We Almost Had a Very Different Willow on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’

Buffy the Vampire Slayeris truly a television show that's shaped the landscape of....well, TV. In addition to a mix of horror, humor, and heart that won over a long-lasting fanbase, Buffy the Vampire Slayer writers have gone on to shape other genre hits, including Battlestar Galactica, Daredevil, and Lost. But none of that would be possible without its cast, as Buffy the Vampire Slayer boasts arguably one of the best ensemble casts in television history. It turns out that one of those characters could have been very different, especially considering Alyson Hannigan wasn't the first choice for Buffy's best friend, Willow Rosenberg.
