BIOGRAPHY: James graduated from Davis High School and attended Juilliard, the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, and the American Conservatory Theatre. After spending ten years doing stage work he finally moved to L.A. to pursue a career in film and television. After appearing in several guest roles he finally got his big break as Spike in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997). Originally the character was suppose to be killed after a few episodes but Spike became so popular that he became a regular on the show. After the show ended he appeared as Spike in the spin-off "Angel" (1999) and in several movies. James is also a talented musician; his band Ghost of the Robot released their first album, Mad Brilliant.
TRIVIA:
- Has long harbored a desire to direct a film adaptation of "Macbeth." He frequently cites the Shakespeare tragedy as his favorite play.
- Was recognizable in public chiefly for his platinum-blond-bleached hair. He had to bleach his hair regularly to play Spike on _"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997)_ (qv). In a famous "Entertainment Weekly" interview, he admitted to adding four to seven packets of Sweet 'n' Low to the bleaching solution, to take the sting out. When the show ended, Marsters had his bleached hair shaved on TV (to sell for charity) and reverted back to his normal brown hair.
- Has played two of Superman's arch enemies. On the TV series _"Smallville"(2001), he played Milton Fine, AKA "Brainiac." In the animated video _Superman/Doomsday (2007)_, he played the voice role of Lex Luthor.
- Studied at Juilliard, the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, and the American Conservatory Theatre.
- (July 2000) Won the Sexiest Male Vampire Award at the Nocturnal 2K Convention in London, England.
- Loves filming the violent scenes and stunt work on "Buffy" and takes great pride in doing his own stunts
- Auditioned for the part of Praetor Shinzon in _Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)_ (qv).
- He says Spike is the best role he's ever had because he's been able to play so many different sides of him.
