Would Lindsey on Angel have been a better Riley? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did you that Kristian Cane (Lindsey on Angel, sry don't know the spelling) originally tried out to be Riley on Buffy but Joss Whedon liked him so much he asked him to be Lindsey instead?

Do you think that he would've made a better Riley than Marcus, the 'real' Riley(Don't know the last name.)

Hmmm... I don't know, I didn't really like the Riley they chose, but I loved Christian Kane too much as Lindsey..

No waaaaay! Marc Blucas* was the right choice for Riley. And Christian was also great as Lindsey....I never understood why so many fans didn't like Riley.

Riley never was my favorite, but Marc Blucas was good at playing him. So I think the made the right choice.

You know, I thought that Riley was AWESOME. I was pretty upset that the show chose to write him off, although I guess I understand the reasoning behind it.

Christian Kane, in my mind, was THE ONLY choice to play Lindsey. He was a great mix of all-American and straight up evil... like all good lawyers should be.

I think in both cases, casting was spot on.

Yep! I didn't like Riley that much... but Marc Blucus (I don't know how to spell his last name..) did a good job playing him. And Christian Kane was the perfect Lindsey!
