I'm just tossing this out, but could SMG be having a tougher time shaking the 'Buffy' image? Be it from a perception issue from the industry, or w/ her own identity and how she's approaching her career. I don't know, and I'm not real sure even if I have a preference of one over the other. Both are smokin' hot and flat out fun to watch.

I don't know... i get where you are coming from b/c of well anyone that's been on a pre- enterprise star trek series. esp the original cast.

Once, while having sex in a tractor-trailer, part of Chuck Norris' sperm escaped and got into the engine. We now know this truck as Optimus Prime.

I think Hannigan was not too choosy or stuck up when selecting her movie roles. Her role in American Pie was self-depreciating, and many actresses do not want to do that, particularly those who consider themselves "stars".
I think she really did well that way.
SMG has always struck me as too glossy, shallow. Sorry if that bothers you.

Plus, Alyson has been acting in movies since an early age. Who else remembers her and Seth Green in My Stepmother is an Alien?

I had forgotten Seth was in that movie, but for the longest time, I always remembered her. Odd as it may seem, I thought her acting in that movie was ... bad. I could't exactly figure it out, but she seemed to me to be, well, not that she was pretty, but that her acting was simply out of place. For some reason, she stuck out as being an odd choice for that movie. It wasn't until years later, well after I'd seen Buffy, that I put 2 and 2 together and remembered she was " that girl " from that Alien movie.
I'd also like to forget that she was in one of those lame spoof movies. Gawd, those are awful.

Could be the hollywood limelight has lost much of it's mesmerizing glare for Sarah Michel Gellar. Maybe she's more pragmatic about the life/work roles? She's been acting since a very young age. Who knows...
However even if she goes on to do very little else with her career she'll always have Buffy on her CV. And her Buffy is now well an truly one of the all time great female characters, and certainly an iconic one... I'd say that's plenty to be proud of.
Eliza? Well I hope her new found role as a producer might see her to doing great works also. Dollhouse is a good start.
All the best to the both of them I say.

Eliza has been more successful because it's easier to compete in television. Sarah set her sites on film. This isn't a number of people per number of spots, it's that film is what people go into, and tv is what people leave, and to there's always an old guard in film which is difficult to replace. Additionally, film makers are much more concerned about how much of a draw a particular actor will be, and less likely to experiment with an unknown.
Myself, I'd rather be a Summer Glau Tricia Helfer sandwich
