Julie on working with David

Julie Benz (Darla) spoke of working with her co-star David Boreanaz:
“I’ve gotten to do some amazing work with David Boreanaz. He really is one of my favourite acting partners and we’ve had a lot of laughs, we’ve had a lot of tears. When you work with somebody like that throughout a six year timespan, you really start clicking and gelling together. It becomes really easy and you start knowing your rhythms and it just makes work so much easier.
Working with David, I always call him my truth meter because I can gnaw the scenery and be big and dramatic and over the top, and he’s very quiet, so he can bring me down. He’ll tell me, “Okay, hold it back,” and I know that I’ve been gnawing on the scenery and just ripping it up.”
