Hi, I'm David Boreanaz. I play FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth on the TV show Bones. Since its humble beginnings in 1908 to today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been protecting us from terrorists, spies, mobsters, cyber thieves, gangs, and violent criminals. The men and women of FBI deserve our thanks. On behalf of the cast and crew, we wish the FBI family congratulations and a very happy 100th anniversary.
Can you call an entire half episode a "clip"? Because that's what Bones creator Hart Hanson, producer Barry Josephson, and stars David Boreanaz (pictured, right, with Eric Millegan and Emily Deschanel), Michaela Conlin, Tamara Taylor, and Jon Francis Daley delivered to fans in one of the closing sessions of Comic-Con's second day (moderated by EW's own Whitney Pastorek). Well, that and posters for everyone in the audience.
So what did we see? Crap. No, that's not a critical assessment of the new season; we literally saw poo. The victim from the early season 4 episode appears to have been shot then stuffed — head first — in a Port-A-Potty. Clearly, he's not coming out smelling like a rose, as the new intern (one of a slew of newbies the show plans to shuffle in to replace Millegan's murderous squint Zack Addy) makes a point of noting every chance she gets. Don't look for her to stick around, as the character is so purposely annoying to the rest of the Jeffersonian staff that we wouldn't be surprised if she turned up as the victim in a subsequent episode.
After the clip (trust us, there weren't really any spoilers there), the panel got started in earnest with Boreanaz and Hanson explaining that the cast flew to London for the season opener (way to pony up some ducats, Fox!). Boreanaz was all kinds of animated, explaining why he hates double-decker buses (claustrophobic), chickens (all birds, actually), and fish (something to do with his appearance on the Martha Stewart show). Then it was time for some spoilers. Stop here, Bones fans, if you really don't want to know.
For those of you none too pleased by the turn the Gormogon case took in the season finale — and Hanson says he realizes there are many of you — there is a bright side: Millegan will return as Addy for an unknown number of episodes. Of course, he'll still be that-guy-who-killed-for-the-cannibal, but...still.
There's also love in the Jeffersonian, with Cam (Taylor) and Sweets (Daley) each getting lucky (no word on whether it's with each other), and an ex-flame of Angela's (Conlin) returning. Also: We finally meet Angela's long lost mystery husband, from whom she's been trying to get a divorce so that she can marry fellow lab rat Hodgins (T.J. Thyne).
The biggest spoiler, however, was Hart revealing that, "This year, Booth (Boreanaz) and Brennan (Deschanel) will be in bed together naked. That's all I can say about that." And for those still smarting over the season finale, he offers some consolation in revealing that it wasn't exactly the way he wanted to end the season either. With the writer's strike throwing the schedule off, the Bones creative types figured they'd conclude not with the Gormogon killer, but with Booth getting shot. So look at the bright side, Bones lovers: You could've spent the entire summer with Booth on the bubble.
David Boreanaz
As usual, David Boreanaz, star of Fox's Bones, is taking advantage of anyone who'll fall for his dry wit and charm (this time, me), and also talks about the shoot they did in London, the setting for the season-four premiere. (There's also, um, way too much hair and wardrobe talk in this interview. Sorry! His Euro garb mesmerized me, but I promise to get more scoop on Bones at Comic-Con next week.)

Cast and producers from BONES have crossed the pond to shoot in London this month, the first time the series has shot at an international location or outside Southern California. Partners DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (Emily Deschanel) and SPECIAL AGENT SEELEY BOOTH (David Boreanaz) make the trip from Washington, DC, to Scotland Yard as television's most addictive and amusing procedural shoots scenes for a special two-hour premiere event airing Wednesday, Sept. 3 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
Principal photography begins on Saturday, June 14. Shooting at various locations in and around London, including the Thames River and Oxford University, BONES production will be in the U.K. for several weeks to complete scenes for the show's Season Four two-part premiere episode, "Yanks in the U.K." Additional locations include shooting near the historic Tower Bridge, the stately Lambeth Palace, official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as throughout the streets of the city.
"We are immensely pleased to be shooting our Season Four opener in England and are eager to work with the excellent cast and crew available in the U.K. BONES has never shot much more than a few miles outside of Los Angeles before, so we may as well start small by leaving the continent," said creator and executive producer Hart Hanson.
The premiere episode finds Brennan guest-lecturing at Oxford University and Booth speaking at Scotland Yard when they are asked by local officials to lend their expertise to a high-profile murder investigation involving a young British heiress.
