ACTOR NICHOLAS BRENDON ENTERS REHAB FACILITY

Los Angeles, CA – Actor Nicholas Brendon, best known for portraying Xander on the hit television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, announced today that he has voluntarily entered an alcohol treatment center.

“After realizing that I had a disease that was taking control of my life, I decided that the best way for me to regain my health was to enter a treatment facility,” Brendon said. “I’m grateful for the love and support I’ve gotten from my wife, Tressa; my entire family; my business associates; and my friends."

“Over the past eight years I’ve discovered that Buffy fans are the most caring and supportive fans in the world,” Brendon continued. “Knowing that they will be behind me, rooting for me as I go through this process, makes everything that much easier. I’m looking forward to leading a happy, sober life.”

In addition to his seven seasons on Buffy, Brendon has appeared in the feature film Psycho Beach Party, and most recently starred in the ABC Family Channel movie Celeste in the City.

Brendon has served as the honorary chairperson of the Stuttering Foundation of America's Stuttering Awareness Week for an unprecedented three straight years, from 2001-2003.

Beer bad.

Sorry, but it had to be done.

"You didn't have to wound that man."
"Yeah, I know. It was just funny."
