I sat down with Nicholas Brendon, "Xandar" from the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"TV  series and
currently the hit CBS TV show "Criminal Minds" at the Sacramento Horror & Sci Fi convention on
9/24/2011.  Nicholas was incredibly nice and humble and allowed me to ask him a few questions about his life...

Q- What was one of your favorite moments from the "Buffy" series?

A-  Booking it!  I was 25 years old sitting there waiting to go to breakfast.  I got the call and was really excited.  I was
still hungry so I went on to breakfast, but I ate my omelet with much more verve that day!
Q-  How did you like being a vampire on the "Buffy"  episode entitled, "The Wish"?

A- It was fun for a one-time thing but I prefer being more of the geek on the show.  Being a brooding vampire
wasn't my thing.

Q-  I interviewed Kristy Swanson from the original movie, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", have you ever met her?  

A- No, I haven't, but she's great.

Shannon-  "My great friend Carol Gillis has a huge "Buffy: collection.  She just loves you!"

Nicholas- "Really? Tell her i Love her too!"

Q- Do you have any projects you'd like to  promote?

Q- What does your character do on "Criminal Minds"?  

A- I am a techie.























Shannon- I own a paranormal company called,
H.P.I. International, we do all sorts of paranormal
investigations (headed up by Paul Dale Roberts) and I always ask my interview guests this one thing...

Q- Do you believe in ghosts?

A-  Yes!  Of course.  

Q- Have you ever had anything weird happen to you?

A-  Yeah, but I don't really want to talk about it in public.

Shannon- Understood.

Nicholas-  I really like that show, "Ghost Adventurers".  I was watching it last night (9/23) and Zak and Steve
were investigating this place with a tower.  Steve was up in the tower and they showed this black shadow
figure thing in the camera.  It was spooky.  

Q- would you like me to send you some real ghost evidence from H.P.I.?  

A- Yeah!  

Shannon- Thank you so much for sitting down with me, Nicholas.  I really appreciate the interview and am a
very big fan of your work!  I'll be sending you some ghosty evidence real soon!

Sincerely,
Shannon McCabe
