Alexis Denisof

Alexis has been nominated for a Saturn Award in the category of "Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series" for his role as Wesley on Angel three times, in 2001, 2003, and 2004.

Alexis currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Alyson Hannigan. They also have homes in London and in Sacramento.

During his time living in Britain, Alexis dated comedienne Caroline Aherne. He was given "special thanks" on the credits of her show The Royle Family.

Alexis was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy just before filming of the fifth season on Angel was set to begin. So during the first episode, director Joss Whedon had to be careful to keep most of Alexis's shots on his right profile, as the left side of his face was fairly immobile at the time of filming.

Alexis lived with Ted Danson and his wife, Mary Steenburgen, for a year, after he had returned to America and had been unable to find work.

Alexis is of Russian descent.

Alexis's astrological sign is Pisces and his Chinese astrological sign is Horse.

Alexis was named number three in the list of the "Top Ten Sexiest Men in the Buffyverse" in a fan poll by the Buffy the Vampire Slayer magazine in 2004.

While in London, Alexis starred in a production of "Rope" at the Chichester Theatre. Another actor in the same production was Anthony Stewart Head, who played Giles, Buffy's original Watcher, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

It was briefly rumored that Alexis was being considered to replace Pierce Brosnan in the role of James Bond. Either this rumor was false, or the casting people chose another actor instead.

Alexis spent three years studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

At the age of 13, Alexis attended the prestigious St. Paul's boarding school in New Hampshire.

Alexis and Alyson are godparents to Buffy and Angel creator Joss Whedon's son Arden.

Alexis was in the video for George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You." He said later that he took the part just so that he could meet the former Beatle.

The Series Finale of Angel was Alexis Denisof's 100th Episode on the series.

Alexis is 6'2" tall.

Alexis lived in London for 13 years before moving back to California. This may be the reason that he is so adept at portraying an Englishman.

Alexis has been with Alyson Hannigan since 2000. They grew fond of each other on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1999 but Alexis wanted to keep it professional. She got her way when he moved on from Buffy to work on Angel.
They were engaged a year later, and then got married on 11 October, 2003 in California.
