11 Amazing Times Actors Played Other Actors Playing Characters
6. Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The Players: Sarah Michelle Gellar playing Eliza Dushku playing each other
Mode Of Body Swap: Magical body-swapping thing that looks like a hand buzzer
Nobody embodied Y2K-era teen angst and attitude quite like Eliza Dushku’s Faith on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Cold, impulsive, quippy in all the wrong ways, she’s the perfect foil for the adorably sassy yet always good-natured Buffy. She is the unBuffy.
Faith had a close relationship with Sunnydale’s demon mayor, which was at times super weird and creepy, yet other times kind of heartwarming. After turning into a giant snake and getting exploded by Buffy and her Scooby Squad, the Mayor still has one last posthumous gift to give Faith– a hand buzzer looking thingy that will allow her to switch bodies with Buffy.
Of all the things he could have left her, this can’t be what she was hoping for. But it makes for a pretty entertaining 46 minutes of television.
