Its an excellent video... But I don't know. May be in another universe as Charisma did audition for Buffy didn't she?! Wonder if the show would have still taken off... Is it the script and wit etc, or was it Sarah?

Yes, I'd heard that they originally had been thinking of going with Charisma as Buffy. But I wonder if they'd wanted her to go blonde or something. Joss has said that his vision was turning the petite, helpless blonde stereotype on it's ear.
Does anyone know the story? Did Charisma just read for the Buffy part, or was she also seriously considered for the part?

I think that I read that it was that Joss originally wanted Sara Michelle Geller to play Cordelia but after Sara's screen test, Joss thought that Sara would make a better Buffy...I may be wrong

Sarah audition for the role of Buffy but producers thought that Cordelia suited her more since it was a similar role to her work on All My Children and gave her that part. She continued to read and do screen test when they couldn't come up with anyone for Buffy and then Joss saw her and went with Sarah.

I think that at the time, Charisma couldn't have carried the show the way Gellar did. I think a lot of the show getting a second season was to have a professional actress like Gellar holding the acting side together.

Hmmm. That's interesting. I think with what we know now about Charisma's acting ability, she possibly could have been a good lead.....or it could be that i'm just partial to brunettes.
