Rumor has it Holmes turned down the role of Buffy to finish high school. (She started "Dawson's Creek" the following year.) *Ryan Reynolds as Xander Harris on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"* 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. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0..._1677019.html?
