Melanie Lynskey may be up for two Emmys at this year's ceremony, but she wasn't always so keen to take on small-screen roles – in a new interview, the actor revealed that she turned down the role of Willow Rosenberg in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
"It was kind of a visa issue, but not really," she told writer Evan Ross Katz for his Substack newsletter, Shut Up Evan. "I also was not sure about doing television at that time. 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."
