I had a fun conversation with Charisma Carpenter (Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel), for a few moments at this year’s Wizard World Comic Con in Des Moines, IA. We talked about what motivates her as an artist, what kind of roles she finds fulfilling, and the charities she supports.

We also discussed what lessons she learned for her own life during the years she played Cordelia on Buffy, and why she avoids hugs from strangers.
