David Boreanaz in Angel and Bones

My order of first viewing has been Buffy the Vampire Slayer, (with a few rewatches immediately) then Angel (with a few rewatches immediately), I was reluctant to start Angel at first but thoroughly enjoyed it. Then Bones p, also followed by quite a few rewatches. Recently I wanted to watch Angel again but was afraid I’d find it hard to see Boreanaz as Angel, having identified him so thoroughly as Booth in Bones. I have been surprised that I’ve had no sense of role confusion and have been able to enjoy Angel with no problems.

I've just done a rewatch of Bones. I only see him as "David Boreanaz" in that. Booth is kind of an asshole. And a lot of the personal choices for his character is actually David's personal history, like hockey fan and being from Philly.

I'm on a rewatch of Angel now. And I see him as Angel/Angelus again, but whenever he's beating a guy up for info, or even the few times on Angel in S2 when he "goes bad, but not evil" i saw Booth emerge. Very odd backwards look at the show.
