David Boreanaz
Ah, the good-guy vampire who wanted to put an end to all of the bad-guy vampires out there. Angel—er, David Boreanaz has done several things in his life before he found his calling in Hollywood. First, he played football for his high school, Malvern Preparatory School, where some said he did quite well.
However, he didn’t do well enough to earn a scholarship to his college of choice. That didn’t bug the future vampire since he had his eyes set on Hollywood even before graduating from high school. He landed the role of Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and he did so well that he got his own spin-off series.
