Charisma Carpenter Talks The Butterfly Defence League

For seven years Charisma Carpenter was a crucial cog in the epic fight against vampires, demons and the forces of evil on “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Angel.” Now she’s taking the ass-kicking skills absorbed during her time as Cordelia to chase away a new, potentially more dangerous foe: candy thieves.

Yes, the war against those who seek to lay a finger on your Butterfinger just got three new allies, as Lou “Hulk” Ferrigno, Erik Estrada and Charisma founded The Butterfinger Defense League.

And while everyone waits with baited (chocolate-laced) breath for her debut Defense video, PopWrap chatted with Charisma about a couple other hot topics. Notably her time in the Scooby-Gang, a possible reunion with Joss Whedon and making out with Jason Statham.

PopWrap: Had did you come to join the Butterfinger Defense League?
Charisma Carpenter: They were looking to form this League with people who have defended evil in some way in pop culture – so they approached me, and I I love Butterfinger, so I was totally in! Then I read the script and loved how tongue in cheek it was. The only thing I said was, “do I have to wear a cheerleader uniform again?”

PW: And how exactly does this sassy lil’ puppy brigade factor in?
Charisma: Oh man, we filmed this video where I get to be like Lady GaGa. It’s a riff on “Bad Romance” with the white room and I have a bevy of puppies that help me out with their sass. I can’t even tell you how funny it is.

PW: Since you’re a candy spokesperson now, I wonder what kind of treats you hand out on Halloween — full-sized bars?
Charisma: I am not a full-sized giver outer. I do the bite size. I have a kid and I think they just like a taste. Some moderation.

PW: Will it be all Butterfingers all the time at your house now?
Charisma: Now that I have a lifetime supply of Butterfingers, I’ll probably try and pawn some off so I don’t gain 300 pounds myself and lose this campaign [laughs]. There’s no way if I eat all those Butterfingers I will still be repping the brand.

PW: Yeah, they might not ask you to put the cheerleader costume on again.
Charisma: [laughs] I’m thinking no.
