David Boreanaz (pronounced /bɔːriˈænəz/, Italian: [boɾeˈaːnad͡z]; born May 16, 1969) is an American actor, television producer, and director, known for his role as Angel on the supernatural drama series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, and as Special Agent Seeley Booth on the television crime drama Bones.

Early life

David Boreanaz was born on May 16, 1969 in Buffalo, New York and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his father, Dave Roberts (né Boreanaz), was a weatherman for ABC-owned WPVI-TV channel 6, and his mother, Patti Boreanaz, is a travel agent.[1] He is of Italian descent on his father's side (the surname Boreanaz is of Northern Italian origin).[2][3][4] His mother is of half Slovak and half Irish, German, French, and Swiss descent.[5][6]

Boreanaz attended Rosemont School of the Holy Child in his early years and then high school at Malvern Preparatory School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and went to college at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York.[7] After graduating, Boreanaz moved to Hollywood, California to pursue an acting career.

Career

David Boreanaz's first paid acting appearance was a 1993 guest spot on the American sitcom, Married... with Children, as Kelly's two-timing biker boyfriend, who gets pummeled by her father, Al.[8] He was cast in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after being suggested for the role to Marti Noxon by one of Boreanaz's neighbors, after walking his dog past their house.[9] In the cult series, he played the mysterious Angel, a vampire cursed with a soul as punishment for his past sins. The show became enormously successful and Boreanaz starred in a spin-off series, Angel, which gave the character a chance to evolve and concentrated on Angel's battle for redemption for the sins he committed before he regained his soul. He appeared on Buffy from 1997 to 1999, at which point he began starring in Angel, which ran until 2004, with some guest appearances on Buffy after his departure.

Boreanaz's only starring role in a major theatrical film was in 2001's slasher horror film, Valentine, alongside Denise Richards and Katherine Heigl. In 2002, he had a supporting role in a Lifetime television movie titled I'm with Lucy. In 2003, he appeared in the music video for singer Dido's hit single "White Flag", and was the voice of Leon (Squall Leonhart) in the video game Kingdom Hearts, but he did not reprise his role in the sequel. In 2005, Boreanaz began starring opposite Emily Deschanel on the current prime time television series, Bones. He also appeared in These Girls, a Canadian film in which he played a biker; the film received a limited theatrical release in Canada in March 2006, after premiering at the Toronto Film Festival and the Vancouver International Film Festival. He has also starred in the independent films Mr. Fix It and Suffering Man's Charity (released on DVD as Ghost Writer), as well as the direct-to-DVD sequel The Crow: Wicked Prayer in which he starred alongside Tara Reid. In 2006, he starred in another DVD release, The Hard Easy, which also starred Nick Lachey.

In that same year, he also voiced Hal Jordan in the direct to video DC Comics animated feature Justice League: The New Frontier. In the season three finale of his TV series Bones, Boreanaz's character Seeley Booth is seen in his bathtub reading an issue of Green Lantern, the character he voiced in that feature.

As well as being a producer on Bones since its third season, Boreanaz also directed a number of episodes, including "The Bones That Foam," "The Parts in the Sum of the Whole," "The Bullet in the Brain," and "The Blackout in the Blizzard." This was his second time as a director; in Angel's fifth and final season Boreanaz directed the episode "Soul Purpose". It has also since been reported by Hart Hanson, the creator of Bones, that Boreanaz has directed and starred in the series' 100th episode airing in the fifth season.[10]

Boreanaz will be starring in independently made fantasy drama Officer Down.[11]

Personal life

Boreanaz with Bergman in 2006.

Family

Boreanaz lives in Los Angeles, California. He was married to Ingrid Quinn from June 7, 1997 to October 1999. He has been married to actress and Playmate Jaime Bergman since November 24, 2001. David and Jaime have a son, Jaden (Jaden Rayne Boreanaz, born on May 1, 2002), and a daughter, Bella[12] (born Bardot Vita Boreanaz on August 31, 2009,[13] her name was later changed to Bella Vita Bardot Boreanaz).[14]

Reconstructive surgery

In 2004, Boreanaz underwent reconstructive surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, a result of a running injury he suffered in high school that was not fully corrected at that time.[15] His recovery did not prevent Angel production from continuing, but did limit his mobility and physical activities in several episodes, including his directorial debut, "Soul Purpose".[16][17]

Marital infidelities

In May, 2010, Boreanaz admitted to multiple infidelities.[18] It was revealed that Boreanaz had an affair with Tiger Woods' former mistress Rachel Uchitel.[19][20][21] Uchitel initially stated that she was not involved with Boreanaz,[22] but later admitted to the affair.[23][24][25]

While on TMZ Live, Uchitel discussed Boreanaz and "her new life as the most famous mistress on the planet."[26] She denied extorting him over their alleged affair although her attorney, Gloria Allred, stated Boreanaz had deceived Uchitel.[27]

In an October 10, 2011, article in the NY Daily News, Boreanaz claimed that his affair with Rachel Uchitel (a former nightclub hostess and one of Tiger Woods' mistresses), has "made my marriage stronger."[28]

Sexual harassment lawsuit

In July 2010, an extra on Bones, Kristina Hagan, sued Boreanaz and 20th Century Fox Television for more than $25,000. She held that Boreanaz had tried to kiss and fondle her several times in August 2009, and sued on claims of sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. In March 2011, Allred said the lawsuit was "resolved" but provided no further details.[29] [30]
