Seth Green played guitarist and werewolf Oz in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Like many of his Buffy co-stars, Seth started acting as a child in commercials. Seth then appeared in a few movies including playing the boyfriend of Alyson Hannigan’s character in My Stepmother is an Alien. Jodie Foster’s production company, Egg Pictures, is named after Green’s character in The Hotel New Hampshire, in which she also starred. Seth became famous playing Oz in Buffy and playing Scott Evil in the Austin Powers movies. Seth was the voice of Chris in the cartoon Family Guy, for which he also sang the theme song. Seth has also been in Idle Hands, Pump up the Volume (with Juliet Landau), Can’t Hardly Wait, America’s Sweethearts, Rat Race, The Italian Job, Greg the Bunny, Party Monster and Without A Paddle. Seth appeared in several episodes of season 7 of That’s 70’s Show as the character Mitch.
Seth contributed guitar tracks on Velvet Chain’s The Buffy E.P. for the song ‘Buffy’, and appears in the album credits. Seth Green has also performed with the band on stage.
Alyson Hannigan starred in the film My Stepmother is An Alien, and Seth played her on-screen boyfriend. Jim Doughan, who played the Driver’s Ed. teacher in 1.03 The Witch also had a part in the film.
Seth appeared in the original Buffy movie, but his scene was cut out. He can still be seen in a small picture on the back of the video box.
Seth co-starred in Stephen King’s mini-series It (1990) in which he portrayed the younger version of the character Richie Tozier, whose greatest fear in life is werewolves.
Along with Matthew Senreich, Seth created a stop-animation TV show called Robot Chicken using toys as the main characters. Stars who have provided voices for the show include Seth’s friend Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Wait so SMG can voice over a cartoon but she can’t do a single commentary for a show that she lived and breathed for eight years? Hmm.

To be fair, until season seven’s DVD, Seth Green was the only actor to do a commentary. Her absence from all DVD features is strange, though. I wound not want to blast her for it, however. She did such great work for the show (and doesn’t seem to owe the show any more than she gave during the run), but it is a little odd, isn’t it.

What commentaries did Seth Green do? My DVDs don’t seem to have any…

He did one for “Wild at Heart” in season four, along with Joss Whedon and Marti Noxon.

Are you serious? I don’t have that commentary! Oh the unfairity!

I’d do anything for the deleted scenes from the flick! I’ve searched, but no luck. :’(
