Boreanaz cheers Furlong’s ’Crow’ comeback

We just might see a resurgence in the career of beleaguered actor Edward Furlong next year — if his performance in the upcoming "The Crow: Wicked Prayer’ is as strong as his fellow star in the feature, "Angel’s’ David Boreanaz, insists it is.

"He did a great job as the Crow. He’s really a good actor. I was surprised,’ says Boreanaz. He admits he wasn’t sure what to expect from Furlong, the "Terminator 2’ star, who in recent years became better known for his drug demons and party-boy escapades with the likes of ex- girlfriend Paris Hilton than for his acting. By the beginning of this year, however, reports had it that Furlong was truly cleaning up his act, staying off alcohol and illegal substances and looking healthier than he had in ages.

Boreanaz reports, "We raised the bar for each other and really had an amazing time getting into what we were doing. We got into each other’s face. We’re both very physical. I was surprised we didn’t get hurt doing the fight scenes. There were a lot of bruises, though.’

The flick also features Tara Reid, plus Dennis Hopper as an underworld boss. "He’s one of my icons. I really wanted to work with him,’ says David. Boreanaz plays a fugitive ex-con murderer who is "basically a satanic cult member who turns into the Antichrist. He’s a great character, and the writing has dimensions behind it.’ Still, adds Boreanaz with a slight laugh, "I need to find a lighter role.’
