did u think this was strange

[Rachster]

did you think it was strange that knox was played by the same guy who played holden webster on buffy i just think its weird that he used the same guy and spike should have noticed...? right..anyway it just bugged me a bit lol

[destor]

In my mind they are long lost twins. they never gave his last did they? (Assuming that isn't his last name...)

long lost twins thats a nice way to think of it im gonna think of it like that from now on

[Slayer489]

Yeah I had the same theory of them being long lost twins. And they both died within like just like a year and a half between their deaths.

[Ethros]

I guess they're also ancestors of Private Tracey in Firefly

[Wyndam]

Yeah Joss used the actor in all three of his shows. He also died in all three as well. I always loved that.

[eternalspikefan]

Yeah I thought it was strange too. Infact I remember telling my sister that it was the same guy who played both characters but she wouldn't believe me,I ended up getting the episodes and playing them back to back.
I proved my point hehe

I came to the conclusion that they were related too so yeah long lost twins sits nicely with me.

I don't think it's strange, joss always reuses actors he likes. And for the record, my sister never believed me that the same guy playing Rack played the vampire in Helpless. I really don't like Jonathan Woodward. It could be because he usually plays unlikable characters, but I just find him snobbish, and it always feels like he's putting on an act and beneath the happy-go-lucky exterior is a slippery weasel. When he was Knox I wanted to ring his throat.

[eternalspikefan]

Haha
Our superior knowledge of Buffy in comparison to our sisters precedes us then!

I know what you mean I liked his character in Buffy even although Holden was a little annoying,but Knox just made me want poke his eyes out lol

[alycat7]

seeing him play knox only a year after doing Holden made his character less credible to me.

[Wyndam]

What about Tom Lenk playing a vampire in Season 5 of Buffy?

[eternalspikefan]

I agree with the lack cred of his character after playing the two roles all things considered

And also with Tom Lenk being the vamp in S5 too.
It makes you think if we were being tested or if it was just a case of seing if we like the characters lol *shrugs*

Nothing gets past out watchful eyes

[alycat7]

good point, but i didnt even notice that was andrew until someone else told me.

[El Diablo Robotico]

There were so many cases where an actor played a character on one show, then was brought back to play a different character on the other show, that it never bothered me. You'd probably come up with a list 30 or 40 names long if you tried to figure out all the actors who played multiple parts on the two shows... or sometimes the same show. Sean Gunn, for example, played Doyle's cousin in "Hero", then Mars (Jhiera's kooky friend at the spa) in "She", just four eps later...

[artiswar]

Good point, it's true. If you look hard enough, you can find a lot of familiar famous.

[ded1]

Luke in S1&The Judge in S2 were the same actor as well[can't remember his name though]

[Rachster]

its not so much that joss reused him more that the character he played on angel was similar and looked the same as the character he played on Buffy with the judge and Luke they looked and acted different same with tom being a vamp and being Andrew there was a difference but with holden and Knox they looked and acted the same (except for the nerdynes of Knox)..
