 Jane Espenson, the writer of the episode The Replacement, discussed the episode in an interview with the BBC. She said: “I had actually pitched a double Xander episode in one of my first seasons because I thought, “We’ve got an actor with an identical twin, how can we not use this, this is such an opportunity. We can do the shots without having to do the cheesy green screen thing, we can use both actors.” It just seemed like a natural to me so I was really happy when I got the opportunity to do that. An interesting nugget about that episode was it was originally called Real Me (the eventual title of episode two) and we decided to change it because we didn’t want to give away the fact that both Xanders were real. They were both Xander.” |
