James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dragonball) joins me this week to share his experiences with acting as an art on-screen and on-stage before his breakout in Buffy.
James also opens up on what it was like to have to take in his five year old niece and having to raise her as his own after already being a ‘weekend dad.’
We also get into stories back in the day on the set of Smallville, the idea of competition in art, and James’ experience with some of the cast and crew on Buffy.

James and I were best friends back in the 80s. We met as waiters at a place called Monday's in the Intercontinental Hotel on Michigan Avenue. He was making a name for himself in theater in Chicago and living in Rogers Park. One of the most genuine, authentic, and awesome people I had the pleasure to know. I watched his apartment on Greenland Avenue when he got married and checked in on his brother, Paul, while James was in Cali.

Spike´s popularity was the best thing that ever happened to Buffy´s story arc, gave the story and the characters so much depth. I was so grateful for Spike, he´s still my favorite character, he represented redemption and taught us about the complexity of the human experience. Buffy was probably the first TV show that blurred the lines between heroes and antagonists, he was the Jamie Lannister of the early '00s and as a troubled teen in the process to be a troubled young adult I was thankful for that, I needed that. Thank you, James, for giving life to such a multilayered, self-destructive, charismatic, and unforgettable character

Then one day, he backed James up against to the wall and screamed at him (for like, why is he being popular in the show). LIKE WHAT THE HELL?

Here's the thing he's not a genius and, if you go back and, watch his work as an adult. You see the creep come out in his work. Everything about it screams look what I think of people.

@@joshuareynolds23 I don't like Xander much either(except maybe for Nicholas Brendan's comedic timing), not as a character. He is such an aggressive "nice guy", completely unable to take accountability for anything, and ignoring and belittling anything or anyone that showed him the mirror. The only times I did like him was when he hated on Angel, because however misguided his intentions behind it, it was the most sensible reaction to the creepy vampire that everyone should have had.

I know a way James could come back as Spike. The Shanshu prophecy said that after the great battle a vampire with a soul would get to be human. Angel signed away his claim to the prophecy, and it was never really determined if it was Angel or Spike the prophecy was talking about. Spike could have been made human and is now living as a 57 year old, still fighting evil, perhaps as a watcher to a new slayer.. If this happens, I want my royalty for the idea. :-)

I'm British, and all through Buffy and Angel, I truly thought James was English, his accent is that good. It's very rare that an American actor pins a British accent so convincingly. In fact, I can't think of a single US actor with such a notable British accent. Other than Dick Van Dyke, but his accent is notable only for it's comedic value."Gor bloimey Maary Poppins".

@Brook11223 4 года назад

James Marsters is a gem period. He is the definition of awesomeness. I had no idea he was American when I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer during the 90's. He masked his american accent so well and was just convincing as a Brit. Anthony Head his dialect coach did an amazing job training Masters. His Irish accent when he guest starred in Hawaii Five-O portraying Victor Hess was perfection as well. When he played Braniac in Smallville you felt he was a living computer and his Lex Luthor from Superman: Doomsday was badass.

Since Whedon called himself a male feminist, it was no wonder that he couldn't understand why the fans loved Spike as a romantic partner for Buffy. Spike didn't lie about who he was. He was unapologetically evil, and he chose to become a better person despite his lack of a soul. Angel was a neutered vampire, who turned into an incredibly evil person when he lost his soul again. Spike also had obscene amounts of charisma. He added conflict and humour, and I loved every interaction with Giles. I wish they would do another Torchwood series and have James return.

I still can't get over how he would say "Xander" in season four, when he's trying to hide from The Initiative.

My favorite thing Spike said (to Giles) was, "Oh, poor watcher. Did your life flash before your eyes? Cuppa tea, cuppa tea, almost got shagged, cuppa tea..." Hilariously funny!!!

This was such a good interview. I just started a Buffy rewatch. I loved the show when it aired. I was probably too young to watch it when it started, I think I was 10, but it’s still one of my favorite shows. I don’t want to give a major spoiler for anyone who hasn’t watched the series yet, but one specific episode really helped me through my fathers death when I was 14. Such a great show and James is awesome in everything he’s in.

Hooray! You know I’ve been waiting for you to have James on for years! Can’t wait to listen/watch and already started getting the word out to my fellow Buffy fans to check it out!! This is sure to be a good one! ♥️

Love this episode just wanted to let you know Michael you're the reason I seeked help for my issues I thought here's a guy I thought I had it all but he's been having trouble and he's talking about it openly so I seeked professional help and just having someone to talk to and tell you you got a raw deal and that your not a piece of garbage changed my outlook on life and especially how I looked at myself can't thank you enough you gave me courage and strength I thought I never had and I don't blow smoke just me being honest so from the bottom of my heart thank you

@BadWilf 4 года назад

As a Brit, I think I can say James’ accent as Spike is pretty good. It’s almost there, it sounds like the accent of a Brit whose lived in America for a while, which of course. Spike was. As a Londoner, Spike would say “Carn’t” instead of “can’t”, but if he’s lived in America a while, then certain word pronunciations would change etc

@JohnSmith-mz5co 3 года назад

@@oksanan.6466 one of the greatest sci-fi/fantasy books. Great characters non stop action and suspense. And the audiobook is narrated by masters. He is the voice of the main character. The soul of Harry Dresden. The one book he didn’t do was Ghost story. And the book was not right. It lacked something. The the fans raged and masters recorded the same book and it changed it. Made it better. Good listen and read.

Another really fun and engaging episode. Loved every minute and especially seeing Michael's dog Blanche ;0). I have been a fan of James's talent for years. After watching this episode, I am a fan of him as a human being. What an incredible act of love to take in an raise his niece as his own. I am so glad he was able to come on the podcast. Really made my day!

@LokiDB83 3 года назад

Long time listener, first time watcher. I love how open people are with you and that when they let you know there’s a line you don’t try to cross it and the conversation just continues naturally. Really enjoyed this format, I will have to go back and watch a lot of the casts that I’ve already listened to. It was funny seeing some of the expressions that James made when he was contemplating his answers.

As a Brit, I have to agree with James. His accent at the beginning wasn’t so great but it got a lot better. Especially compared to one or 2 other “british” characters. 🙊😂 His was by far the best. I always chuckle at little phrases Spike said that were very British. Loved to see it! I really like Anthony Head too. The Nescafé Gold Blend man. Those that know, know. Thanks for another great episode. James is such an awesome guy! Loved it.

@lwaves 4 года назад

I know. It's still the best serial advertising ever created IMO. It had the nation hooked. I really want Anthony Head on this podcast. Even though his accent wasn't great at the start, it was good enough to convince me he was English and putting on a London accent. The other odd thing was that I saw Alexis Denisoff in the show Bugs and thought he did a really bad American accent. Little did I know at the time.
