Although Nicholas Brendon has appeared on several television shows and stage plays, Xander Harris is his first major role. This resident of Hollywood Hills appeared in the movie "Children of the Corn III" and guest starred in the television series "The Young and the Restless," "Dave's World," and "Married...With Children." His stage credits include "The Further Adventures of Tom Sawyer," "My Own Private Hollywood," and "Out of Gas on Lovers Leap." During his years in LA's Unified High School, Nicholas had to endure a problem with stuttering. His mother, who happened to be an agent, helped him break into the acting field, but he first had to overcome his stutter all by himself. Just before landing the role of Xander, Nicky (as he is known to his castmates) had been working as a television production assistant as well as a waiter at the Kate Mantilini restaurant in Los Angeles. His favorite actor and actress are Jack Lemmon and Rosie O'Donnell. His choice for favorite actor probably stems from his pick for favorite movie, "Some Like It Hot." Nicky claims that a college baseball injury prompted him to start his acting career. Nicky currently shares an apartment with his identical twin brother, Kelly. When asked how he relates to his character on BTVS, Xander Harris, Nicky says, "I relate to his sense of humor. We both see the funny side of things. And I relate to his feelings and emotions, and especially his insecurity.
