It takes a pretty confident man to say ,"Anything that's cold and
blonde works for me." But David Boreanaz, the 39-year-old actor who
co-stars as Special Agent Seeley Booth on the hit Fox series "Bones,"
has no qualms with that assertion. Boreanaz is, of course, referring to
his choice in lagers.

The actor relaxes between a strenuous workout and returning to his
dressing room on the set of the series, he could be mistaken for a
recent college grad. But he's actually a husband, father and in-demand
actor. David recently returned from 18 days in London filming two
episodes of "Bones," and he's looking forward to directing a November
episode while starring in it, as well. He also just wrapped production
on the indie sports drama "Our Lady of Victory" and voiced the role of
The Green Lantern for the animated feature, "Justice League: The New
Frontier."

Born in Buffalo, David was raised in Philadelphia and endured several
years of bullying and torment as the new kid. Despite these hardships,
however, he channeled the emotional experience into becoming a football
player and sports enthusiast, finally into bigger dreams of a committed
and disciplined actor. Though we all remember him for his role on the
TV series, "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer" and later, "Angel," Boreanaz
doesn't dwell on his past blood-sucking days. Rather, he looks toward
the future and what that might bring.

He met his wife, actress/model Jaime Bergman, by eyeing her tattoos.
Oddly, they matched his tats with both body placement and design: The
duo shares Chinese symbols that translate into "soul" and "fate" on
their wrists. The couple wed eight years ago and have a 7-year-old son,
Jaden Rayne. David shares all this bliss with two four-legged friends,
as well: his white lab, Buddha, and a little Chihuahua named Rocky. But
with his frenetic life pace, there are no outward signs of stress.
Boreanaz is a quiet display of someone versed in Buddhism, who doesn't
take himself too seriously, enjoys laughing out loud with his son and
is thankful for the positive recognition he's getting from audiences.

DRAFT: Buffalo, Philadelphia, and then Ithaca, New York for college.
Cold cities whose residents enjoy drinking beer. Did you have a
favorite East Coast brew?
BOREANAZ: Well, in Binghamton, New York, it was all about Jenny Cream
Ale. Not too many people know about this ale, but it's reminiscent of
what my grandparents used to drink. They used to go to the local bar
for happy hour at 5 o'clock on the dot every day, walk in and have a
Jenny. It was served in green cans, and that's my first real memory of
a beer. We'd sit there and play the old shuffleboard game, you know,
the ones with magnets and sawdust. That's what we kids -- my sisters
and I -- would do when they would have their beers; then we'd go behind
the bar and clean the glasses for them.

What was your beer of choice when you attended Ithaca College?
Anything cold. You don't really think about anything much more than
getting a tap for the keg. I don't think we were thinking brand names.
You're in college, so it doesn't really matter.

Recently, the mainstream news has been talking about some
colleges wanting to bring back the drinking age to 18 instead of 21.
Your thoughts?
It's a fine line and a slippery slope. You can sign up for the draft
when you're 18, so are you responsible enough to be drinking at that
age? I think what happens is you fall into the trap of drinking and
driving, and people think 21 is a more responsible age; more deaths
will occur on the road with younger people drinking and driving. I
don't really weigh in on one specific spot on that question. It's a
very hot button issue right now. I don't think it's going to change,
though; it will always be a strict 21 rule. Being a parent now, I tend
to lean more towards the 21 age.

I know you said you were bullied at school, but looking at you now at a
strapping 6-foot-1, it's hard to imagine that kids would pick on you.
Well, we moved from Buffalo to Philadelphia when I was 8 years old, so
I went from a school in a tight-knit community, a community of
openness, to going to a school in Philadelphia that was a little bit
more bruised up. I was the new kid on the block; I was razzed. It
started as that and compounded into getting pushed around a lot. The
older I got, the bigger I got, so that changed pretty quickly (laughs).


What did you learn from playing football?
It was very disciplined. Organized sports are a great way to get focus
and are a foundation to a child's life, whether it's baseball,
football, basketball, lacrosse. I went to a Catholic school with an
interactive league, which was an intense program. You had to know your
assignments and playbooks, and obviously be pushed around by the older
kids when you were going into the program. To this day, it's given me a
sense of understanding, what it is to approach a subject matter, study
for it, be prepared, take my work in a light of having fun, but at the
same time being prepared and knowing what's coming at me.

