David Boreanaz talks Angel at the 'Bones' TCA Press event.
"He said he "owes a lot to that show."" Via Kristen's transcribed notes.
I so agree with this. He has every right to want to talk about the new job not the old one. I don't think he shows any disrespect to Angel or his experiences on the show. He wants to be hired because of his talent, not a character he played before.
This sounds a lot like AH's experience with her own producers for her new show.
I would love to see David again, but I want this show to be a success even more. I want David to be much more then Angel and to see many more characters.

I am so looking forward to Bones. Wish I could get a few more clips or a video of the entire interview at comic-con. I love AtS and watch it all the time, but its gone except in our hearts and on our DVD's. Now its time for Bones!

David has always been gracious, funny and very friendly at all his con appearences.
Check the internet, the full pilot is around.

He did that thing with James in England, but I can't think of many other cons he's done. Ok, I vaguely remember another con, but I don't know which one it is. I'm honestly asking, (not trying to be flip) because I don't know.
He did strike me as bit miffed when asked about Angel stuff at the Bones panel in SD, but I can understand that since that's not what he was there for. Then again, there's not much you can ask about a show that hasn't even aired(despite making us sit through the first ep whether we wanted to or not!)
But I wouldn't be mad if prospective bosses wanted to talk about my past work, especially if they were fans. I figure if it helps you get the role, I'd talk about it as much as they wanted!
Rogue Slayer | July 28, 18:56 CET
Maybe he has done ten in all?
I think he was more miffed because A) They asked about Jm being on his show, thus trying to keep the Angel connection going. B) He was not the only on at the panel, so he might have felt uncomfortable with his new co-star being excluded. I am not sure why you would go to a Bones panel and be irrated about seeing clips, the presentation pilot and talking about the show over talking about Angel. I am not trying to be rude, but I don't see why you would not want to see this if you went to the panel.
I think , not being him, he was irrated as he was trying to move on past Angel, and would like to find out more about the new show and charactr, then talking about the past while on an interview. After the interview it would be more appropriate time to bring up Angel.
FalenAnjl | July 28, 19:07 CET
I'd get upset too, he goes in for an interview with some producers and they ask him all about Angel. I mean the way he probably seen it was well great their fans so they only see me as Angel and only agreed to this interview cause their fans. Then they bring up Angel non-stop. He probably wanted to talk about how he is more then just Angel and yet they keep asking about it. So he got up and left.

I guess the producers of Bones understood why he walked, since he got the part. So in the end we all get a great new series. And more David.
FalenAnjl | July 28, 19:27 CET
Damn, people just love talking about James don't they. Can't say I blame them. :-) But did they ask about Spike and Angel, or just the prospect of him working with James again. I know I'd love to see these two actors work together again, they had imo the best chemistry of any of the actors in the 'verse.
But even James said at the Halloween Con (only the second event David had done in the UK) that he would love to work with David again on anything, this was during their joint Q&A, but that he would think it would have to be after they had both had other roles after Spike and Angel.
I like David a lot, love him in fact. I was completely won over by him at Halloween. That said, the Angel thing will come up time and time again whether he likes it or not. Like Spike comes up for James and Willow does for Alyson Hannigan. He's just going to have to suck it up and deal with that. It might not be fair, but it will happen. He was the lead of the show, of course it's going to get mentioned.

David has always been work is work and family is family, he never connects the two. It has been said many times he went to work , did his lines and would leave. It was work nothing more, nothing less. He is also friends with CK and ED, but I think they are friends now and not work pals.
I think he was more irrated with the producers, and rightly so, then the SDCC panel, as he was interviewing for a new job, not at a fan forum.
He also went to few of the board parties in the early days.

Angel is what he is most famous for. Famous. For. I wish he could accept it. He always seems so frickin' bored with the whole AtS thing. I understand the 'moving on' concept, of course. It's idiotic to stick him with Angel forever, man needs to make a living and stretch artistically... but show a little graciousness, Dave. This is the first really big thing since Angel. Nobody knows anything about 'Bones' yet.
I hope for his sake that this show does well. I also know that a lot of folks will be tuning in because they are Angel fans. Just wish he could try a bit harder not to alienate his fan base - which frankly are - I'll say it again - Angel fans.

All the old arguments apply... "He doesn't owe us anything"... He simply wanted to focus on his new project"...blah blah. Yes. I. Know.
What I'm saying is, as a fan, I just wish he could go into these things with a bit more good nature. Expecting it, dealing with it, and not getting so dad-gum upset that people still love Angel! Bugs me, s'all...

Have a bit of a hard time drumming up sympathy for 'Freddie'. You married Buffy, dude!
I imagine he has a pretty sweet life. Poor career choices notwithstanding. ;)
Willowy | July 28, 22:01 CET
I was talking about the overall pervasive attitude that seems to arise in these situations with DB. Maybe if you'd been around longer you would have perceived that.

All done now.
And I'm seriously considering placing a moratorium on these little gossipy pieces from Kristen. The last ones from her have been misleading, with quotes taken out of context and really have done the Whedonverse fandom no favours at all.

Yeah remember in 2004 when she said Angel season six was already confirmed, then it gets canceled, where does she get that stuff from.
SeanValen | July 29, 05:39 CET
I might be entirely wrong about this, and I apologise unreservedly if I am. I appreciate that she would seem to be a genuine admirer of the work of Joss Whedon, and a fan of both 'Buffy' and 'Angel'. However, when she says something is "from David's mouth" and then goes on to say, "That's all paraphrased and off of words scribbled on my napkin .... I'll give you a more EXACT recount later, if you like, when I get the transcripts," it doesn't suggest that we can rely on the accuracy of what is being printed.
As to what David Boreanaz is supposed to have said, or implied, I can't personally find anything to be upset about, but that's kind of beside the point.

DB has always come across as a happy go lucky sort of guy and I'd be more curious to hear the details of what set him off, if indeed there is any truth to all this.
That said, I think it would be smarter for his career, even if he doesn't feel this way, to at least pretend to not be bothered by this sort of thing if he is bothered and just go with it. Angel is what he is famous for and maybe Bones will be a big success and he'll then be asked questions having nothing to do with Angel. But for now, that is his fanbase and he should really be catering to that to try and help get his new show off the ground.
Firefly Flanatic | July 29, 12:08 CET
Cuz she knows internet folks want the scoop and often value speed over accuracy!
Rogue Slayer | July 29, 12:15 CET
I know this wasn't a FAN audience, but of course he and the show have fans in the press. I'm just saying, those are a lot of appearances on his plate for Bones, a show that nobody knows about, and no one is likely to care about.
Best of luck to DB, of course, but geez... reality is still a thing to consider.
