David Boreanaz says he will be back for another season of 'Bones'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- David Boreanaz says if there is a 10th season for the Fox network's "Bones" he will be there as Washington-based FBI agent Seeley Booth.

Boreanaz responded Tuesday to a query from an anxious fan, Zap2It reported. There were reports Monday that Boreanaz was telling friends he wanted out.

"Yes, if we get picked up," Boreanaz said after being asked if he would be there for the next season.

Boreanaz, 44, first appeared on screen as an extra in 1993. In 1997, he began a seven-year run as Buffy's much older (by a couple of centuries) vampire boyfriend Angel in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spin-off "Angel" and went straight from there to "Bones."
