Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon has checked into rehab.
Source says Nicholas suffered a blackout and doesn’t remember fighting with police. The only thing he remembered was being tased, which he described to our source: “Being tased is like being punched in the side by Rocky Balboa, the pain is so bad it runs up your spine,” he told the source.
Brendon, who played Xander on the popular TV vampire series, told a source “They realized who I was, but I didn’t get any special treatment.”
He was charged with felony vandalism and released on $20,000 bail. Recognizing he had a problem, the 38-year-old checked himself in the SOBA Recovery Center in Malibu.
“I’m feeling lucky because alcoholism effected my money management decisions and they are helping me,” Nicholas told the source, adding that he feels “really grateful.”
Brendon also told the source about another up side to the recovery program: “they have acting classes that focus on recovery.”
Brendon is focusing on his recovery and his work on the hit CBS show Criminal Minds and two animated films.
