I saw a discussion on the IMDB about whether or not Sarah Michelle Gellar should be a guest star in Bones. I don’t think she should, but it got me thinking about the people who have guest starred in bones who were in Buffy or Angel. This was my post:
There have been more in Bones although now I try to remember I can’t. The two that have been said - Adam Baldwin and Groener. There was also the one who played Halfrek (the mother of the little pagaent girl), agh that girl from BtVS season 7 - Cassie? She was the PI for Hodgens and Angela. OH Cordy’s ghost’s Mom. She’s in a lot of things (sometimes as different characters in the same thing). She was the wife of that farmer in the organic farming episode.
I’d say the Groener and Baldwin had a fair amount to do with Boreanaz in Buffy/Angel. I did sit there and wonder if they talked about the good old days. But I guess they weren’t really “regulars” even if they were the big bads of their seasons.
I’m fairly certain there’s at least one more. I’m forever spotting familiar faces.
Just thought I’d add to the list.
As for SMG, her role was such a strong one in Buffy, I think it would be hard for that not to compromise Bones’ role for a lot of people.
