Editing David Boreanaz (section)

==Career==
Boreanaz moved to Los Angeles with a degree in filmmaking, but found, like many other struggling actors, gaining work initially difficult. Boreanaz slept on a couch at his sister's place, visiting film sets and doing production assistant work to learn more about the industry in which he hoped to be more involved. He was a [[background extra]] in the 1993 film ''[[Aspen Extreme]]'' as a fan waving at skiers. He also prepared props for ''[[Best of the Best II]]'' (also released in 1993), which stars [[Eric Roberts]], where he also had a small uncredited role; Boreanaz is seen briefly standing to the left, as the characters Tommy Lee and Alex enter a nightclub (which is a front for an illegal fighting ring).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sites.google.com/site/davidboreanaz321/biography/los-angeles |title=David Boreanaz - 3.

Boreanaz's first paid acting appearance was a 1993 guest spot on the American sitcom ''[[Married... with Children]]'', as [[Kelly Bundy|Kelly]]'s unfaithful biker boyfriend, who gets pummeled by her father, Al.<ref>Rizzo, Carita.

The show became enormously successful and Boreanaz starred in a spin-off series, ''[[Angel (1999 TV series)|Angel]]'', which gave the character a chance to evolve and concentrated on Angel's battle for redemption for the numerous murders he committed before he regained his soul. He appeared on ''Buffy'' from 1997 to 1999, when he began starring in ''Angel'', which ran until 2004, with a recurring role on ''Buffy'' after his departure. He also appeared in the film ''Macabre Pair of Shorts'', wherein he plays a vampire's victim (in the segment "MPS").
