Star Actors Who Refused To Return for Reboots

David Boreanaz, Angel

Yet another Buffy cast member who isn't really a fan of rebooting the show. Boreanaz played Angel, Buffy's love interest. Angel's story went on to have a spin-off series called Angel, which only lengthened Boreanaz's time in the Buffy world. After the show was over, he knew his time was up.

"I'm all for people redoing it or whatever, but I'm too old. It's not like we're the cast of Friends reuniting. We're not hanging out in the coffee shop on a coach. But, you know, with all that technology, they made Robert De Niro look really young. I would encourage someone else to do it." Yeah, he's not a fan of returning to his role as an ageless vampire as, you know, an aged man.
