Seth Green
Seth Green played Daniel "Oz" Osbourne on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a quiet guitarist and the boyfriend of Willow Rosenberg. He was a main cast member from 1997 to 2000. Many viewers have heard him every week without seeing him, because he has voiced Chris Griffin on Family Guy since 1999. In 2005 he and Matthew Senreich co-created Robot Chicken, the stop-motion series on Adult Swim, which has won six Emmy Awards. After its last regular season ended in 2022, the show switched to one-off specials, and one came out in July 2025.

David Boreanaz
David Boreanaz played Angel, a vampire with a soul, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer from 1997 to 2003.

From 2005 to 2017 he played FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth on Bones, directing at least one episode a season from season four onward.

His voice may be his busiest tool. He narrates many of the Dresden Files audiobooks, starting with Storm Front, and narrated Twelve Months in 2026. He is also the lead singer of the rock band Ghost of the Robot, which released the album Tin Man in 2023.
Charisma Carpenter

Her later roles include Kendall Casablancas on Veronica Mars (2005–2006), Lacy in The Expendables films (2010–2012), and Rebecca Sewell on The Lying Game (2012–2013). From 2013 to 2016 she hosted Investigation Discovery's Surviving Evil. Since 2025 she has hosted a rewatch podcast about Buffy and Angel, which means she now gets to review her own homework.

She was recurring in seasons three and four and a main cast member in seasons five through seven, for 81 episodes in total.
