Emma was raised in San Diego, and her interest in acting resulted in her enrolling at the La Jolla Playhouse and the Old Globe Theatre to study drama, where she also won the “Excellence in Theatre Arts” honor. She additionally perfected her skills at The American School in Switzerland (TASIS) in London. However, her first notable role only came in 1995, when she appeared in “Beverly Hills, 90210” as Susan Keats, Brandon Walsh’s girlfriend, staying in the show for thirty episodes before leaving in 1996. Two years later, she landed her most famous part to date in the WB hit show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, in which she played Anya Jenkins. Although her character was meant to appear for two episodes only, the show’s creator decided to add her to the main cast after an unexpectedly good response from the audience, and for which in 2003 she was nominated for a Satellite Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Drama Series, and won a Saturn Award in the category of Cinescape Genre Face of the Future Award (Female). Her net worth was well set.
Emma appeared in her first horror movie in 2003, called “Darkness Falls”, which achieved good results and debuted at no. 1 in the US box office. A year later she was also seen in an episode of “Monk” as Meredith Preminger. Caulfield portrayed a fictionalized version of herself in “Bandwagon”, a movie written and directed by her close friend, actress Karri Bowman, then in 2007 Emma appeared in the short film “Hollow”, which earned her a Best Actress in a Short Film award at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role at the Sydney Film Festival. She then starred in “TiMER” an independent feature film released in May 2009. Her appearance as the Blind Witch on ABC fantasy series “Once Upon a Time” in 2012 was very well-received and critically acclaimed, and when it comes to her more recent activity, Caulfield has appearances in episodes of TV series “Training Day” and “Fear the Walking Dead” in 2017.
Emma is also the co-author of webcomic “Contropussy” by IDW Publishing, adding to her wealth.

[on Anya's death in "Chosen," the series finale of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"] [Anya's death] was so abrupt and so sad. But I think that it made the whole journey that much more poignant that she did die that way. She didn't get a big maudlin send-off, it was just quick and to the point -- very Anya in that respect.

[on her character of Anya in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"] Anya was one of the most effortless jobs, but also the most challenging because she had so many layers. I was constantly walking a fine line in order to keep her real and funny.

[on Buffy the Vampire Slayer] That was a period of my life that I am grateful to have had and it helped shape me in many ways. But it's over and anything creative that I had to give I gave it then.

My favorite role is not one I did on a show; I played a woman named Oona in a film called Timer, which was released earlier this year [2009]. I loved the character and everything about the film. Of everything I've done, that's the one I'm most proud of.

[H]aving been on "Buffy" for many years I cannot escape the "bunny thing," it's ridiculous. I think it was maybe four episodes where it was referenced and now I'm synonymous with this bunny. For the record, no, I don't hate them - it was just my character.

I don't think I will ever get to play a character like Anya ever again. It was such a cultural phenomenon, and so well written.

[about the character she played in Darkness Falls (2003)] She's the complete opposite of Anya. She's a sexually repressed, small-town schoolteacher
with a bombshell body, but you wouldn't know it because she hides it
with layers. It's symptomatic of what's going on in her life. [February 2, 2003]

[about her last day on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) set:] It was that sense that everything is coming to an end, like high school when you're about to graduate -- you really start taking notice of everyone, and noticing your surroundings. Especially when they start destroying sets that are no longer in use. Like, 'Oh my God, that used to be Xander's apartment, now it's just floors and a wall!' The last day, I really didn't think I was gonna cry at all. But as soon as they said: 'That's a show wrap for Emma Caulfield!', I cried. I cried once, and that was it. I woke up the next morning like, 'OK, what's next?'" [May 21, 2003]

[asked to name her most prized possession:] My cats. Bjorn and Brian Dennehy. They're Abyssinian. They're amazing, they're really like dogs. I actually went to a psychic once, and she said, 'You have two cats.' And I said, 'Yes, I do.' And she said, 'Yeah, there's one in particular, he's brown, he's a deep thinker, that cat.' So every time I see Bjorn staring into the fire, I'm like, 'Are you having deep thoughts, Bjorn?'" [February 2, 2003]

I was in London during my first sci-fi convention for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) and I was at the local bar, having a drink, writing in my journal, and this woman came up to me and said, "Do you want a drink? I said, "No, thank you. She pushed it a couple of times, and each time I said, "No, really I'm fine. Then she turned really cold, looked at me and said, "Someday these conventions will be your only outlet. I was like, wow, thanks, peace out, OK. [February 2, 2003]

I'm a ridiculous sci-fi fan. In fact, I admit it freely; my manager is horrified. I just recently bought seasons two through five of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) on DVD. And I've watched all the episodes, half on the plane and a few of them as I was going to sleep last night. There's something about sci-fi that's comforting. [February 2, 2003]

I don't know that I want to act 15 years from now. I mean, I love the process of acting, but not the masochism. No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace.
On the 6th season Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) DVD, Joss Whedon says that her singing and dancing talents in the musical episode "Once More With Feeling" most surprised him over everyone else's talents in the cast. He gave Emma an additional singing number later in the series.
