Charisma Carpenter Confesses Crush on Dermot Mulroney, Recalls Auditioning to Play His Ex-Wife

Cleveland, OH – Actress Charisma Carpenter, known for her roles in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," shared a personal revelation with fans this past weekend at Nightmare Weekend Cleveland, a horror convention. Carpenter, who was attending the event, openly discussed her long-standing admiration for actor Dermot Mulroney, who was also a guest. In a candid moment, Carpenter recounted her initial hesitation to approach Mulroney. "My handler was like, 'You have to say something, you have to tell him that, you know, like, you're a fan of his work and all that stuff,'" she explained. After some encouragement, she eventually spoke with him, even playfully admitting to "crashing his photo op" to secure a picture. The conversation also touched upon a past professional encounter. Carpenter revealed she had auditioned for a recurring role as Mulroney's ex-wife on the show "Chicago Fire." "I did a really good job, I really think I did a good job on my audition," Carpenter stated, though she ultimately did not get the part, which went to a "much, much younger" actress. She concluded her story with a lighthearted comment, reflecting on her desire to "manifest him being my husband" rather than a co-star. Mulroney's presence at the horror convention is likely due to his roles in recent horror films such as "Scream VI" and "Insidious: The Red Door."
