David Paul Boreanaz (born May 16, 1969) is an American film and television actor. He is perhaps best known for his role on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, as the character Angel. Since fall of 2005, he has played the male lead, Seeley Booth, on Bones, opposite Emily Deschanel. David Boreanaz made a name for himself playing a blood-sucking vampire with a soul on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (1997-2003) and “Angel” (1999-2004) as well as a former Army sniper who keeps company with decomposing corpses on “Bones” (2005-). Onscreen and offscreen, the actor endeared himself to legions of fans pleased to discover that the ripped actor who was no stranger to “Sexiest People” tabloid lists was a dog-loving, down-to-earth guy who cited his Philadelphia weatherman father as one of his biggest influences. With each film role that showed his comedic or guy-next-door capacity, he was successfully able to dodge an eternity of special appearances at Sci-Fi conventions. Barely a year after Angel’s demise, the FX network thought he would be perfect in the role of Special Agent Seeley Booth – FBI homicide investigator and foil to forensic pathologist Dr. Temperence Brennan (Emily Deschanel) in the medical mystery series, “Bones.” Booth was all about old-fashioned detective work and Brennan staunchly scientific and not surprisingly, never the twain would they meet. Boreanaz continued to build his film resume with a starring role opposite Anne Heche in the Alan Cumming black comedy “Suffering Man’s Charity.” His low-profile personal life included involvement with PETA charities and marriage to model and former “Son of the Beach” (FX, 2000-01) star, Jamie Bergman, whom he married in 2001. David Boreanaz was born on May 16th, 1969 in Buffalo, New York and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his father, Dave Roberts (David Thomas Boreanaz), is a weatherman for channel WPVI-TV; his mother, Patti Boreanaz, is a travel agent. He is of Italian descent and the surname Boreanaz is of Northern Italian origin. He was raised Catholic. Boreanaz attended high school at Malvern Preparatory School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and went to college at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York. After graduating, Boreanaz moved to Hollywood, California to pursue an acting career. Boreanaz's first acting appearance was a guest spot on the hit American sitcom, Married... with Children, as Kelly's biker boyfriend. He was cast in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after being spotted by a producer whilst walking his dog. In the cult series, he played the mysterious Angel, a vampire with a soul. The show became enormously successful and Boreanaz starred in a spin-off series, Angel, which gave the character a chance to evolve and concentrated on Angel's battle for redemption. He appeared on Buffy from 1997 to 1999, at which point he began starring in Angel, which ran until 2004. Totalling all of his appearances on Buffy & Angel, including guest appearances, Boreanaz has the distinction of having appeared in the most episodes of the 2 series by a significant margin. Boreanaz's only starring role in a major theatrical film was in 2001's slasher horror film, Valentine, alongside Denise Richards and Katherine Heigl. In 2003, he appeared in the music video for singer Dido's "White Flag", and was the voice of Leon (aka Squall Leonhart) in the video game Kingdom Hearts, but he did not reprise his role in the sequel. In 2005, Boreanaz began starring opposite Emily Deschanel on the current prime time television series, Bones. He most recently appeared in These Girls, a Canadian film in which he played a biker; the film received a limited theatrical release in Canada in March of 2006, after premiering at the Toronto Film Festival and the Vancouver International Film Festival.