BONES is from Far Field Productions and Josephson Entertainment in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Hart Hanson, Barry Josephson and Stephen Nathan are executive producers.

Onscreen, David Boreanaz has been a serial killer, fought with vampires, and solved the toughest murder cases in the land. So, while he and the rest of Hollywood took a strike break, Smoke took the opportunity to talk to the real David about his thoughts on dogs as talent scouts, the craft of acting, and cigars on the golf course. From Buffy the Vampire Slayer to his latest hit Bones, Boreanaz explains it all. By Evan Dashevsky; David Boreanaz has his dog to thank for his career, a fact he absolutely confirms from his California home while on a writers’ strike scheduled holiday—kind of. “Well, that helped kind of push the career along. I mean, that is a true story; I was walking my dog and a talent scout saw me on the street. Then from there, I got my manager, which led to me getting my first acting jobs.” See, it was his dog. And while it may be ability that has sustained his career through three hit TV series, it was the fact that his dog needed some exercise one day that first got David’s toes in the industry door. Also, destiny wasn’t hurt by the fact he and his dog were walking in a cosmopolitan urban center where open-minded attitudes extend to the street level, dog-walking circuit. “He was trying to pick me up. It was a guy, he was homosexual. You know, he knew off the bat when he met me that I was very into females, so he knew he was going to strike out on that one. But I did some research and saw he was a reputable guy. So, yeah, walking my dog kind of led me to acting.” However, it probably wasn’t direct experience that helped David breath everlasting life into the character that launched him into superstardom. In 1997, David introduced the world to its most beloved vampire with a soul, Angel, on sci-fi teen angst phenomenon Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (For the uninitiated, here’s Angel in 60 words: born in Galway, Ireland in the 1700s, the womanizing son of a wealthy landowner becomes an immortal vampire and terrorizes Europe for a century or so before a gypsy curse returns his soul to him, thus giving him empathy for mankind. He eventually settles outside Los Angeles in the 1990s where he defends southern California from the forces of evil.) The role drew so much fan attention, Angel was given his own namesake spin-off, which ran for five seasons and developed a cult following for the young actor. David has, more recently, left the gothic soap opera genre and moved into the forensic investigations realm with his Fox show Bones. At the time of the interview Bones was still “on break,” as he benignly put it. “Everyone’s pretty much shut down as far as Hollywood is concerned, we’re kind of in a holding pattern.” The show already had four pre-strike episodes in the can, but after producers and writers ironed things out, the show was back in production and the network plans to start airing new episodes in April. And then “how many episodes we do from there until May is dependent on how many we can get done, at least as the current season is concerned.” But for a short while, David took a break from Bones as writers and producers worked to find a shared definition of “residual.” His time off from Bones wasn’t all vacation however. He recently finished shooting the sports drama Our Lady of Victory alongside Entourage’s Carla Gugino where he plays husband to the coach of the first col- lege women’s basketball national champions. He also has been able to spend a lot more time with his wife Jaime Bergman, an actress and former Playboy model and their five-year old son at their vacation home in Park City, Utah. “We get up there as much as we can. I love being outdoors. I do some mountain biking. I took up fly fishing this year. And ice hockey—play tons of ice hockey.” He also does a bit of traveling to the east coast and hits up London when he can. And, of course enjoys a good “cedar-wrapped Fuente—that’s what I like. I’m more of a mild cigar guy. I don’t like hard Cubans, I like something smooth, not as heady. I always appreciate a fine cigar when I hang out down in Mexico. A good cigar always goes nice with some Sambuca—dip the tip in to it, makes for the perfect smoke. I’m also a big golf-smoker—when playing a round with the guys, I always enjoy a nice stogie.” Boreanaz has certainly seen his hard work rewarded with three hit shows and a rabid following. He has done some film work before, such as 2001’s horror flick Valentine, but is starting to gear himself towards more thoughtful fare such as starring alongside Allen Cummings and Carrie Fisher in last year’s independent dark comedy Suffering Man’s Charity. Unfortunately, any more ventures into film might be in a bit of a holding pattern until the strike bottle neck works its way through. But on a positive note, that gives him plenty of time to, say, go for a nice walk with his dog and see where destiny takes him next.

