28!Tropes
29* AsHimself: In ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''.
30* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Inverted. He's known for playing very serious, straight-laced characters but has been described in real life as very laid-back, friendly, outgoing and a jokester, to the point that he was known on the sets of ''Buffy'' and ''Angel'' for making co-stars laugh.
31* LanternJawOfJustice: His squared jaw is one of his more notable traits. Fittingly, he voiced [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueTheNewFrontier a superhero]].
32* MrFanservice: Tends to do a lot of {{Shirtless Scene}}s.
33* NoStuntDouble: For ''Angel'' and ''Buffy,'' he did a lot of his own fight scenes.
34* OlderThanTheyLook: He's in his fifties but looks barely any different from his Buffy heyday. It's enough to make one wonder if he might really be a vampire.
35* ThePrankster: He would occasionally be this on set of ''Buffy'' and do things like eat garlic or other bad tasting stuff before he did kissing scenes with Sarah Michelle Gellar who often did the same in response.
36* PrettyBoy: Creator/JossWhedon has made it clear that the main reason why Boreanaz was chosen for the role of Angel is because [[EvenTheGuysWantHim he was too beautiful]].
37* StarMakingRole: As ''Series/{{Angel}}''.
38* TallDarkAndHandsome: He stands 6'1. His characters, on the other hand, tends to be TallDarkAndSnarky.
39* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
40** He was the original choice for the character Matt Addison in ''Film/ResidentEvil2002'', but turned down the part due to scheduling conflicts with his TV series ''Series/{{Angel}}''.
41** He auditioned for the roles of [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] and [[Comicbook/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]] in ''Film/SupermanReturns'' and ''Film/BatmanBegins'' respectively.
