Casting Buffy The Vampire Slayer Reboot

13. Gage Golightly - Faith Lehane

One of the lesser known names on the list, Gage Golightly hasn't had a massive career, but what little work she has had has show audiences a brilliant actress begging for her one big role.

That role could just be Faith Lehane, the rogue Slayer who was originally played by Eliza Dushku.

To play Faith, we need an actress who can be tough and charismatic, cruel and dangerous - but also sensitive and a good person deep, deep down. Aside from looking the part and sitting in the right age range, Golightly's performance as messed-up werewolf Erica Reyes on the show Teen Wolf is a perfect example of what she could bring to the role of Faith.

As Erica, Golightly was violent, impulsive, cruel but a genuinely good person overcome with power for the first time in her life.

Sound familiar? It's meant to be.
