| Emma Caulfield |
| A far cry from the manipulative demon who gave Codelia a fateful wish, Emma Caulfield takes life and career in stride. Great looks. Electric talent Obsessed with who's getting what part, and how much their getting paid to do it. Sounds like the standard requirements for most actors and actresses right? Thats not entirely true when it comes to Emma Caulfield, the laid back actress, who has brought life to the devious Anyanka in Buffy. Sure, she's got the knock-out prerequisite covered. If more demons looked like her, we'd set up shop in the Hellmouth and take our chances. By Matt Springer She's also got the skills to be convincing in an array of roles, from the eternally bitter patron of scorned women to the wide-eyed love-interest of eternally sideburned 'Brandon Walsh' on Beverly Hills, 90210. Where she veers from the frazzled actor stereotype, however, is with her infectious easy-going vibe. Off-camera, Caulfield seems completely at peace in the centre of otherwise tense and fast paced show business world going on around her. "I still get crazy from time to time; I still obsess from time to time. I mean, who am I kidding? I am neurotic. There's no escaping that. I don't know any actor who really isn't. There just comes a point where you just have to let go" says Caulfield. "I suppose it is a very Zen attitude towards the business, I didn't used to have this attitude - I used to drive myself insane. I just realised one day that life is too short. There's no point in obsessing over the things you don't have. Everybody in this business, I think, is where their supposed to be." Lately Caulfield's place to be has been Sunnydale, CA. She debuted in Season three's standout episode 'The Wish' as Anya, a new girl at Sunnydale High, with great taste in accessories who turned out to be a misguided 1120 year old demon, who's flunking math. Her amulet gave Cordelia the power to transform the Universe as if Buffy had never cme to Sunnydale, creating a city where the Master never died and the Vampires had taken over. When her amulet was destroyed by the alternate Giles, her powers were stripped, trapping her in mortal form. Though her character is sorry to be stranded on earth, Caulfield is thrilled that Anya has survived the show. "As far as I know, I don't think [Joss Whedon] ever intended to have Anya around for more than one episode" she recalls. Interviews Next |