I know you're also very into Philadelphia hockey and a frequent caller into WIP Sports Talk in Philly, talking hockey.
I'm a huge hockey sports fan, love the NHL and do some work with them.
I play pick-up leagues here in Los Angeles, and have done that for
about eight years now. I couldn't have a better time. When I get on the
ice, it's the closest thing to flying for me. Being away from
everything and just gliding on the ice, I forget about everything. I
mean, I love football and still do. Fall football leagues began and I
have two that I follow. I'm a real all-around sports person.

What are your favorite two football teams?
I love the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I used to
be a ball boy for the Steelers and had the opportunity to train with
Jack Lambert. I remember when I went to their Pennsylvania camp; that
was my first introduction into Iron City beer, which is great stuff.

So what's your beer of choice now?
I like a Guinness on draft. I have a Guinness machine at home that I'm
going to hook up again. I remember Mickey's Big Mouth beer in
Pittsburgh. You get introduced to certain beers during certain times in
your life that have specific meaning. I like a nice, cold draft beer
when I have one -- always in a nice, cold mug. I put the mug in the
freezer, it gets all iced-up on the sides, and pour a cold beer in it.
You can't really beat that. I learned that from my grandfather in
Binghamton. That's a big-time legacy.

Are you going to pass that down to your son?
Sure! Pull a cold mug out of the freezer and put a beer in that. I
remember when I was young, watching the foam go up, taking a sip of it
and thinking 'Wow, that was so cool.'

Aside from teaching your son about the benefits of putting a
mug in the freezer, what kind of values do you hope to instill in him?
Just to be responsible and have respect for your name and what it
stands for. That means knowing the ins and outs of certain situations.
[I want him to think] 'If I do this, how would it hurt my mother or
father?' Hopefully, I can instill some of the same values in my son as
my parents did in me. Being responsible is the biggest thing when
you're entertaining your child at these stages and getting into the
teen years. Also, really listening to him, and having a relationship
that is both hands-off but also hands-on and guiding him, rather than
being forceful with him. That's all I can hope for in instilling
values.

You played a 242-year-old vampire on 'Angel.' Now having a child, some
people look at their own longevity. How old would you like to live to
be?
As long as I'm healthy and happy, that's really as long as I'd like to spend time with my children as they grow.

So 'children?' Do you plan on having a larger family?
Hopefully. That would be nice.

I read that your favorite band is The Grateful Dead, you were
on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel,' now 'Bones.' Do we have a
theme here?
No theme. I just like classic rock. There isn't really a connection to
any one thing. I just live my life, enjoy my stuff and just love good
music.

Seeley Booth seems to have loosened up a bit since first coming on
'Bones.' If the two of you were to sit down and have a chat, what would
the two of you be drinking and discussing?
For him, because he's a blue-collar kind of guy, he'd probably have a
Scotch. So it would be a single malt, something very smooth and each of
us would be talking about values and where we are presently in our
lives. There would be a lot of laughter, a lot of jokes and a general
good time.

The first two episodes of 'Bones' took place in London. So what beer did you enjoy during your two-plus weeks there?
I like Stella, that's a good blonde beer. I always tend towards the
blonde beers more than the deep, rich ales that they have over there. I
don't go that way. Anything that's cold and blonde works for me.

You're directing a November episode of 'Bones.' Why are you switching hats right now?
I just enjoy being both in front of and behind the camera, producing,
directing. I love the whole process of it. I'm an avid photographer as
a hobby; I have a lot of old cameras and like to collect certain types
of cameras. It's something I enjoy and obviously, now with a child, I'm
always taking pictures. I've directed before so it's just something fun
and challenging. I don't think consciously 'Oh, this is where my career
is going.' I just kind of do it. One would be foolish not to take the
opportunity of being fortunate enough to be on a show first of all, and
then to be around and learn from that so you can expand yourself.

You're an avid golfer too, right?
Well, I had a 16 handicap, but I lost patience with the game because it
takes too damn long to get through 18 holes. I was burned out by the
end of the day playing six hours on a golf course. I always like to get
up early and be the first one out. It's good to either play the back
nine at the end of the day or the first up.

