“I had asked prior to my getting to work, “So who will I be working with?” and they said Sarah Michelle Gellar and I said, “Yes, I’ve seen the show, I know who she is, but who is she? What’s her background?” And they said very nicely to me, “Oh, she’s a 19-year-old soap opera actress.” And I, being somewhat of a snob, said to myself, oh, great, I have to work with a soap opera actress and… and a 19-year-old to boot. So I had rather a bad taste in my mouth….
After about four or five episodes of doing ‘Buffy’, I came to realize that Sarah Michelle Gellar was perhaps one of the finest actresses I had ever worked with… we didn’t talk much because Sarah was a very busy lady. Which I understood. And after about the fourth or fifth episode, I walked over to Sarah’s trailer, knocked on the door. She was enormously surprised to see me, really only knowing me as Snyder and not as Armin. And I said, “Sarah… I was wrong. I thought you were a 19-year-old soap opera actress and this was going to not be much fun. And I’ve come to realize what an enormously talented woman you are and I’m looking forward to all our future scenes together.” And after that moment, I venture to say, Sarah and I became very, very good friends.”

Loved this quote from the actor who played Snyder.
