So it turns out Jenny Lewis was almost a werewolf in Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Prior to forming Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis had a brief but still-amusing-to-bring-up-when-you-discuss-her-music career as a child and teen actress, with roles opposite Shelley Long in Troop Beverly Hills and opposite a Nintendo Power Glove in The Wizard. But according to a recent Twitter exchange, her two passions nearly collided with a role on Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Reaching out to Joss Whedon yesterday, Lewis asked, “Remember when you wanted me to be a werewolf?”—presumably referring to the character of Veruca, the lycanthrope lead singer who seduces Seth Green’s Oz into embracing his animal nature by using sexy trip-hop. “I surely do,” Whedon replied. “But you were busy doing the Frug. Good choice.”
