Sarah Michelle Gellar Mourns Nicholas Brendon

It's March 24, I'm Cory with the story.

This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI and built for the culture.

Sarah Michelle Geller spoke out about the death of her, Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star

Nicolas Brendan at age 54.

She shared her thoughts on Monday at the Rome premiere of her new film Ready or Not Two.

Brendan, who played Zander Harris across all seven seasons from 1997 to 2002, passed

away in his sleep from natural causes according to his family.

Geller described the loss as a tragedy, even more so when it happens too soon.

She pointed out that the entertainment world can be tough, and Buffy seems to have faced

more than its share of cast member deaths since wrapping up.

In the early 2000s, fans and fellow actors have been reflecting on Brendan's impact.

Geller and others like Alison Hannigan, who played Willow and Emma Callfield, his on-screen

love interest, posted heartfelt memories online shortly.

After the news broke last Friday, nearly a dozen actors from the original Buffy series,

its angel spin-off, and even the 1992 film, have passed away over the years, including

names like John Ritter and Luke Perry.

Geller called Brendan an essential part of the show that will always endure.

These tributes highlight how the Buffy family stays connected, turning personal grief into

shared remembrance even two decades later.
