James Marsters: The Vampire
Music: James Marsters - Just what I needed
Quick info:
Name: James Wesley Marsters
D.O.B: August 20th, 1962
Height: 5'11''
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dark brown (often bleached)
Nickname: N/A
Marital status: Divorced (one son with ex-wife)
James Wesley Marsters was born in Greenville, California, but most people believe that he is British. Why? Watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and you'll find out.
James got his big acting break-through when he took on the role of Spike the vampire in the hit TV-show 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. His first appearance was in season 2, when he played a vampire that tried to kill Buffy (don't they all). His character's girlfriend, the crazy vampire Drusilla (Juliet Landau), was also a new character that came on the show together wit
h Spike. The two of them even dated a little in real life, just to see if their human-chemistry was as good as their vampirical one.
Buffy fans immediately fell in love with the sassy and cocky Brit, who pranced around trying to kill the slayer in just about every episode, but never succeeded. He even ended up falling in love, and eventually dying for the slayer.
James portrays Spike in such a good way that people think that that's how he actually talks and walks in real life. When you sit down and talk to James, you expect to hear that Cockney-accent, but what you get is a thick Californian one. Also, fans believed that James was a lot younger than what he really is, because he seems to have stayed in remarkable shape all his life. Most fans believed him to be in his late thirties, as he did not reveal his age or date of birth in the beginning of his career.
James is not just a talented actor, he has also been a member of the recently broken-up band Ghost of the Robot. The band played
all around the US, at Buffy conventions, and the Knitting Factory, and other famous locations. They were very successful, but for unknown reasons they decided to break up. James was the lead singer of the band, and together they have given out one CD. James also has a solo-CD.
The band played songs they'd written themselves, and did covers too (mostly Nirvana and Bruce Springsteen).
