You know it’s amazing how the show gets cancelled, David goes looking for work (since he doesn’t have a JOB anymore) and people automatically assume things that aren’t true about him.
Does anybody ever bother to read other articles he does? I guess not, but for the record, I will post this for the ’less’ informed.
This is a comment from Christian Kane about the Save Angel campaign and his and David’s reaction:
I can’t take that much credit for it but obviously with Boreanaz, and with James coming on the show, and then me coming back, there was just something. It was a rarity. To all three of us, and the rest of the cast, it was just a shame. But you know, the good thing about it is – and I kind of smile and I know David does, too – is that we went out on top. I think that Joss feels the same way. Joss has got a new project; he’s getting ready to do “Firefly” the movie.
Did the letter writing campaign and all the fansites and petitions on the Internet affect you and affect the show?
Well, it affects me. But I’m not sure it affects the show or the WB in that situation. But I’ll tell you right now, it affects me. I appreciate it and I know it affects Boreanaz. Boreanaz is very proud. We talked about that on the set quite a bit.
He also had this to say about the Save Angel people and the fans in general (it’s from an interview he did with CNN):
The interviewer mentioned the "Save Angel" campaign and the great lengths fans went to to save the show. She sounded very impressed (kudos to everyone involved in the campaign)! DB went on to say that the show had the best, most supportive fans - and they all knew there would be a backlash after the show was cancelled. He said everyone involved with the campaign should be very proud of what they did and he saluted them ("praise from the heart").
Oh, and when the show was cancelled, J. said that David said this about the show:
From an interview in the latest Dreamwatch #117
"When we found out about Angel’s cancellation, David got up in front of everybody and said, "You know, guys, there’s nothing to be sad about. We’ve been on for 5 years. We should be very proud of ourselves," he reveals.
"And that’s the truth. We made it to a place lots of shows don’t, and in our careers personally we made it to a place that a lot of actors don’t. It’s just a very small percentage of actors who can make a living at this.
So I feel there’s nothing really to be sad about. When we signed up for this, we knew there would be an end."

And, let’s not forget the convention he is planning with JM to THANK the fans for all they have done.
Oh yeah, what an ungrateful S.O.B. for working 12 to 14 hour days for EIGHT freaking years, giving 100% to the character, the show AND the fans.
The only people that are ungrateful IMO are the so-called ’fans’ that shouldn’t be called that in the first place. People should really stop jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about a person.
Plus, Joss Whedon said at the Saturn Awards that the TV movies were just rumours and there is about a zero chance of them happening. It’s not that David DOESN’T want to do them, it’s that they are NOT going to happen.
