Into Every Generation a Slayer Is Born: How Buffy Staked Our Heartsmentioning in his book that Whedon wanted her for the role but that Visa issues complicated the audition process. While part of that was true, Lynskey revealed that there were other factors at play, too."It is basically true. It was kind of a visa issue, but not really; I also was not sure about doing television at that time," Lynskey explained.
The actress continued,"It was very early in my career. I had a very old-school agent who was like, 'TV? That's for has-beens!' and I was like, 'I don't think it is anymore.' Certainly, now things have really changed, but I just wasn't super into it at the time." Lynskey even met with Whedon to discuss her interest in the part – and stayed in contact with her after recasting was done after the pilot.
