He is of [[Czechs|Czech]] and [[Italy|Italian]] descent. However, his ancestors are from the Italian-Slovenian border region which accounts for the Boreanaz name. He was raised as a [[Catholic]]. [[Angel (Buffyverse)|Angel]] and [[Seeley Booth]], his two most famous characters, were both raised as Catholics.

In the cult series, he played the mysterious [[Angel (Buffyverse)|Angel]], a vampire with a soul. The show became enormously successful and Boreanaz starred in a [[spin-off]] series, ''[[Angel (TV series)|Angel]]'', which gave the character a chance to evolve and concentrated on Angel's battle for redemption.
