Seriously DADDY COOL: David Boreanaz has gone soppy on us and it's all because of a boy - a baby boy, that is.  And he can even change a nappy.  Yes, Angel really is perfect!

Playing the vampire Angel has made him one of the biggest stars in the world, but right now the world of David Boreanaz is revolving around his new baby boy, Jaden Rayne, and his marriage to actress Jaime Bergman.  On a break from fighting off time-travelling vampire hunters, David talked exclusively to New Woman about how he's finally found happiness in the bottom of a  nappy...

Congratulations on becoming a daddy - how does it feel?

90 Degree Angel:
David Boreanaz
11/7/2002: The Green Room

By: Jason M Burns

Even though I never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I somehow became a fan of its spin-off Angel from the moment it aired. I realized there was an obvious connection, but I think the darker feel of the latter is what drew me in. Whatever it was that sparked my interest, it has made me a loyal viewer over the past three seasons…rarely ever missing an episode. So, of course it was an honor to have the show's star, David Boreanaz appear in The Green Room. (Audience claps ferociously.)

I'm going to be honest with you though. I've been known to take some flak from my buddies for watching the show. In fairness, I did change poker night because of Angel's switch to Mondays. I'm sure there is some unspoken law somewhere about how poker nights with buddies should never be broken unless it involves maiming, death, or Playboy Playmates. But anyway, from what I've noticed by talking with other people in my age bracket is that the impression of Angel is that of a show for teenage girls and not for the likes of me. Of course that is not the case and I shall put my foot down right here and right now. The writing on this show is far superior to most of the other material floating around in your tube because it uses imagination. (Remember that was the thing that our parents always told us was a good thing when we were growing up.) Apparently you're only allowed to have an imagination as a child because as an adult I'm being mocked for watching a show about a vampire with a soul. Screw that! The truth of it is…those who make fun of the show have either never seen it or lack the imagination to understand what is going on. (For the record: Those that have teased me for watching Angel are the same people that watch the dating show where one person goes out with three members of the opposite sex and then votes down to one possible mate. Three cheers for putting your imagination to good use.)

Waiting In The "Wings"

The TV show “Angel” has proven it has wings. And no one appreciates that more than its star, David Boreanaz. The sci fi drama about a tortured vampire trying to save his soul despite the forces of evil pulling at him, will enter its fourth season this fall.

The show was a spin-off of the wildly popular “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”. But there was some question if it could survive on its own. Its success quickly took care of that. “It’s a testimony to the writing, and it took us a while to find the show,” Boreanaz admits. “It wasn’t a big hit like ‘Buffy’ was right out of the gate. It took a long time to develop the show, develop the characters.”

The vamping vampire was in Toronto for the N.H.L. Awards, but admits he’s looking forward to going back to work soon. “We start back up in about a month, so it’s pretty quick.” And so was the decision by Chum Television to renew the series. You can see the latest episodes this September, when they debut on Space and the New VR.

David Boreanaz--star of The WB's hit series Angel--is riding the success of his brooding vampire character into the movies. Boreanaz headlined the slasher movie Valentine, which opened Feb. 2.

In the meantime, Boreanaz is wrapping up the second season of his show, playing the character he originated five years ago on The WB's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The popularity of his character has opened doors for the previously unknown actor, including the prospect of future movie roles. But it's a double-edged stake: the rigorous shooting schedule has forced Boreanaz to pass on several plum projects, including Resident Evil.

Boreanaz recently took a minute to talk with Science Fiction Weekly while promoting Valentine. The following combines comments from two separate interviews.
