However he spent his childhood growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he attended the Rosemont School of the Holy Child, then the Malvern Preparatory School, before moving to New York to go to college. From there, he set up home in Hollywood, where he began his acting career.

Answer: "Married... with Children" (1987)

In 1993, David Boreanaz secured a guest role in the popular American sitcom, "Married... with Children" (1987). "Married...with Children" was a programme which centred around the Bundys, a dysfunctional family from Chicago, Illinois.

Answer: Jaime Bergman

David Boreanaz was married for the first time in 1997, to Ingrid Quinn. However the marriage ended in 1999, when the couple divorced. Boreanaz then started dating actress and Playboy model, Jaime Bergman, whom he married in 2001. Their son, Jaden Rayne, was born on the 1st of May, 2002, and some years later, on the 31st of August, 2009, their daughter, Bardot Vita, entered the world.

Answer: True

In the 1997 television programme, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", David Boreanaz played Angel, a vampire with a soul. After being cursed by Gypsies, his soul was returned to him, causing him to feel all the pain he had ever inflicted upon others. Tormented by guilt and remorse, Angel spent his days attempting to atone for his misdeeds.

However Boreanaz's role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) was originally meant to be short lived. When the series began, his character, Angel, was never intended to be brought back, after the season finale of series two. Luckily for Boreanaz, however, the network wanted Joss Whedon, the creator, to write a spin-off of this popular series. Angel was then brought back in season three of "Buffy" (1997), in order to set up his move to Los Angeles.

Therefore in 1999, Boreanaz found himself starring in his own television series, entitled "Angel".

Answer: His knee

In 2004, while filming for "Angel" (1999) was still going on, David Boreanaz had an operation on his left knee.

Luckily for Boreanaz, his operation did not affect his career a great deal, and he was able to continue filming his scenes for "Angel" (1999).

One by one, Adam took his revenge, by murdering each girl who once rejected him, all the while, hiding behind a Cupid mask.

The film was not a success, and received a 15% poor rating from rottentomatoes.com. One nonplussed reviewer was less than impressed by its Valentine's Day theme, commenting that "Hopefully audiences will come to their senses and mark this one 'return to sender'."
