[on having Alyson Hannigan cross over from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) to play a role on _"Angel" (1999/I)_ in the episode "Orpheus":] "It's a blast. I feel like it's a play day. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm at work. My girl is here! We're not getting to see much of each other. She has three jobs on her plate -- she's doing the next "American Pie" movie, she's doing "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) and today on _"Angel" (1999/I)_ . She's a busy woman, so it's a double delight. I keep looking at her, and inside I keep giggling, and I keep thinking to myself, 'I have to remember I'm in a scene. I can't just smile at my fiancée.' But really all I want to do is run over and give her a hug." [Buffalo News, March 17, 2003]

"My family emigrated during the revolution. My grandfather was from outside of Moscow, and my grandmother, although some of her family were French, was from Odessa. They met as immigrants in New York in the early '20s. My mother's family came over from Ireland generations ago. That's where the silly name is from. But it's not made up! You couldn't think that one up. Mom says my father was torn between naming me Archibald and Reginald, and so I'm delighted he settled on naming me after my grandfather."
