Julie Benz Is A Beauty
Here are a couple really great pics of actress Julie Benz, who will be appearing in the 5th installment of the Saw horror movie franchise and who will also be appearing in the upcoming 3rd season of the Showtime series Dexter … and who Buffyverse fans will recognize as Darla in both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, out and about here in SoCal running a few errands:
I gotta say … Julie Benz does not get as much play as she should. I’ve loved the girl since her Buffy days and even tho it took me a very long time to see her as anything other than Darla (I know, it was unhealthy) I have really come to appreciate her acting skills in other projects. She is wonderful in Dexter … she plays the character of Rita perfectly and I’m very excited to see how her character will grow in the upcoming new season of the show. I’m a bit nervous about seeing Ms. Benz in Saw V only cuz I don’t want to see her get chopped up into pieces … I’m hoping she’ll be one of the last characters left standing at the end of the movie. Yeah, I came upon these pics and I felt it was due time to show her a bit of love here on the blog … I know I’m not alone. Where my Julie Benz peoples at?

no tv show will ever replace Buffy and Angel for me; Although Dexter comes close.
What is Joss whedon doing these days?
PS: am the only one who wishes that Michael C Hall’s charater was gay in Dexter?

Love Julie only as Rita…sad to say but I never got into Buffy.
I agree with your thoughts Trent. It would be awesomeness to have Julie reign supreme for a couple of Saw movies.
As for Dexter being gay…nah…can’t see it, wouldn’t prefer it. He’s such a lovable serial killer and even more mysterious and sexy in the books. Me likes just the way he is.

I could never get into Dexter, but I loved Buffy and Angel. I really miss seeing the shows on tv :( Altough I still have my Buffy and Angel marathon weekends :)

Ahh… the first ever vampire to show her fangs on Buffy! Good times. She looks amazing! I also like her as the secretary on “As Good as it Gets” in a very small role (that was her, right?).
I’m typing this and my “Darla” action figure is keeping watch… I’m unhealthy too hey? haha

She looks amazing! I am Buffy and Angel fan, can’t wait for Dexter to start in Sept!! I’ve been watching the old ones on my DVR.
Doesn’t Joss Whedon has a new show “dollhouse” coming next Jan starring the other vampire slayer?

I love Dexter! She also played in Jawbreaker as Foxy.

Liz , you mean that Eliza dushku? the show that has been on the pipeline for years? will it go the same way of the so called ripper show that he was Meant to be making for the bbc starring anthony head?
i’m sick and tired of getting my hopes up then have them be crashed again.
JW HAS NO FILM OR TV CAREER AT THE MOMENT WHICH, IN MY OPINION, IS A FUCKING TRAVESTY.

i was all about dexter from the very start and i JUST started watching buffy (yeah, i know. i’m about 56.782038576 years late with that…) but i saw her on buffy and was like “hey! that’s rita!!!!” she’s fantastic in whatever she does.
p.s. does this mean that, after i’m done with buffy, i have to watch angel, too? well… christmas is right around the corner…right?

I LOVE Julie Benz! I’m just like you that it was hard to see her as anything other than Darla (same with Bones…just seems so odd seeing David Boreanz in the daylight!) but just love her in Dexter. The show is brillant and so is she! Thanks for showing some Julie pics!

Julie Benz is completely amazing.
I was SO EXCITED when I saw her on Dexter when my roommate made me watch it for the first time :)
Granted, at that point I’d only seen the first five seasons of Buffy (sue me, I was like 8 when it started) and none of Angel, but Darla is just that cool.

I met Julie Benz a few years ago and she was just stunning in person and incredibly sweet and kind.
