Nikki Wood - Casting

Casting

Nikki's first appearance, in "Fool for Love", was a fight scene with no dialogue; she was portrayed by stuntwoman April Weeden-Washington. When the character was brought back in "First Date", the casting directors preferred a younger actress, who could seem more like a vulnerable teenage mother, and hired K.D. Aubert.

Nikki thus joined Buffy Summers and the First Evil as characters in the Buffyverse that have been portrayed by more than one actor (not counting stunt doubles).

Famous quotes containing the word casting:

    Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.
    Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

    For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    All we know
    Is that we are a little early, that
    Today has that special, lapidary
    Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
    Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
    Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
