Clare Kramer is an award-winning actress, entertainment correspondent and pop culture authority, whose career has taken her from the role of vengeful goddess Glory on Buffy the Vampire Slayer to launching her own pop-culture website, GeekNation.com. In the coming year, she can be seen starring in the Lifetime movie The Wrong House and Zer0-Tolerance, due in fall 2017.
Born in Atlanta and raised in Ohio, Clare’s career got off to a start with a contract as “Wendy” for the Ohio-based franchise of the same name. After graduating from high school, she earned her bachelor of fine arts degree in just three years from NYU’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts. Clare appeared in numerous stage plays while in New York, including a turn as Helen Keller in the touring stage version of The Miracle Worker, for which she won accolades from reviewers.
Clare first appeared on-screen playing Peter Falk and Tyne Daly’s daughter in the independent film Vig. Next followed a role in the comedy In & Out. Roles in TV, film and series followed, highlighted by an eye-catching turn as the headstrong cheerleader Courtney opposite Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku in Bring It On. Immediately afterward, Clare was cast in the cult classic series Buffy, in a role that was declared by TV Guide as one of the best villains of all time.
Other film and television credits include roles in The Rules of Attraction; Sabrina, The Teenage Witch; Tru Calling; The Skulls; House; The Gravedancers and Big Ass Spider!, for which she won a Saturn award. She has also been featured as a correspondent for CNN, Access Hollywood, the Huffington Post and E!, as well as an NPR guest.
In 2013 Clare launched GeekNation, an entertainment and pop culture website. The online network serves as a home for inside entertainment news and commentary, covering everything from genre and sci-fi series and movies, to videogames, sports and technology. Podcasts and web series are shot in GeekNation’s 5,000-square-foot soundstage in Los Angeles for the site, which averages 6 million visitors per month.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer garnered one of the most loyal fandoms in television history, thanks to its blend of genres (horror, comedy, teen soap, tragedy, musical) and one of the most unique heroines ever seen on screen. Clare played the fictional character, Glory, who was the main antagonist of the fifth season.
Her most recent project off screen, is her directing role in the documentary “Joyrider.” The film tells the story of the 1st and only handcyclist, Andre Kajlich, to qualify for the Race Across America: a 3,000 mile and 12 day ride that crosses over 12 states. “Joyrider” captures the true athleticism and history making of USA’s Para triathlete who triumphs his past which led to a double amputation.
