Not only is she saving At Attin in Skeleton Crew, she’s now saving the world alongside fellow GFFA star Sarah Michelle Gellar as the fantastic news arrives that Ryan Kiera Armstrong will be co-starring in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot alongside the original TV series star. Ryan learned of her casting first-hand from the Slayer herself.
“From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side,” she said. “To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room”
Gellar also recorded a video of her breaking the news to 15-year-old Armstrong that she got the part. (You can watch it below.)
“I’m so honored, thank you for trusting me,” elated Armstrong said through tears when Gellar welcomed her to new Sunnydale. She was then joined by her father, Canadian actor-producer Dean Armstrong.
Lilla and Nora Zuckerman used some Buffy terminology to praise Armstrong.
“We are so overjoyed to have found this generation’s slayer in Ryan Kiera Armstrong, she absolutely blew us away — there is no question in our mind that she is the chosen one,” they said.
