James Marsters
James Marsters is probably most well known as the bad ass vampire Spike in the hit tv show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. James Wesley Marsters, 40, grew up in Modesto, California. He decided when he was just three years old that he wanted to be an actor. He studied at Juilliard and has done a lot of work in theatre. He loves theatre acting, having owned his own theatre company called The New Mercury, but also loves his work on Buffy — especially the violent scenes and stuntwork. James listens to all kinds of music, from Radiohead to the Sex Pistols, and is also left handed. The scar on his left eyebrow is from an attempted mugging in New York, but the more interesting one is the one on his left leg: he shredded it on a sprinkler head as a child ("My leg slid down my bone like a sock"), was off his feet for almost a year, and the hair there grows sideways due to the skin graft he had done. James is an admitted night owl, but not really into partying — he doesn't drink, does smoke, and he takes joy in late night cable television. His hobbies include driving in the desert, playing guitar, singing, painting, and writing. James lives in Los Angeles.

"Spike is a sociopath. Spike has fun
hurting people. Spike is a man without guilt. Spike is a man for whom the world
has been opened, and he can get what he wants when he wants it. Spike does not
carry a wallet. When Spike sees something, he takes it." James Marsters
