David Boreanaz

Actor David Boreanaz drew looks in West Chester on Thursday as he strolled East Gay Street in a sleeveless undershirt, lime-green boxers, and these hideous bright-green socks.

He was between takes of the film Our Lady of Victory, the tale of Immaculata’s championship 1972 basketball team. Carla Gugino (Entourage) plays Mighty Macs coach Cathy Rush, who in this scene bursts into the bedroom to wake her husband, Ed (Boreanaz).

Boreanaz’s socks, which have drawings of leprechauns and read "Luck of the Irish," are a tradition. The Villanova-raised actor thinks they’ve helped his charmed career (Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bones).

He picked them up in Ireland in 1997, and "I wear them on day one of every production," says Boreanaz, a Malvern Prep grad and son of 6ABC’s Dave Roberts. "Have to be on."

Our Lady of Victory, written and directed by West Chester’s Tim Chambers and exec-produced by Villanova’s Pat Croce, will shoot all over the western suburbs through late June.
