Summary
The cast of Angel reunites at the wedding of actor J. August Richards and Joshua Gbor, including Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof, as well as series co-creator Joss Whedon.
Since his role in Angel as Charles Gunn, Richards has remained active in the industry, landing significant roles in shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Grey's Anatomy.
One factor that Richards attributes to his willingness to consider a potential reboot is the lasting camaraderie among the Angel cast.
The cast and crew of Angel had a mini-reunion at J. August Richards' wedding, who played Charles Gunn. Unlike its predecessor, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel didn't have a core Scooby Gang. Instead, it added to its main ensemble over time, but there were a few consistent members. Richards first appeared as Gunn towards the end of season 1 and stayed with the show until it ended.
On Instagram, Richards and Joshua Gbor shared photos of their wedding, which took place during Richards' 50th birthday celebration.

Since Angel ended in 2005, the actor has showcased his talent through various series. One standout role is his portrayal of Michael Peterson in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a show executive produced by Whedon. In this Marvel series, Peterson, also known as Deathlok, was a remarkable human character who possessed implants enabling him to receive injections of a super-serum. Throughout the show, Richards made recurring appearances, captivating viewers in 12 episodes.
Richards has made notable appearances on Grey's Anatomy, portraying a younger version of Richard Webber in flashback sequences across two episodes. Additionally, he has guest-starred on Arrow, The Mentalist, Warehouse 13, Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, and The Rookie. Recently, he has returned to the vampire subgenre with a recurring role on Vampire Academy.
In regards to an Angel reboot, Richards has expressed that he is unwilling to dismiss the possibility. He has spoken occasionally about maintaining contact with his former co-stars, a sentiment evident in his social media post where he reunites with Denisof. During their time on the series, the two frequently shared scenes together.
