Felicia Day (born June 28, 1979 in Huntsville, Alabama) is an American actress, known for her work as "Vi" on TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and for parts in movies such as Bring It On Again and June. She is also the star, script writer and producer of the YouTube based web series The Guild, which won the Greenlight Award for Best Original Digital Series Production at the South by Southwest festivals,[1] the YouTube Video Award for Best Series,[2] and the Yahoo! Video Award for Best Series.[3]
Personal life
Her father was a United States Air Force doctor. Day was home-schooled throughout her childhood and teenage years as her family moved from place to place throughout the South. She has one brother, Ryon Day, who is currently a software engineer. Day's acting career began at the early age of 7 when she starred as "Scout" in a local production of To Kill a Mockingbird. Day has also studied ballet professionally, as well as being an accomplished violinist, and has performed at nationwide concerts and competitions.
Education
Going straight from home-schooling to college at an early age, Day chose to major in mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, despite having been accepted to the Juilliard School of Music. She graduated with the highest honors, and was also the student speaker at her department's convocation.
Career
After graduation, Day moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. She landed several roles in various short and independent films, as well as commercials and guest spots on television shows, including Undeclared and Maybe It's Me. These parts propelled her to larger roles: a part in the film Bring It On Again, the starring role in June, and a recurring guest spot as potential Slayer "Vi" on television's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
She is the creator, star and writer of the web series The Guild, which is hosted primarily on YouTube.
In July 2008, Day starred as the ingenue in the three part web based musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (created by Joss Whedon, who also created Buffy the Vampire Slayer).[4]
Day has also completed filming an episode as a patient in Season 5 of the medical drama House M.D.
