Charisma Carpenter talks Buffy, Butterfinger Defense League and Expendables – PopWrap

For seven years Charisma Carpenter was a crucial cog in the epic fight against vampires, demons and the forces of evil on “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Angel.” Now she’s taking the ass-kicking skills absorbed during her time as Cordelia to chase away a new, potentially more dangerous foe: candy thieves.

Yes, the war against those who seek to lay a finger on your Butterfinger just got three new allies, as Lou “Hulk” Ferrigno, Erik Estrada and Charisma founded The Butterfinger Defense League.

And while everyone waits with baited (chocolate-laced) breath for her debut Defense video, PopWrap chatted with Charisma about a couple other hot topics. Notably her time in the Scooby-Gang, a possible reunion with Joss Whedon and making out with Jason Statham.

I-CON 29: A Q&A with Charisma Carpenter
By Brittany Wait

With a tattoo of Aslan from Narnia inked on her ankle, she walked in.

The crowd applauded her entrance as she lifted herself up on the stage and sat at the edge. “Just going to sit right here. Hi! I’m here for a Q & A and if anyone has any questions, have at it. Please, someone ask me a question.”

Charisma Carpenter visited Stony Brook University this weekend to talk about her experience in science-fiction shows and films at the 29th I-CON. Fans know her best as Cordelia, a chipper but snobbish cheerleader, in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” But she left the show to take a more prominent role in the spin-off, “Angel.” She played minor roles in “Boy Meets World” and the short-lived “Malibu Shores,” and could potentially play a mediocre role in director Sylvester Stallone’s “Expendables.” She mentioned that she was miffed that the creators of “Buffy” killed her off the show before her character could fully develop.

According to Ausiello at EW.com, there’s a possiblity Charisma may be reprising her role as Tegan Walker in the upcoming fourth, and possibly final, season of Greek.

Question: Please could you serve up a tasty helping of Greek scoop? —Kelly R.
Ausiello: The show’s just-announced, 10-episode fourth season — slated to debut later this summer — will most likely be its last. “That is the plan,” confirms series creator Sean Smith, who hopes to lure back some old faves like Charisma Carpenter and Michael Rady for the final stretch. “We’re all looking at this as an opportunity to come back, wrap up the show, and end strong. ABC Family could’ve ended it, but they gave us this opportunity and I don’t want to squander it.” Meanwhile, an ABC Family spokesperson insists buzz that Dilshad Vadsaria (Rebecca) is leaving the show (perhaps to star in a new pilot) is not true. The rep says all of Greek’s regulars will be back for season 4.