Do you and your wife entertain or have holiday traditions that revolve around food and good cheer?
We embrace the holidays and entertaining people who come over to our
house. When it gets to the point when everyone is feeling good around
the holidays, it's a great time to entertain, throw holiday parties and
decorate the house like a Christmas box. There's always good laughter,
good spirits and good food.

Do you sit back and ponder what you are thankful for in your life?
I do it all the time. I don't necessarily wait until the holidays. I
think it happens on a daily basis. I wake up, and I'm thankful that I'm
blessed with a beautiful child, a great wife, and the ability to enjoy
the freedom of walking out the door and petting my dog. People take all
that for granted -- just getting up and brushing your teeth. I value
all this day in and day out, not just during the holidays.

I've heard that you enjoy cooking healthy meals. Have you concocted any recipes that incorporate beer into them?
Oh yeah. Well, my mom is Slovakian, and she cooks kielbasa with beer.
So I've done that before. I always pour some beer on my chicken if it
begins flaming up too much on the grill. That's always good. So that
turns out as beer chicken. And I drink beer in the shower a lot -- does
that count for anything?!

How do you keep yourself fit?
I work out every day. I exercise with a trainer working on heart, core
strength exercises that keep my heart rate up, so it could be lifting
or running. I play a lot of ice hockey on weekends, so I'm always
going.

If you could sit down with any historical figure, who would that be and why?
Abraham Lincoln. I'd like to know about his values and how he felt
about the unification of the country and world. And I'd like to ask him
'How do you get through doorways?' He was pretty tall. I'm in awe of
him.

Describe yourself in 3 words.
Tempestuous, gregarious and artist.

FORWARD TO DEVELOPING HIS RELATIONSHIPS IN SEASON FIVE



The
BONES actor/producer talks about where his series is going in its fifth
season and gives props to his fans from BUFFY and ANGEL days


By ABBIE BERNSTEIN, Contributing Writer
Published 9/17/2009






addthis_pub = 'ifmagazine';

David
Boreanaz seems like he’s in a good mood, and it’s understandable. On
the personal front, he and his wife Jaime Bergman are expecting their
second child at the time of this interview – daughter Bardot Vida has
since been born, joining seven-year-old older sibling Jaden. On the
professional front, BONES, the Fox network comedy-drama about
the investigations and relationship of Dr. Temperance Brennan,
played by Emily Deschanel, and Boreanaz’s FBI agent Seeley Booth, is
going into its fifth season, with a pick-up for season six already
announced.

At
a party thrown by Fox for the Television Critics Association and at a
Q&A session on the Fox set, Boreanaz talks about what’s going on
with the spine of his series.

Booth
woke up from a coma at the end of Season Four with some memory issues.
How will that affect the character in Season Five? “He wasn’t really in
a coma,” Boreanaz clarifies. “He had a brain aneurysm, it was removed.
He just woke up from surgery, so I don’t think that he was in limbo
there. I don’t think that it’s going to be something that we’re going
to harp on for the whole season – you’ll get bits and pieces of it, but
not each episode. He’ll eventually get all that [memory] stuff up.
It’ll be little things, like he forgot how to be a plumber, so he
wanted to hire some guy to do the plumbing in his apartment, it cost
him eight hundred bucks, he can’t do it, [Brennan says], ‘Well, I’ll
just give you the money,’ he’s, ‘No, I’ll just take care of it myself’
and gets the Dummies Book for plumbing. It’s that kind of stuff – not
knowing exactly how to do things. In the first episode, he won’t be
dressed like Booth, standard black FBI guy, no socks, nothing. He
doesn’t remember. And it will slowly come back to him.”

We
may also be seeing more of Booth’s workplace this year, Boreanaz
suggests. “We are investigating [showing more of] the FBI, which I
think is really interesting, because we have the squints [Brennan’s
fellow scientists], but we haven’t seen much of the [FBI personnel] in
Booth’s world, which I think is really interesting to see, whether it’s
the FBI assistant or a CIA guy. We just worked with Christopher Duncan
– he’s a great actor and he brought so much to the show.”

As
for the relationship between Booth and Brennan, Boreanaz says it’s,
“Pretty much back down to Ground Zero, as far as a man trying to court
a woman and convince her that his feelings are right for her, but it’s
hard because his brain’s a little messed up, so I think we can go
anywhere with it, and obviously, really maintain the strong sense of
relationship that we have, that we’ve always had. It’s always been
about that, it always will be about that and where those two take us
will really determine how it works out in a lot of ways. It feels like
first season [in terms of freshness], but we know what we’re doing.”




