Playing a goat slayer on Angel
Tim Minear, who wrote that episode (Reprise), asked me as a favour. He knew about my background as an actor. He wanted it to be funny [and] he knew I was a comedic actor. He wrote the part a little straight and he said "Love for you to do it," and I said "I’ll do it if you do the other guy."
He completely balked at playing the other guy, my partner, but still suckered me into doing it. I had a great time, so much so that they’ve been talking about bringing back the goat slayer [in] a little spin off. Goat Slayer - watch for it on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ in two years, right after The Watcher, starring Tony Head.
Perhaps you should team up with Numfar, the character Joss Whedon played in Angel?
Numfar and the Goat Slayer - writes itself (laughs) - which is good, because I don’t want to write that. The other big treat is that I’m doing a cameo on Buffy this year, so I’m very excited about that. [It's] a little musical episode we’re doing.
Do you get to sing in that?
I get to sing. That’s my whole background, I used to do musical comedy so get to do a little singing.
