LaMorte: "Near the end of my run on Buffy, they asked me to come back for a Season Three episode called 'Amends,' and I didn't read a script because they didn't have one, and I agreed to do it. And I found out that I was basically playing... Satan. The character was called the First Evil, but it was essentially Satan. I wanted to get out of it, but there wasn't really an opportunity to. I don't know how I would handle it today; I would probably just decline and say, 'I'm sorry, I can't do it.' But you know, I was a new Christian, and I didn't know how to handle it." — quoted on two contemporary sites, from an interview c. 2004, the original-link for which is corrupt: https://www.reddit.com/r/buffy/comments/bxlo5r/do_you_think_they_should_have_somehow_resurrected/; and http://whedonesque.com/comments/4583
