Which actress played the Slayer Faith Lehane?

Eliza Dushku played the Slayer Faith Lehane.

Faith first appears in the third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, arriving in Sunnydale after becoming the latest Slayer called into action. Dushku's performance made Faith a compelling foil for Buffy Summers: both are powerful vampire hunters, but Faith's troubled upbringing, impulsiveness, and distrust of authority push her toward very different choices.

Initially, Faith fights alongside Buffy and the Scooby Gang. Her story darkens after an accidental killing, leading her to ally with Mayor Richard Wilkins during season three. The character later seeks redemption with help from Angel and returns to Sunnydale to fight alongside Buffy against the First Evil.

Dushku also played Faith in the spin-off Angel and in video games and other Buffyverse material. A common mix-up is confusing Faith's actress with the performers who played other recurring Slayers, including Kendra, portrayed by Bianca Lawson, and Buffy, portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar.
