== Bones and Beyond ==

"Bones" (2005-2017), in which Boreanaz starred as FBI agent Seeley Booth opposite Emily Deschanel's forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, demonstrated his ability to transition from genre television to mainstream procedural. The show's twelve-season run represented network television longevity that few performers achieve, his chemistry with Deschanel anchoring a program that mixed crime procedural with romantic comedy. The role's distance from Angel—a living human rather than supernatural creature, a law enforcement officer rather than vigilante—demonstrated versatility that expanded his audience.<ref name="stafford"/>

His current work on "SEAL Team," playing a Navy SEAL, continues his network television presence while again shifting genres. The military drama, premiering in 2017, represents another successful series in a career built on long-running commitments to projects that reward his involvement with stability and visibility. This durability—the ability to anchor series across decades and genres—confirms abilities that individual roles cannot fully demonstrate.<ref name="havens"/>
