Notable roles Wesley in Buffy and Angel

Alexis Denisof (born February 25, 1966) is an American actor of Russian descent, who is best known for playing Wesley Wyndam-Pryce in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel.

Wesley's character was first introduced in Buffy the Vampire Slayer season three as Buffy Summers' replacement Watcher. He later showed up in season one of Angel, and became a regular character in that series from episode 11.

Although Denisof is an American, born in Salisbury, Maryland, he lived and worked in Britain for a number of years. He was the fight director for a stage production of Hamlet and in 1991 before July he was the fight director of The Other Side for the BBC, Romeo and Juliet, and The Soul's Dark Night [1]. Whilst living there he dated the comedienne Caroline Aherne (he is given a special thanks in the credits for The Royle Family) and appeared with Sean Bean in three Sharpe stories. He has done many stage productions, including one with Anthony Stewart Head, who played Wesley's predecessor Rupert Giles on Buffy.

Since 2006, Denisof has had a recurring role as Sandy Rivers on his wife's show How I Met Your Mother.

It was also reported that Denisof was in contention for the role of The Joker in The Dark Knight[2] but this rumour was soon dispelled with the casting of Heath Ledger.

Denisof married Alyson Hannigan, who played Willow Rosenberg in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, on October 11, 2003. They live in Los Angeles, but also have a home in London and reportedly Sacramento.
