If the casting had been altered on Buffy

I'm not sure where to put this, but what if the casting had been entirely different? For example Amber Benson was cast as Buffy, or David B. was Spike and James M. was Angel?

I think everyone was pretty much perfectly cast, but to be honest it's a bit fun thinking about it.

Would anyone else actually a part of the show have worked in different roles?

Think of roles being swapped between Snyder and Giles. At least Buffy would have learned the Slayer's Manual.

Armin Shimmerman would probably not have had time for such a major role since he was also playing Quark on Deep Space Nine at the same time as he was portraying Snyder. But it would certainly have added more comic relief, which he does very well.

Julie Benz originally auditioned for the role of Buffy, which would have given the character a different tone, more intense, possibly darker. Though I'm not sure SMG would have pulled off playing Darla.
