Who is Nicholas Brendon? - Info, News, Q&A
Most of this is pilfered from NB.com (hope Monique doesn't mind).
Biography: Nicholas Brendon, who portrays the sardonic "Xander" on Buffy the Vampire Slayer with sensitivity and humor, turned to acting when his aspirations of playing pro baseball were squelched by a serious arm injury. Nicholas first appeared on television in a handful of commercials and series guest spots. Feeling slightly disenchanted with Hollywood, he took a personal hiatus to play the "real life" roles of medical student, production assistant, plumber's assistant, veterinary janitor, food delivery guy, script delivery guy, day care counselor and waiter (at approximately 13 different establishments). Nicholas was fired from all but one of the aforementioned positions. During his seventh year in the F&B (Food and Beverage service for the layman), he decided to give acting another go; thankfully for his TV fans (and restaurant managers), after two months of auditioning, he landed the role of Xander in the now hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and hung up his apron for good. . . he hopes. Off screen, the LA native enjoys quality time with his loved ones, Dodger games, a good book, a nice Chianti, the idea of learning to surf and play the piano, rollerblading, writing poetry and daydreaming of world travel and philanthropy while watching anything on A&E. [img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Vital Stats [img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Height: 5'11" Eyes: Hazel Birthday: April 12, 1971 About his name: Brendon is his middle name. That's why he and his twin brother, Kelly Donovan, are credited with different last names. Nicholas would prefer that his last name remain private so please if you know it, don't post it here. Brothers: Kelly (the older twin), Christian, Kyle. Marital status: Married to actress/writer Tressa di Figlia on Sept. 1, 2001. Charitable acts: Nicholas is serving as the honorary chairperson for the Stuttering Foundation of America again this year, after a successful campaign in 2001. Feature Films • Demon Island (2002): Kyle • Psycho Beach Party (2000): Starcat Television • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997): Xander LaVelle Harris • Married... with Children: "Guy in Ray-Ray's gang" ("Hood in the Boyz") • Secret Lives: Series regular • Dave's World: Guest star Any news of up-coming appearances, interviews etc. should go here, also if you have any questions about Nicky - ask away [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [ 10-17-2002: Message edited Mr. Impatient ] __________________

He also had a small part in Children of the Corn III, as a basketball player.
And, I haven't heard anything about his other brothers. __________________

I was lurking on the old "Pinata" thread before Fan Forum went down. I wanted to let you guys know that if you're interested in seeing a cast commentary with the cast, there's a news item on it here.

BBC Cult - Buffy
After years in distribution deal hell, Nicholas Brendon's horror film Pinata will finally make it to (Region One) DVD in January. Retitled, Pinata: Survival Island, the film teams Nick with Star Trek: Voyager's Garrett Wang and Jaime Pressly (Not Another Teen Movie) for a tale of teens dying horribly on a desert island. With a tagline of "A Weekend To Dismember" you know what you're going to get, but we're not revealing if Nick goes to pieces before the conclusion. The film, which also features Nick's wife Tressa, is released on 28th January 2002. __________________
