(Ryan Hansen) When Buffy fans last saw Tyler's best friend Mike, he was a Goth kid whose dabblings in the Occult caused him to be harassed by his peers at Sunnydale High. Years later, Mike is now a cocky, charismatic, wise-ass whose good looks attract women and men alike, though his preference is for the latter alone. His plans of working on his Masters Degree in Commercial Art at Wilcox University may have to be put on hold due to new developments.
