Nicholas Brendon, who battled monsters as Xander on ''Buffy the Vampire
Slayer,'' is now fighting his own demons in real life. In a statement posted
on his website, Brendan said he'd checked himself into an alcohol rehab
clinic. ''After realizing that I had a disease that was taking control of my
life, I decided that the best way for me to regain my health was to enter a
treatment facility,'' the 33-year-old actor wrote. ''I'm grateful for the
love and support I've gotten from my wife, Tressa; my entire family; my
business associates; and my friends.''
Brendon, who was last seen in March's ABC Family movie ''Celeste in the
City,'' initially announced he was seeking treatment on Sunday while
addressing ''Buffy'' fans at Cleveland's Slayercon. ''Over the past eight
years I've discovered that Buffy fans are the most caring and supportive
fans in the world,'' he wrote in his website statement. ''Knowing that they
will be behind me, rooting for me as I go through this process, makes
everything that much easier. I'm looking forward to leading a happy, sober
life.''
