Sarah Michelle Gellar might have played a character with superhuman agility on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but the actor is not quite as coordinated in real life. She stays in shape and is trained in martial arts, but she is also a self-proclaimed klutz. Gellar's clumsiness has caused more than one injury in her lifetime, but she was never in and out of the hospital more frequently than she was during her time on the physically (and emotionally) perilous set of her hit CW series. But she is a professional first and foremost, and she isn't one to let an injury slow her down. In fact, on a particularly busy day filming "Buffy" season 3, Gellar wouldn't even let a hospital visit get in the way of her work.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is back in the spotlight after a few years of relative silence. Her new series Wolf Pack is making big waves. The actor, who became a cultural icon after the popularity of her ’90s breakout Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has remained closely associated with the series over the years, with many fans turning to her to set the record straight regarding the show’s controversies. Still, there’s one incident that Gellar is planning to keep her silence on — and that’s the scandal involving Buffy creator Joss Whedon, who was the target of some very concerning allegations.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is one of the best TV shows of all time, but by this point, the Joss Whedon series is as infamous as it is famous. The seven-season coming-of-age series is about finding family and support as much as it is about slaying vamps, so it's always hard to reconcile the show fans loved with the hypocritical behaviors apparently on display on set.
In the years since the show has ended, several actors and colleagues have spoken up about alleged mistreatment from Whedon. Charisma Carpenter, who played mean girl Cordelia, released a statement alleging that the series writer-creator was "casually cruel" to her on several occasions, especially with regards to her pregnancy. Whedon's ex-wife Kai Cole also penned a blog post for The Wrap calling the writer, who was lauded as a groundbreaking feminist voice of television, a hypocrite for hiding "multiple affairs and a number of...

One of the few good things you can say about the current state of the entertainment industry is that it’s gradually becoming less of a safe haven for abusers. One of the latest set of allegations, levelled against one-time geek god Joss Whedon, have now been furthered by a stunt team couple from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Sophia Crawford, who performed as Sarah Michelle Gellar’s stunt double throughout Buffy’s first four seasons, and Jeff Pruitt, who was the series’ stunt coordinator from the beginning of season 2 to the end of season 4, met on the show’s set and began dating. Pruitt eventually found the working environment untenable and left the series after Whedon grew into “a real egomaniac who believed his own hype” and “tensions grew and certain members of the crew began to plot against each other.”
Crawford was asked to return to continue portraying the blonde badass’ more dangerous moments,...

These days we see a lot of behind the scenes videos and featurettes for movies. It has become part of the marketing campaign from the studios. They didn't really do this kind of thing back in the day, but we've got something for all of you die-hard Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans! This incredibly fun 30-minute behind the scenes video is sure to make fans of the series giddy. I had a great time watching this!
The video was uploaded by stunt coordinator Jeff Pruitt, and it's from the second season. It features several members of the cast and crew, and includes footage of stunts, fighting, shooting scenes, costumes, and lots of fun goofiness.
Here's a explanation of the video:
During season 2 we were trying to promote the show so I had various crew and cast members talk to the camera directly to the fans. This was a time before...
