EXCLUSIVE: Buffy The Vampire Slayer fans are buzzing with the news a new series is coming to screens – Daily Star spoke exclusively to a former star to find out if he is making a comeback
A Buffy The Vampire Slayer star has teased whether he will be joining the new reboot which is currently in the works.
With Sarah Michelle Gellar returning as the titular character, we wondered if any other familiar faces would be joining the lineup.
So, as fans are gear up for the new Buffy series – we asked actor Tom Lenk if he had been approached for the reboot at all after playing Andrew Wells in the series.
As he promoted his new Sci-Fi comedy film Time Travel Is Dangerous, which is out in cinemas now, Tom said: “I’m thrilled that a new generation gets to experience Buffy, as that show meant so much to so many, including myself.
“Sarah knows how important her iconic character is to the fans, and I’m excited that she’s guiding this new chapter with such care.
“Being part of the show and portraying Andrew was an unbelievable experience, both personally and professionally, and I’d love to play him again!”
The star explained why fans should come check out his new film. He explained: “The movie is so funny and wonderfully bonkers that there is no way you won’t love it!
“I describe the movie as Bill and Ted meets Romy and Michelle meets Waiting for Guffman, which is all of my favourite things combined!
“Also, it’s a movie about two women who find a time machine, go back in time to steal things to sell at their vintage shop – but the kicker is – the movie’s stars, Ruth and Megan are actually two women who own a vintage shop, playing themselves?! How could you not want to see how this turns out?!”
He continued further about his role in the new movie: “My character Alex is Martin’s (Guy Henry) right hand man, a job he takes VERY seriously. He has a passion for everything T.E.S.T.I.S. (The Technology, Engineering, Scientific Thought and Innovation Society that Martin runs) I might go so far as to say that he has no choice but ‘hang around’ to the T.E.S.T.I.S. because they are his entire social circle.
“While I myself am not a member of a scientific association, my similarity to Alex is that now, because of the movie, I feel like I joined a secretive creative club full of delightful, hilarious people.”
