Emma started studying acting when she was a teenager, and her great passion still remains the theatre.

Emma Caulfield (born April 8, 1973) is an American actress known for her role as ex-demon Anya on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Emma M. Chukker was born in San Diego, California to a mother, who worked as a professional singer. Her maternal ancestry is Irish and her paternal ancestry is German. Emma began her acting career at a young age. In high school while she studied drama, she took parts in plays at the local La Jolla Playhouse and the Old Globe Theatre. Her talent for acting was immediately recognized by her fellow thespians, who awarded her the distinguished Excellence in Theatre Arts award.
After graduating high school, she attended San Francisco State University and UCLA to study psychology. However, her passion for acting continued to drive her. When she finished college she traveled to The American School in Switzerland (TASIS) in London, England, to study drama.
Emma's first notable role was as Brandon Walsh's girlfriend, Susan, on Beverly Hills 90210 in 1995. She appeared for thirty episodes in the series before departing in 1996. In 1998, Emma starred in her most famous role to date, as Anya Jenkins on the WB's hit show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Originally, her character was only to appear for several episodes. However, audiences responded well to Anya, resulting in Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator, Joss Whedon's decision to add her to the cast.
In 2003, Emma landed her first lead role in the horror movie Darkness Falls, which debuted at number one in the U.S. box office. In 2004, she appeared on Monk as Meredith Preminger in the episode "Mr. Monk and the Girl Who Cried Wolf". Caulfield also starred in the satire Bandwagon, playing a fictionalized and unflattering version of herself as a superficial, arrogant actress whose career is imploding. The movie was written and directed by close friend and fellow actress Karri Bowman. It screened at various festivals, although it has not been picked up for distribution. Several members of Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast and crew have cameos in the film.

Emma Caulfield Quote(s)
| I dont know that I want to act 15 years from now. I mean, I love the process of acting, but not the masochism. No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace. |
