London Calling for 'Bones' Star David Boreanaz


By Troy Rogers

After becoming the TV vampire of every girl's dream in the early part of the decade as the lead character on the popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover hit Angel, actor David Boreanaz made the leap to Fox's crime drama Bones in 2005 to take on the role of special agent Seeley Booth. As Bones returns to the Fox airwaves for a fourth season on September 3 with a two-hour premiere, the new season punctuates the fact that since Angel closed up shop in 2004, David Boreanaz has been on television for almost a decade straight.

The day before the Season 4 premiere of Bones, which sees Boreanaz's character Booth and Emily Deschanel's Brennan head to London, England where they join their British counterparts in a high profile murder investigation, The Deadbolt's Troy Rogers conducted his own investigation on the premiere on a conference call to get the evidence from David Boreanaz himself.

...On the success of Bones:
DB: "I think what’s great about Bones is that it’s been embraced by the critics and it’s been embraced by a following of people that have really supported us from the beginning, which, in retrospect, is the same with the other shows that I was on. I mean, you have to look at it in perspective - what network it was on, how well it was and what it did for that particular network at that particular time. So we pretty much still remain under the radar. I mean I still believe there’s a lot of growth for our show as far as not becoming too popular, but maintaining a nice steady climb, not only in the ratings but also with a new fan base that comes on every year for us.

"The fact that we were able to get it to TNT this year and expose it to more people and get them excited about season four, which I think will be good for us, I think the beauty of the show is its gradual increase and not really going straight to a top number one show. I mean, where can you go from there? It’s something to be said about that for the writers and something to be said for the production team and something to be said for the actors that put forth their time and effort in order to create a character and see that develop, rather than have it become so quick, because it hasn’t been an overnight quick thing for the show..."
