From Syfyportal.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar Continues To Keep Distance From BuffyBy Michael Hinman Friday 22 October 2004, by Webmaster With all the different things happening around "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" right now, one might think that the actors and such are excited as well. Apparently not all of them. Taking some cues from former co-star David Boreanaz ("Angel"), Sarah Michelle Gellar has been noticeably absent from a couple of projects as of late, and recently told interviewers that it’s simply because of time. "You know it’s so interesting," Gellar recently told Sci-Fi Wire. "Most of the time in this business, you really only get one side. You get he who speaks loudest." Gellar said that people speaking out against her lack of involvement with the animated series, and now with the commentary portions of the DVD sets, are really only giving one side of the story. She said it’s her schedule that has gotten in the way, not a lack of interest. "In terms of the DVDs, they always did the commentaries during the show," Gellar said. "I was working constantly, three units. There was never time. It was unfortunate. It was a timing thing. If you tell a line producer, ’OK, we need Sarah for two hours on this day to do commentary,’ the line producer is going to tell you, ’Uh-uh.’ So that was why I didn’t do it during the show. And if I had free time, if for some reason I was getting a day off, I was taking it. I was exhausted." As far as the animated series went, Gellar said she more or less would like to spend time as a free spirit. "Literally, the joke is I’m a commitment-phobe actor right now," she said. "I am a commitment-phobe because I was nothing but contractually bound for years. I was contractually bound to (’Buffy the Vampire Slayer’), to the (Scooby Doo) movies, to whatever it was. I don’t do something unless I can commit 110 percent, and I just can’t that that three times a month or this week I could actually, absolutely do an animated show." 8 Forum messages |
