34 | !!Tropes associated with Sarah Michelle Gellar’s roles: |
35 | * DawsonCasting: She almost always played a teenager when she was in her mid- and late-20s, to the point that it was jarring when she ''didn't.'' For example, in the same year (1999) she played a high schooler in ''Film/CruelIntentions'' and a co-owner of a restaurant in ''Simply Irresistible.'' |
36 | * IAmNotLeonardNimoy: Although she's done other work, including situational comedy, she only really has a single character; a greater or less intense version of the ActionGirl she played in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. Also, people who know Gellar personally have said that when she acts, she's often just playing Sarah Michelle Gellar in a costume. |
37 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: |
38 | ** In the ''Buffy'' episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E16BewitchedBotheredAndBewildered}} Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered]]", her character is transformed into a rat by a witch's curse. This was due to Sarah being booked to host ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', leading to the writers turning Buffy into a rat so she could get some well-earned rest. |
39 | ** In the episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E11Gone}} Gone]]", Buffy gets an ImportantHaircut because Sarah had asked to cut her hair shorter in real life. |
