Mercedes McNab

Auditioned for the role of "Buffy" on Buffy, la cazavampiros (1997) but lost out to Sarah Michelle Gellar. Like a number of other actresses who tried out for the part (Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), Julie Benz (Darla) & Elizabeth Anne Allen (Amy)), she was given another role on the series, Harmony Kendall. The character made 15 guest appearances on the show over 5 years and played a pivotal role on the spinoff, Angel (1999).

[About the cancellation of Buffy, la cazavampiros (1997)] I was a little disappointed. The show was a part of my life for six years, so to have that taken away was kind of a bummer.
