Born and raised in San Diego, Emma Caulfield began studying drama in high school at the La Jolla Playhouse and the Old Globe Theatre where she won the distinguished honor of "Excellence in Theatre Arts." Emma continued her education in psychology at San Francisco State and UCLA. After college, she picked up her drama studies once again at The American School in Switzerland (TASIS) in London. Best known for her starring role as the young and beautiful demon-turned-mortal, "Anya" on the hit series _"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997)_ (qv) starting in 1999. Caulfield's role originally started out as a guest, demon-of-the-week, appearance in a December 1998 episode. She was called back for a few more guest spots for plot reasons, which is when 'Joss Whedon' (qv), the creator of Buffy, realized her talent. She appeared in most of the episodes the following season, and after that, was promoted to a full time series regular. Caulfield's humor and levity added a comedic dimension to the show, which made its final bow in May 2003. She was also a major character on _"Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990)_ (qv) in the 1995-1996 as Brandon's journalist girlfriend, Susan Keats, in which she appeared in thirty episodes. She recently starred as "Caitlin Green" in the Revolution Studios thriller, _Darkness Falls (2003)_ (qv), which opened as the number one film at the box office. Caulfield starred alongside newcomer 'Chaney Kley' (qv) as a young woman attempting to take care of her troubled 8-year old brother who is plagued by night terrors. Left to her own resources, Caitlin must tackle the legendary evil that haunts their small town in the dark. Emma is currently in pre-production with producer 'Steve Pink (I)' (qv) (_High Fidelity (2000)_ (qv)) to star in and co-produce an upcoming satirical docu-drama.

- "I dont know that I want to act 15 years from now. I mean, I love the process of acting, but not the masochism. No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace." love the process of acitng, but not the masochism. No matter
- "I'm a ridiculous sci-fi fan. In fact, I admit it freely; my manager is horrified. I just recently bought seasons two through five of _"Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)_ (qv) on DVD. And I've watched all the episodes, half on the plane and a few of them as I was going to sleep last night. There's something about sci-fi that's comforting." [February 2, 2003]
- "I was in London during my first sci-fi convention for _"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997)_ (qv) and I was at the local bar, having a drink, writing in my journal, and this woman came up to me and said, "Do you want a drink?" I said, "No, thank you." She pushed it a couple of times, and each time I said, "No, really I'm fine." Then she turned really cold, looked at me and said, "Someday these conventions will be your only outlet." I was like, wow, thanks, peace out, OK." [February 2, 2003]
- [asked to name her most prized possession:] "My cats. Bjorn and Brian Dennehy. They're Abyssinian. They're amazing, they're really like dogs. I actually went to a psychic once, and she said, 'You have two cats.' And I said, 'Yes, I do.' And she said, 'Yeah, there's one in particular, he's brown, he's a deep thinker, that cat.' So every time I see Bjorn staring into the fire, I'm like, 'Are you having deep thoughts, Bjorn?'" [February 2, 2003]
- [about her last day on the _"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997)_ (qv) set:] "It was that sense that everything is coming to an end, like high school when you're about to graduate -- you really start taking notice of everyone, and noticing your surroundings. Especially when they start destroying sets that are no longer in use. Like, 'Oh my God, that used to be Xander's apartment, now it's just floors and a wall!' The last day, I really didn't think I was gonna cry at all. But as soon as they said: 'That's a show wrap for 'Emma Caulfield' (qv)!', I cried. I cried once, and that was it. I woke up the next morning like, 'OK, what's next?'" [May 21, 2003]
- [about the character she played in _Darkness Falls (2003)_ (qv)] "She's the complete opposite of Anya. She's a sexually repressed, small-town schoolteacher - with a bombshell body, but you wouldn't know it because she hides it with layers. It's symptomatic of what's going on in her life." [February 2, 2003]
