'Buffy' Alums Join ABC Pilots
Trachtenberg, Rocha sign on to comedies
March 8, 2007
Former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" regular Michelle Trachtenberg will try out her comedy chops at ABC.
The Alphabet has added the actress to its untitled Washington-set comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Another "Buffy" veteran, Kali Rocha, has meanwhile signed onto ABC's "The Call," as has Kal Penn. The network has also added Adam Goldberg to its drama "Marlowe."
Trachtenberg will star opposite Eric Christian Olsen ("The Loop") in the D.C. comedy. She'll be playing the daughter of a lawmaker who falls in love with Olsen's character, who just happens to work for her dad's nemesis across the aisle.
Trachtenberg played Buffy's sister Dawn for three seasons on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." More recently she's starred in the movies "Black Christmas" and "Beautiful Ohio" and made guest appearances on "House" and "Law & Order: SVU."