So, that was how it started. A simple dog walk and a misread street infatuation in Los Angeles launched the career for the Buffalo-born, Philadelphia-bred son of a local weatherman. Boreanaz, the former high school jock and once-upon-a-time ball boy for the Pittsburgh Steelers, wasn’t taking his acting career too seriously until he moved out to California at the age of 22. “I didn’t really do well in acting class. They were kind of bizarre to me,” he recalls of his first awkward forays into dramatic training. “But then I had this one teacher who kind of transcended me into improvisational games and technique and things like that. That made sense to me. Then you know to work with people.” Sometimes instinct and real-life experience is all an actor needs. Boreanaz never fancies himself the future Olivier, but prides himself on being able to wax intelligently about his craft, considering himself to simply be “somebody who likes to be around experiences and moments of life, and portray those experiences and those emotions through characters.” 
In Bones, David portrays Special Agent Seeley Booth alongside Emily Deschanel’s forensic-nerd hottie, Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan. Every week the pair solve murders based on what they can extract from human remains in various states of decomposition. Bones is part of the larger “cops with corpses” trend that has taken over the hour-long TV crime genre. Everything from the ubiquitous CSI franchise down to the god-awful Navy NCIS is built around scene-after-scene of attractive actors leaning over piles of mangled body parts with beaker and UV-light in hand. So, how does Bones go about standing apart from all those other shows, like, say a Navy NCIS? “Well that’s a very procedural show—they heighten and explore the procedure of solving crime with DNA and blood. I actually don’t even like Bones when it goes in those directions, so I’m always spinning it in the character’s head—spinning it to what makes this character tick and make the character come out in the forefront rather than the B-story of the crime and the DNA… Even if we were in the lab or dissecting the DNA and the blood, I have to find ways to have Booth and Bones connect mentally, spiritually, hilariously. That’s what’s intriguing for the audience: to have a relationship with the characters, rather than the DNA. Some people really enjoy watching those other kind of shows, but that’s not what I like.”
Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, the stars of Fox's cult hit Bones, spill on tonight's shocking season finale. Plus, find out about the future of Booth and Bones' romance and hear David's pitch for the final scene of the series.

from usa today; 10 favorite shows to welcome back with a smile"Bones
Fox, April 14
Where we left off Nov. 27: The Kiss! A Christmas-themed, dead-Santa story worked its way around to the big moment: Bones and Booth kissing under the mistletoe. ("It was like kissing your brother." "You sure must like your brother.")
Where we're headed: There are a number of continuing stories to follow: the team's search for a serial murderer; Angela's efforts to marry Bug Boy; Bones' rapprochement with her father (Ryan O'Neal, who's scheduled to return); and, of course, the will they/won't they relationship between Bones and Booth. But in general, Bones doesn't let its continuing stories serve as a barrier to casual fans. It remains a highly entertaining comedy-mystery that rewards constant viewing but doesn't demand it. Now if we just had the answer to the biggest Bones mystery of them all: Will Fox finally stop moving (or threatening to move) the show and give it the support it deserves?

I told you that David Boreanaz would be playing hockey
during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Well, apparently, the game happened and
here’s an article with all the results.
But even more importantly, here are a couple of photos of David at the event:

That's why U have 2 like David Boreanaz
American Actor David Boreanaz who stars on the hit TV Show, Bones, which debuted on the Fox Network back in September of 2005 and is going strong, recently in a interview spoke of just how happy he was to know Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Ricky Hatton .
In a recent interview conducted by Andrew Williams and published by metro.co.uk, Boreanaz was asked by the UK Publication what’s the best thing about coming from Philadelphia?
Boreanaz repiled: "That Floyd Mayweather Jr kicked your boy’s ass the other day." [Actually Mayweather is from Michigan].
When asked by the publication if he watched the fight, Boreanaz not only gave a kick-ass response, but he also threw a friendly jibe/diss at Boxing fans of Hatton, calling them "delusional."
Boreanaz stated in regards to the question if he watched the fight: "I didn’t need to. I was amazed by how delusional you guys were thinking that Ricky Hatton had a chance against Mayweather."
Boreanaz is easily one of the best actors on television. He first rocketed to fame playing the role of Angel, a Vampire with a Soul on Joss Whedon's hit TV Cult classic, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer." Boreanaz left Buffy and went with a Spin off to the Show entitled "Angel." Both "Angel" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" were hugely successful and sales of the DVD's for both Shows are still going strong even though "Buffy" ended its run in 2003 and "Angel" in 2004.
It’s True: No New Bones Until (Gulp!) May Sweeps!
