Ethan Erickson, who played Percy West, started out as a gymnast before turning to acting. Joss Whedon gave Ethan his role on Buffy after he performed a back-flip at his audition. Ethan dated Rose McGowan in 1998. He appeared on an episode of Friends (as Dirk in ‘The One With The Soap Opera Party’).

And now he introduces a show made up of trailers from upcoming movies, on the U.S. entertainment channel, E!
He sits at a desk, he looks at the camera, he recites, well-rehearsed quips, he smiles. Poor Percy. Too bad he didn’t pay more attention when Willow was trying to improve his mind.

I was watching the tv show with movie trailers the other day (god I need a life) and I was very disappointed to report that Ethan Erickson has been replaced by a blonde girl.

Season 7, episode 11, when the gang is trying to figure out how to kill the Turok-Han, Buffy says “…We know stakes don’t kill it, but anything in those ancient books about what does? Sunlight, fire, germs?”

He has his own show on E! or something. It looks stupid. But this is the TV network that brought us ‘Taradise,’ so what can you expect …
