 shows, and it’s for the better because I knew what was going on.
“…I remember day one, the first vampire I came into contact with, that Kakistos guy, he’s like this seven-foot tall monster, and I’m walking in one of my first mornings on the show, I’m all groggy, just having woken up, and I come face to face with this terrifying-looking guy walking out of the makeup trailer! It’s not something you see every day! I freaked! I totally jumped back.”

I love Eliza! She’s so funny. I recently watched her get Punk’d. She really got stressed out.
December 30th, 2005 at 9:47 pm
Yeah I saw that a while ago - SO funny, she really didn’t have a clue did she?! Poor thing.
Eliza’s a fab actress, I love her in Tru Calling too.
December 30th, 2005 at 9:49 pm
haha, do u know if any other buffy stars have been punk’d?
December 30th, 2005 at 9:49 pm
OMG!!! I love Tru Calling. I bought in on DVD about 3 weeks ago after seeing it on Sky Three and I’m completely in love with it. Makes me love Faith a bit more too.
December 30th, 2005 at 9:50 pm
I’ve not seen any other episodes of Punkd - I think the Eliza one I saw on some dvd i bought off ebay or something.
Tru Calling’s fab, I’ve got the whole series on dvd but i took a break of watching it (to watch buffy - for a change!!) so i’ve not finished it all yet.
December 30th, 2005 at 9:52 pm
i’m gonna get it soon, anyarocks persuaded me the other day, all i have to do now is wait for the money to buy it!
December 30th, 2005 at 9:53 pm
Ashanti (Lissa), Amber Tamblyn (Janice) and David Boreanaz (Angel) are the only names I noticed. I scrolled through the Guest appearances on www.imdb.com
December 30th, 2005 at 9:53 pm
Are you in the UK? If so then go to Tesco - I got the whole series (1 & 2) there for £29.99
December 30th, 2005 at 9:54 pm
You won’t regret it, Hannah!
December 30th, 2005 at 9:55 pm
i know!!m im actualy really looking forward to getting it!!
December 30th, 2005 at 9:55 pm
I was well pissed off the other day. I saw it in Tesco for £17.49! I got it from HMV for £29.99, and I thought that was a bargain!
December 30th, 2005 at 9:57 pm
:O ages ago i say it in WHsmiths for £19.99 i was looking at it but i didnt bother getting it, i wish i had now!
December 30th, 2005 at 9:58 pm
Oh what a pain, still it’ll totally be worth the money.
December 30th, 2005 at 9:58 pm
You don’t want to go to Tesco. You want to go to your independent DVD retailer, whoever that may be.
Damn the man!
(Sorry ’bout that - I’m not an independent DVD retailer - I’d just like to see a few shops in the world that aren’t chain stores.)
December 30th, 2005 at 9:59 pm
well it’s in tesco right this second for £17.49, waiting for you!
December 30th, 2005 at 9:59 pm
lol, sorry :o)
Yes, go to your local retailer. (But watch out if u see it at a Sunday market as it may be a pirated copy!!!!!)
December 30th, 2005 at 10:00 pm
lol yes i shall get it as soon as im paid!! thanx all!
December 30th, 2005 at 10:00 pm
lol if its sold out of the back of a car then i should stear quite clear.
December 30th, 2005 at 10:02 pm
I hope you get it soon and you enjoy it - I’m positive you will. Eliza’s fab in it, and some of the other Buffy stars pop up along the way.
December 30th, 2005 at 10:04 pm
you can’t beat a good look at some buffy stars living it up in other shows!
December 30th, 2005 at 10:07 pm
true, true
or should i say tru tru
(oh my god what an awful pun)
December 30th, 2005 at 10:16 pm
erm yes, awful but apropriate!
December 30th, 2005 at 10:18 pm
lol, sorry!! I’m so tired. I’ve been on this site so long i’ve forgotten to have dinner!!! oops.
December 30th, 2005 at 10:20 pm
i know what you mean its extremely addictive!!!
December 30th, 2005 at 10:22 pm
I’m so glad I found this site - it’s like sitting in a pub with a load of other Buffy nutters being able to talk about random quotes and showing each other we’re complete Buffy nerds without getting laughed at!!
December 30th, 2005 at 10:24 pm
i would just love to be in a pub quiz were there are loads of buffy questions, this site would be like the bible in that situation!!
December 30th, 2005 at 10:27 pm
Oh yeah definitely!
My mum keeps nagging me to apply for mastermind - not because i’d win (I only get about three of the general knowledge ones right!) but to ‘demonstrate my buffy knowlegde’ - how cool would that be - “Your specialist subject is…”
“Buffy The Vampire Slayer”
I’m SOOOOOO tempted
December 30th, 2005 at 10:42 pm
The question setters always seem to get really sneaky when subjects not to do with dead victorian novelists are chosen - “who designed the wigs used by Emma Caulfield when she was in her demonic guise” and that sort of thing.
December 30th, 2005 at 10:47 pm
yeah i know what you mean, you would get a question such as how many teeth does david boreanaz have excluding his wisdom teeth!?!? huh? lol
December 30th, 2005 at 10:51 pm
lol, yeah that’d be the only problem (Hannah, I think it’s 28 excluding his wisdom teeth!).
I guess you’d have to be really specific when you told them your specialist subject, like “the life and times of the Buffy Characters” or something.
It’d take a heck of a lot of swatting up though!
