How I met James Marsters
He was doing a signing session at Forbidden Planet in Leeds, I queued for ages to meet him and when I did all I could manage was an awe-struck and high-pitched “hi”
He signed my autograph with kisses.
James Marsters (placeholder)
JAMES MARSTERS, may best be known around the world for his ever popular cult character “Spike,” the punk-goth vampire who he played on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel” for the past seven years. After working 6 years on the hit show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” he made the move to “Angel” for the last season it aired. A fan favorite, Marsters has received and been nominated for numerous awards worldwide.
Born in the remote northern logging town of Greenville, California, and raised in Modesto, California, Marsters always knew he wanted to be an actor. From his debut as ‘Eyeore’ in a fourth grade production of “Winnie the Pooh”, he went on to study acting at New York’s prestigious Julliard. He began his professional career in the theater, performing in stage productions such as “The Tempest” and “Red Noses” at Chicago’s renowned Goodman Theater. In addition, Marsters revisited the stage in Los Angeles, with a starring role in an original play produced by Noah Wyle titled, “The Why.”
Marsters made his on-screen debut guest-starring on the television series “Northern Exposure”. He landed the prominent role of an ill-at-ease priest, which was cast locally in Seattle, soon after moving to the Pacific Northwest. He was inspired by the success to move to Los Angeles and within months was sinking his proverbial teeth into the role of ‘Spike’ in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. Marsters, no stranger to television, starred in the anthology series “Strange Frequency” for VH1, as well as in Gene Roddenbury’s “Andromeda.” Other credits include the feature film “The House of Haunted Hill.”
When he’s not working, Marsters enjoys being a father, playing the guitar, watching football, and spending time with friends at the beach. He is also a successful singer/songwriter who was the front man of the now defunct band, Ghost of the Robot. Together, the band sold out tours on an international level.
He recently finished a very triumphant tour of the UK and Australia, in conjunction with the promotion of his solo album, Civilized Man.

He seems like lots of fun and I’d love to interrogate him about his job as an actor. Lunch with him would be nice. :-) Or drinks in the evening. :P

A story about James Marsters
My mom and I went to my first Buffy con in Chicago. He is only about 5’8” and very thin. Not intimidating or sexy in the least, but very nice and has that charisma that a lot of actors and entertainers seem to have. I saw him at the cocktail meatNgreet along with other actors and people from the show. I did catch his eye for a few seconds and got a smile, but we didn’t talk. He’s a cute guy up close, but his age is showing.
