27 Years Ago Today, Buffy Introduced a Character Who Would End Up With One of the best Franchise Arcs

Alexis Denisof first appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the episode “Bad Girls” as Wesley Wyndham-Pryce. Sent by the Watchers Council to train Buffy and Faith, he quickly struggled to make an impact. Fans already loved Anthony Stewart Head as Rupert Giles, and Buffy consistently preferred Giles’ guidance. This led to Wesley becoming a bit of a villain and the target of many jokes, as he wasn’t taken seriously by viewers or the characters.
