Buffy: various vampires

Harmony Kendall: Harmony (Mercedes McNab) was in some seventeen episodes of Buffy but she only came into her own when she reappeared in Angel. She has commented on the makeup process of becoming a vampire:

I’ve got a pretty good schedule for Angel, except if I have to do the vampire thing, then I’m guaranteed to have to be there by 4:30 in the morning. It’s not my favorite time to get up, but at least I get to fall asleep in the [makeup] chair for half an hour. It takes about an hour and a half extra for the vampire make-up, which they can’t have ready to go. They’ll have the prosthetic shaped for my face, but they have to match it to my skin color and glue it on and blend it with my face. It just seems like they’ve gotten used to it by now, though, and they know what they’re doing so it goes a lot faster. Normally, you have to get to the set around 7am, and a normal day is between twelve and fifteen hours.
