Sarah Michelle Gellar best roles ranked: from 'Cruel Intentions' to 'Buffy' 

Most people can’t hear the name Sarah Michelle Gellar without thinking of vampires, but there are a few other roles she’s had over the years that rival some of her best work on “Buffy.”

Zap2it has picked out five of her best roles over the years (one of which we’ll get to see more of very soon) to help you celebrate.

“Ringer” never really got its time to shine, but Gellar did a marvelous job differentiating the two twins she played, Bridget and Siobhan Kelley. This one will always be the role that got away.

4. ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ – Helen Shivers

No matter how many times you watch “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” you’ll probably always hold out hope that Helen will make it out of that alley and to the safety of the parade.

Everything about the “Scooby-Doo” movies were whimsical and bizarre, and Gellar’s portrayal of Daphne was right on the mark. As a bonus, she got to star alongside her adorable husband, Freddy Prinze Jr.

“Cruel Intentions” was so iconic that it spawned several remake and reboot attempts. The one we’re looking forward to most is the one in which Gellar will reprise her original role of Kathryn Merteuil.

1. ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ – Buffy Summers

Obviously Buffy takes the cake, as she’s still Sarah Michelle Gellar’s most popular role to date. Buffy was a perfect mix of strong and funny and smart, and we’ll never see another character like her.
