Would you like to do some acting someday?
Nick: Yeah, definitely.
What would your dream role be?
Nick: Probably my ideal role would be in an action movie. I would love to do an action movie.
Who would star in the movie you directed?
Nick: Me! (Laughs) The thing is, we've talked about this a few times, that maybe in the future it would be cool if we made a movie about ourselves. That would be cool.

# 76).NEW Sarah Michelle Gellar is best friends with Lindsay Sloane, that's why Sarah Guest Starred on Grosse Pointe (Feb 16, 2001) -
From TVGUIDE.COM - While Sloane may never be bosom buddies with Spelling, it actually was her friendship with Gellar that made the Buffy the Vampire Slayer leading lady a Grosse Pointe guest (as herself). "We were trying to figure out a way that we could be in every scene together, and that only happens if you're playing someone's love interest," Sloane explains. "So she was like, 'Well, all right then - I'll just have to play your love interest.'
"We told that to [creator] Darren Star," she continues, "and he came up with a very funny story using that."
Unfortunately for Sloane, the buss stopped short of generating the heat of Gellar's same-sex smooch in the feature Cruel Intentions - the one that earned Gellar and Selma Blair the MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss. "I thought it was going to be a little bit friskier," Sloane sighs. "It was so simple, like a hello kiss."
Nonetheless, Sloane doesn't hesitate to deem her pal's pucker up to par. "Oh, Sarah's definitely a 10," she insists. "Even just from watching her in other things, I know she knows what she's doing."

# 73). BUFFY was #5 on Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 Shows of the Year for 2000!

# 60). "THE REPLACEMENT" - In the scenes where both Xanders were in the room then Kelly played the "cool" Xander. But in scenes where only one Xander was needed then Nicholas played both Xanders.
From NickBrendon.com: Howdy all! Nick Brendon here. First of all, thanks so much for your support and enthusiasm. I agree. The episode was Xantastic! Truth be told, I played both characters. It was very challenging and rewarding and I must've done an OK job if you couldn't tell it was me. Glad you enjoyed the Snoopy Dance. Been perfecting it at home (makes my girlie go ga-ga.) I had a blast working with Kelly and he really deserves kudos for his work. He was never promised on-screen dialogue but they did end up using some and I think he did a stand-up job. In fact there was even one point where Kelly, Tressa and I had to rewind and freeze the tape to decipher who was who, (standing side by side, Kelly as "Cool Xander" did a stellar job of imitating my signature blinky eyes.) So very glad you guys enjoyed the show and can't thank you enough for your steadfast interest and support.Smoochies! P.S. What the heck is LOL and *g*? To be truly cool I GOTTA get w/ the lingo!!!
# 59). Freddie Prinze Jr. was originally going to play Dracula:
Joss nods emphatically and tells us there will also be another vampire making his way to Sunnydale. The legendary Dracula.
"Dracula?"
"He's the most notorious vampire ever!" Joss exclaims. "Of course I have to corrupt that! Besides, I blame Sarah Michelle Gellar completely. She came to us, telling us that Freddie Prinze Jr. wanted a role on Buffy and he reminds me of Dracula! He's got the eyebrows, the toothy smile, and he's gorgeous, so yeah. It's her fault."
"So, Freddie will be playing Dracula?" Susan inquires.
"Nope. That fell through because Fred's got movie offers coming out his ears, but we've cast a familar face in the role. And let's just say-- we know that it will be believable when the seduction of Buffy begins."
"Care to elaborate?"
"What was I saying?" Joss sounds genuinely confused, then yawns. "I have to go wash my car soon. I was driving down the freeway and I hit a bird. But don't print that. I don't want to sound like a killer."
# 58). Poems relating to Dawn: "Little Miss Muffet, counting down 7-3-0" - Faith, "Graduation", In "Restless", the clock in Buffy's dream was wrong. It read 7:30. During "Real Me", a strange man approached Dawn: "I know you...curds and whey...I know what you are... You don't belong here."
