Alyson Hannigan reveals what Alexis Denisof is upto these days.
She says that she's trying to convince him "to go for comedy because he's very funny, but he's more secure with the one-hour drama. I'm like, "Come on, honey - just try the comedy."
Personally, I could watch Alexis on the telly till the cows come home. Anyone ever see the cut scene from Waiting in the Wings on the Angel season 3 DVD? Pure comedy.

And as for comedy/drama for Alexis, I'd love to see him in something that allows both, because as funny as he could be, he looked hot as the Marlboro Man! (And the great acting abilities of course, but sexy much!)

Alyson referenced him being in a pilot series, perhaps I'm behind on my gossip, but what show is it?
spitefairy | February 02, 07:29 CET
I'm like spitefairy, I'd prefer Alexis in an hour loung drama, but it'd be nice to see him in a comedy also, just to see those great acting chops at work.
BurkleFreak | February 02, 07:32 CET
He is equally amazing in comedy or drama. I would watch him in anything. I just hope whatever project he ends up with is worthy of him.

Maybe the chances of Veronica Mars being picked up for a second season would be 100% if they hire Alexis and Alyson.

I'm with AD; I'd rather watch an hour long dramedy, but as others have said, I'd watch AD reading the Yellow Pages.

Keep pushing him, Aly, to do comedy!

As in "He's got his Pierce Brosnaney eyes all over my Cordy!"?
And I take your point cj, though I have always assumed that when casting a show the producers, showrunners, the network and the like make the big decisions, cast the leads and so on, while the casting people do the smaller roles and guest spots.
I would have hoped AD would be in a position, and have a rep, that would make showrunners say "I want Denisof!".
As others have said, watch his first Buffy episodes and then watch Angel S3 and 4 and try to tell me that mans not a great actor!

I second that, Looking.

Angel TheVampire | February 02, 13:11 CET
Damn it, Willowy, I was gonna say that. You beat me to it!

Just based on JW and AD's personal friendship, I'm hopeful we'll see AD in something Whedon sometime.

-- a sweet, bumbling Hugh Grant-ish suitor for Grace on Will and Grace;
-- a conceited surgeon who attracts Eliot on Scrubs;
-- Jack Bauer's British intelligence liaison on 24; OR
-- a CIA liaison on MI-5/Spooks
-- Vaughn's long-lost stubbly cousin on Alias or
-- any one of a million flashback roles on LOST
Come on, casting directors! This guy can do anything and we should be seeing him everywhere! (Stupid Hollywood.)

I second Willowy's and ESG's sentiments. Alexis is, and always has been, one of my favorite Angel actors (loved him on BtVS too, but i always felt like it was Angel where he really came into his own...). The extra ballet daydream sequence is priceless, but how can you not love Alexis in everything he does – from darkside Wesley ('I'll take away your bucket...") to the truly bumbling watcher/rogue demon hunter moments.
He's one of the Buffyverse actors I most want to see in something else. I'm always a one-hour drama/comedy fan, but i'll take him in anything...

I would die if that happens. I could see Ruth falling in love with him.

A lot of young people are experimenting with shortness. Gotta nip that in the bud.
zz9 | February 02, 16:37 CET
Not saying I wouldn't mind AD headlining his own thing. He's certainly got talent, the skills and the, y'know, hotness, I just don't think he's got the mainstream credentials yet to carry a show by himself. Which is maybe why he should listen to his lovely wife and consider doing comedy, if he can find something that's actually funny and well-written -- more ensemble-y, where he can play off others while building his visibility. Drama would be my first choice, too, but hey. Experimentation (with things besides shortness :) could lead to amazing things, and open up some fresh avenues for him.
Man, I'd love it if he turned up on Lost....
What do you wanna bet that all our Whedon-people are missing Joss this pilot season?
Wiseblood | February 02, 19:09 CET
But really, I'm waiting for another dramatic role. Gimme some of that Dark Wes magic over comedy any day.
