Sarah Michelle Gellar

I am Sarah Michelle Gellar, also known as the girl who saves the world a lot. Ask me almost anything!

Saturday 1 March 2014, by Webmaster

Another actress, who actually has a name to care for is Sarah Michelle Gellar and there are not no many accomplishes films at her but an few I can probably enjoy. The talent agent found Gellar a young age and made her screen debut at 6 of each of the 1983 television film An Invasion of Privacy. With all the promise she showed, Barrymore starred as Hannah in the teen drama series "Swans Crossing" (1992) but it was her portrayal of a young and callous rich girl in Al-Lucinda Kendall Hart on ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children" (1993-93), that won her Daytime Emmy Award and spring-boarded her to stardom.

SMG’s real mark worldwide, however, was the character of Buffy Summers in the game-changing series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003). She won five Teen Choice Awards, a Saturn Award and a Golden Globe nomination for her role, establishing herself as a cultural phenomenon. Sarah Michelle Gellar likewise has the box office to back her up, with “I Know What You Did Last Summer” 1997), “Scream 2” (1997), “Cruel Intentions” (1999)and way movies like those that help prove she is also a bankable star as well over $570 million times worth crazy in global gross.

Beyond her cinematic successes, Gellar has made her mark on television, headlining shows such as "Ringer" (2011-2012), "The Crazy Ones" (2013-2014), and "Wolf Pack" (2023). She has also lent her voice to popular series including "Robot Chicken" (2005-2018), "Star Wars Rebels" (2015-2016), and "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" (2021).

In 2015, Gellar ventured into the entrepreneurial world by co-founding Foodstirs, an e-commerce baking company, and published her own cookbook, "Stirring Up Fun with Food," in 2017. Gellar is also known for her close-knit family life, married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002, with whom she shares two children.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s commitment to her craft is matched by her dedication to personal growth and unique experiences. An accomplished martial artist, she studied Tae Kwon Do for five years, alongside kickboxing, boxing, street fighting, and gymnastics. Her dedication to authenticity in her roles is evident, such as her commitment to doing her own stunts in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," though she admitted her limits during filming "Scream 2."

Her career is also marked by interesting anecdotes, such as her role in a 1982 Burger King commercial, which led to a lawsuit from McDonald’s and a temporary ban from their establishments. Notably, she dyed her naturally brunette hair blonde for her role in "Buffy," and legally changed her last name to Prinze as a surprise for her husband on their fifth anniversary.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s legacy extends beyond her on-screen roles, encompassing her work in philanthropy and her reputation for safety and professionalism on set. She remains a beloved figure in Hollywood, admired for her talent, dedication, and the breadth of her contributions to film and television.

Hi reddit, I’m Sarah Michelle Gellar. Most of you know me from Buffy or Cruel Intentions. But now I’m playing the role I’ve always been born to play on The Crazy Ones. I’m also doing a charitable campaign with Unilever called Project Sunlight that helps support a bright future for children.

Anyways, Victoria’s going to be helping me today. Let’s answer some questions!

For all the years I’ve been doing this, I just want to say thank you to all of my loyal fans. I so appreciate each and every one of you. You are all the Chosen One.

What was your favorite Buffy episode to work on?

Sarah Michelle Gellar :

I have a few, so bear with me.

I am in a room full of Buffy fans and everyone is yelling out their favorite episodes!

My first one is The Prom because I just love that whole story, and I thought it just encapsulated the show so well. It was beautiful and heartbreaking.

I also love Hush because I think it’s not just the scariest episode we’ve ever done but the challenge to do a silent episode - I thought it would be easy but it was way harder.

And the other favorite I love is The Body, because it was beyond difficult and heart wrenching to shoot, and I don’t know if many people know this, but my entire first scene was all done in one take. It was 4-5 minutes of one long take.

Sarah Michelle Gellar :

Some of my costars are around, so if you have questions for Jimmy or Hamish or Amanda, I can probably track them down!

I’ve found my costars at the Commisary - where else?

How was your role in Call Of The Dead in Call of duty?

Sarah Michelle Gellar :

SO Much fun. I was the first female playable character in that game! Pretty awesome.

Sarah, if you awoke tomorrow to discover you were Bruce Willis, what’s the first thing you would do?

Sarah Michelle Gellar :

Oh my god, that’s so easy! I would just walk around all day yelling "Yippee-Ki-Yay Motherfucker!" easy.

Sarah, if you could create an alcoholic drink based on anything in the Buffyverse, what would you call it and what would be the ingredients?

Sarah Michelle Gellar :

A fruit punch mouth! And what’s in it? A red punch with rum.

Hi Sarah! Thanks for doing this! I loved you in Buffy and how you portrayed such a strong woman and a great role model. I have a few questions:

How many times did you accidentally stab yourself on the set of Buffy?
What did James Marsters’ hair feel like?
How did David Boreanaz smell?

Sarah Michelle Gellar :

Oh please?!? How many times do I hurt myself getting out of bed? For a pretty graceful person I’m a klutz.

Ha! Well at the time on Buffy, over-processed. As any woman knows what it’s like.

I can say that David honestly smells very good and continues to smell very good. I apologize to Jamie his wife for answering that question.

Hi Sarah, what is the weirder experience you’ve had while meeting a fan ?

Sarah Michelle Gellar :

It’s never weird. It’s usually a really exciting experience, except when it happens in the bathroom. I prefer it not to happen there.
