TV And Movie Roles That Were Recast: Did You Know That These Stars Were the Original Choice for Your Favorite Film?
Riff Regan – Alyson Hannigan – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Alyson wasn’t the first choice for playing Rosenberg in the much-popular and cult-classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The role first went to Riff Regan. Riff could have done wonders to the character too, but as per producers- she appeared a little ‘too self-confident’ which was a turn-off!
Alyson stunned the world with her portrayal as Willow Rosenberg in the show. Later on, she appeared in other noteworthy roles like Lily Aldrin in ‘How I met your Mother’, for which she got the People’s Choice Award too. Then she starred in the ‘American Pie’ film series. She also excelled as a TV presenter, especially with the show ‘Penn & Teller: Fool Us’.
Originally the supernatural drama television series premiered in 1997, 5 years after the release of the film.
