Acting After Buffy
His first major feature film role was in the Charles Busch satire, Psycho Beach Party (2000).
Chicklet is a sixteen-year old tomboy who’s desperate to be part of the in-crowd of Malibu beach surfers. She’s the typical American girl – except for one little problem: her personality is split into more slices than a pepperoni pizza.
