Nicholas Brendon

Who ever knew the day would come that we would interview live and in person, core Scoob himself, Nicholas Brendon (not to mention the fabulous Anthony Stewart Head). Are Alyson Hannigan and Sarah Michelle Gellar around the corner? We’ll just have to wait and see.

In the meantime, two of us here at Buffyfest had the extreme pleasure of catching up with Nick, talking about everything from tattoos, dating fans, Buffy Season 8 and who knows what the hell else? It’s Nick Brendon. Nothing is off limits here. Let’s go!

Buffyfest: What have you been doing in New York?

Nicholas Brendon: I have been meeting fans and pimping myself.

Buffyfest: Had any good interactions? Set up any interesting projects?

NB: You know, I love meeting fans. It’s nice to make physical contact. Not with my penis. You just can’t.

Buffyfest: Tom Lenk told us a story where he dated a Buffy fan and he was like, "How can you compete with a picture of a younger version of yourself that’s on the wall?"

NB: Yeah, I know it’s weird. I’ve never dated a fan before. You don’t know who exactly they like, you know what I mean?

Buffyfest: Could even be your brother!

NB: It could be. I tend to kind of have a line.

Buffyfest: Well the internet exists now so you can’t just say, "That happened and it’s done" because all of the sudden someone’s writing a thing online about you.

NB: It’s true. I mean a lots changed since I started acting to where we are now. There’s no privacy.

Buffyfest: So have you had any interesting interactions?

NB: You mean with my penis?

Buffyfest: With the fans. With your penis, if you like.

NB: I’ve had some interesting ones. Kind of some people who have some space issues. And some gropers.

Buffyfest: We noticed that at the panel.

NB: They’ve all been great. I had a dinner last night with the fans. I usually do a meet and greet and it wasn’t a big turn out. It was actually really nice. Usually get like forty people. I can’t do more than forty because I just don’t. I want people to get their monies worth. This time it was like twelve people just all sitting around a table talking and it was really nice.

Buffyfest: I want to talk about Criminal Minds. You mentioned that you’ve got an episode coming up next Wednesday. Can you tell us a little bit about it?

NB: My part on it is integral because he’s adorable, but it’s not integral to the plot. It’s more of the relationship between Garcia and Kevin Lynch. I pop up and I keep things light.

Buffyfest: Have you heard anything about the spin off? She (Garcia) is going to be on both shows.

NB: I know. It’s very strange. I don’t know what’s going on, I just know that I’m still on the show so when they call, I answer. I’m like a fireman.

Buffyfest: My girlfriend loves Criminal Minds and she wants you to be on all the time. Who should she be writing to?

NB: CBS.