The
chemistry between Deschanel and Boreanaz has been present from the
first, the actor observes. “ It definitely developed from the moment
the two of us met. This is the best twosome in television, I think, as
far as relationships of characters are concerned. When I walked into
the room and we were testing [actresses to play opposite the
already-cast Boreanaz], there were two other girls. There was this one
girl who wa all pretty much thought was the part, but when Emily and I
worked the scene, there was definitely some magic that happened in the
room, and when you are fortunate enough to catch that lightning in a
bottle, you don’t really have a sense of where it’s going to go or how
it’s going to transform. So you work on it, and we have been working on
it since Day One. In order to develop that chemistry, you have to trust
the other person you’re working with. With that trust come a lot of
things that you can’t really share with other people, because it’s
between the two of us, and I cherish that. [Deschanel] is not only
someone I work with, but she has become part of my family that I can
look at and say I enjoy the moments I have with her, because they lead
to me becoming a better person, and in doing so, I learn about her, I
learn about myself and hence we get chemistry. I think that chemistry
as developed in the last seasons in a very strong way.”

Boreanaz
is one of the show’s producers, as well as being its male lead. What
does being a producer entail for him? “It’s definitely something that
you want to look on as being more a part of the whole of what goes on,
meaning you want to make yourself available to production meetings, you
want to make yourself available to prop meetings, you want to make
yourself available to going in at certain times, even if you’re not
working, to discuss ideas for casting, for wardrobe choices, discuss
ideas for how the camera works as far as [cinematographer] meetings.
Ultimately, [giving] input that makes sense. Taking leadership on as a
producer is keeping the boat together creatively, and also
understanding the ins and outs of where we are at financially with the
show, where we stand budget-wise, what we can and can’t do, how many
days we can go out [on location], what do we need to sacrifice in the
front, as well as the band end? I think you become more aware of things
like that when you take them on and you add to the conversation with
it. That’s where it starts, understanding what it means to be a
producer.”

Boreanaz
says he can’t take credit for the two-year pick-up and indeed, he’s not
worrying about Season Six just yet. “I don’t think of it as a two-year
pick-up, I just think of it as, especially in Hollywood, the next
episode you’re shooting on Season Five, because [an announcement of an
additional season pick-up] to me doesn’t mean anything. I don’t want to
listen to that kind of stuff, it’s not my territory. I mean, in a way
it is, but I don’t necessarily obsess over it. I kind of gave that game
up a long time ago.”

BONES has
a strong fan following, who are in evidence at Comic-Con. Though
Boreanaz did not attend this year, he’s gone in the past. “Having
[starred in] ANGEL and BUFFY has given me a sense of
having those fans follow me over to this show, which is great, because
they are great fans and great people. It adds a level of good publicity
for the show and even gives insight to people who haven’t seen this
kind of show before. I think each individual is different with how they
approach it. I think Comic-Con represents a real strong sense of
showing support to people who watch your show, and I think that’s a
very important thing to do, whether it’s a Comic-Con event or any kind
of event, to show the fans that we appreciate what they do by tuning in
and watching our show.”

So what is Boreanaz looking forward to most with BONES this
year? “Oh, man. Different types of socks I get to wear,” he jokes,
referencing Booth’s often bold footwear. “No, I’m looking forward to
his strong sense of self and figuring things out and making him more
aware in his present life with [Brennan] and how she fits into his
life, and maybe a realization or an epiphany about how maybe it doesn’t
work out at the end of the season. So there are a lot of ways we can go
with this. I think that the relationship is the most important thing
for me and it’s already apparent – it’s very strong right now, what the
two of us are giving to each other, the trust that we have for each
other. I’m looking forward to more people knowing the show, compared to
last year. It seemed as though last year was a big year for us and we
broke some walls and barriers. People said, ‘Oh, you really broke out
of a nice little shell there’ and even today, people are saying, ‘I saw
your show for the first time, I’m hooked on it.’ [During] the first two
years of not really knowing where the show was and what was going on
with it [in terms of time slot], we maintained.” Now BONES has
a solid eight PM slot on Thursdays. “It feels like we’re keeping our
stride in a way that’s on a different level. So I’m looking forward to
more viewers.”
