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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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.