Guess who’s back from his two-week vacation?! That’s right, me! Guess who’s marking the occasion by reporting some spectacularly sucky news?! Yep, me again.
A reliable source at Fox confirms reports that the final three pre-strike episodes of Bones are being held until May sweeps. Sucky, right? Wait, there’s more. The show is relocating to Mondays at 8 pm, where it will be followed by original installments of the Julianna Margulies courtroom drama Canterbury’s Law. The Bones/CLAW combo kicks off on April 28. (This season, May sweeps runs from April 24 to May 21. Call it Mapril sweeps.) The decision to hold Bones until May is the clearest sign yet that Fox is bracing for a long strike.
But with that depressing news out of the way, here’s a little silver lining to cheer you up: Those three pre-strike Bones eppys are being joined by a fourth never-before-seen installment. Per my source, the infamous school-shooting-themed outing that was pulled last season in the wake of the Virginia Tech massacre has been "tweaked slightly" and is scheduled to see the light of day in May.
So, what do you think? Is May too long to wait for fresh Bones? Will the afterglow from Booth and Brennan’s holiday smooch have long since faded? Or do you adhere to the belief that absence makes the heart grow fonder? Speak now in the comments section below. And, c’mon, admit it: It’s good to have me back.
Actor David Boreanaz is best known as the crime-fighting vampire Angel who debuted in Buffy The Vampire Slayer before having his own spin-off show. Grumpy Dave doesn’t like talking about it, though ; he’s all about his new detective show Bones, in which he plays FBI officer Seeley Booth. Bones finishes its run on Sky tonight, with a new series starting in February.
What is the appeal of police crime scene shows like this ?
Ours is a little bit different from the others, it’s not all about the procedural level. For me, it’s all about the characters. The procedural stuff is secondary, but a lot of people like that. I can’t shut it out, even though I’d like to.
Isn’t all the dialogue about the dead bodies a bit of a chore ?
Not for me, that applies to people who play the scientists. Sometimes I have to recite FBI jargon, which can be annoying, but I just write it on the desk. I know what I’m talking about subtextually, but I don’t really care about the other s***.
You’re a producer on the show now. What difference does that make ?
There’s more emphasis on the character and storyline. I pride myself on my character. It hasn’t really changed my approach because my passion has always been invested in the show. The responsibility is to the character and how it develops.
What’s it like doing all your scenes with co-star Emily Deschanel ?
It’s a lot of work because we’re in every scene together, but that’s what drives the characters. I like that. It enhances the chemistry.
Do you get sick of the sight of each other ?
Oh, yeah. We drive each other crazy and tell each other so. There are days when we show up and don’t get on too well, but we use it in the scenes.
How do you annoy each other ?
I’m constantly poking her shoulder and getting under her skin. I think it’s part of my job. She’s very opinionated. I could be talking to a director or producer and she’ll put her two cents in. It’s annoying and I’ve told her about it, but she keeps on doing it.
Why did you want to be an actor to begin with ?
I enjoy the escapism and the exercise of emotion, of getting things out that you might have experienced the day before, or a month ago. Those are the things I use in my subtext.
When did you realise you were any good at it ?
I still don’t think I am. I keep fooling them, but as long as the pay cheque clears I don’t mind.
What was the first acting job you got ?
The sitcom Married With Children when I was 23. It was pretty scary, but the other people in the scene messed their lines up first, which helped my confidence. Before that, I was just doing plays and commercials.
What’s the worst job you’ve had ?
I worked in a posh sports club for a couple of days. I got fired when I kicked a door down. I kicked it down because the key wasn’t working.
Were you tempted to become a weatherman like your dad ?
No. My dad just reads the weather, he isn’t exactly a ‘weatherman’ like a meteorologist. He started in radio and had his own talk show and now he reads the weather in Philadelphia.
After the critically derided slasher flick Valentine, would you star in another horror film ?
Yes, if it was psychologically correct. When I did Valentine, it was a studio picture and it worked in my schedule, I only had a few weeks to shoot it. It was a great experience.
Did Buffy fans send you any weird presents ?
No, they didn’t. Any fan is a great fan to have.
Was it frustrating to play one character like Angel for so many years ?
No. [Mumbles something].
What’s the best thing about coming from Philadelphia ?
That Floyd Mayweather Jr kicked your boy’s ass the other day. [Actually Mayweather is from Michigan].
Did you watch the fight ?
I didn’t need to. I was amazed by how delusional you guys were thinking that Ricky Hatton had a chance against Mayweather.
