Imagine "Buffy" with Sarah Michelle Gellar as Cordelia (which she reportedly auditioned for originally) and Katie Holmes as the vampire-slaying lead.

Rumor has it Holmes turned down the role of Buffy to finish high school. (She started "Dawson's Creek" the following year.)

Buffy's friend (who sometimes wished he could have been more than that) was almost played by Ryan Reynolds.

Nicholas Brendon got the role when Reynolds passed.
