Nicholas Brendon, 50, is a Los Angeles born actor who got his start as Xander Harris on the supernatural teenage drama, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” from 1997 – 2003, appearing in all but one of the show’s 144 episodes.
Although he later went on to star in “Criminal Minds” from 2007-2014, his acting credits have been overshadowed by his multiple arrests for substance abuse and allegations of domestic violence.
Although the actor has been upfront about his struggles with depression and has entered rehab several times, he was arrested again in Indiana last week after being stopped by police.
