Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar has confessed she stalked Robin Williams until he gave her a part in his new TV series The Crazy Ones.

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer actress was so desperate to play the Oscar winner’s on-screen daughter that she even phoned his friends and asked them to convince him she was right for the part.

Speaking to E! 36-year-old Gellar said: "(I got the part because of) Robin Williams and I stalked him. I even called his best friend and I was like, ‘I have to be on this show. Please tell Robin!' I really did."

The Crazy Ones, which follows father-daughter duo Simon and Sydney Roberts, who run an advertising agency together, will premiere on U.S. network CBS later this year. Here’s hoping we’ll get to see it in Ireland soon.
