I watched this episode recently for one main reason. I am a huge fan of the Buffy/Angel universe and saw that Alexis Denisof had a role in this episode. I was curious to see him in a role outside of his BTVS/Angel character Wesley. Let's just say it was strange. While I know from his bio that he was born and raised in the US, I was always curious as to whether or not his English accent was real being he had lived in England for a period of time. Watching Alexis in the role of an American diplomat's coke-head son was weird. While the voice was the same, hearing him without the accent was very different. I don't know if was because I'm so used to the accent or his is real but at points I swore I heard an English tone to some of his lines. Anyway, I really didn't want to review this episode, just give my thoughts on one of the actors.
