iF: Any other shows that you guys are fans of, that you would like actors to guest spot from?

SINGER: I thought BUFFY had a great cast, and we used Amber Benson. I’d like to get Spike [James Marsters] on our show. I never thought I would particularly like BUFFY, but my wife got me hooked on it, and I was hooked on him. Plus, that series was so well written. It was so smart.

LAST GIG FOR SPRING FEVER TOUR

Due to public demand, James has added a final gig to his forthcoming UK Spring Fever trip with an intimate warm-up concert in the heart of London's West End on Wednesday, May 2.

120 tickets will be available for this close-up gig and first chance (from today) will go to the small number of fans who had to be refunded because of over-sales on the Spring Fever event. All other tickets will go on sale from the website at 1pm UK time on Sunday 28th January. Further details of venue and seating will be available at this time.

Due to the nature of the venue we will need to know in advance if anyone requires wheelchair access.

JM.com: January Q&A
From: http://www.jamesmarsters.com/qa.html

January

Most people remember where they were and what they were doing on September 11. Where were you and what were your thoughts about that day?
I was filming on the set of Buffy. Sarah stopped filming, shut down the set, and she and I went with her mother to try and find a place of worship to pray and to get some silence. We were the only two New Yorkers on that show.

Has anyone ever intimidated you? If so, who and why?
I get intimidated all the time, mostly by talent, and most recently by Kathy Bates who was a total sweetheart with a spine of steel and who gave me no reason to fear her.

How do you approach emotional changes within your character when the scenes are shot out of sequence?
Just remember why you came in the room and what you want from the person opposite you and then the brain takes care of the rest. It’s like catching a ball - the brain takes care of the math. But you have to know those two things.

I've noticed for both the Buffy and Angel DVD sets that you very rarely appear in the outtakes. Does that mean it was rare to catch you making a mistake on set?
Correct! (He laughs.) Early in my tenure I almost got fired for making three jokes in a makeup trailer. I decided that my only good defense was to be perfect.

During the Macbeth Q&A you were asked about Method vs. Shakespeare. Part of your answer was that the two don't marry very well. May I ask your thoughts then of Marlon Brando's portrayal of Mark Antony, bearing in mind that he was a Method actor in the truest sense of the word.
Brando showed himself to be an apt technician. He respected the meter and the line and gave a credible Shakespearean performance. I think there was less method in that performance than you’d suspect.

How have you changed or evolved as a musician since this all started?
(Long silence) I’m wondering if I've evolved at all since it all started. I'm better with my changes, I take longer to write my lyrics, and I rehearse more before I perform. But I wonder if I've evolved.

Favorites:

Toy you played with as a child: GI Joe and my rescue copter.
Time of Day: Late afternoon-early evening when the sun is still bright but low in the sky and the shadows are long.
Household chore: Putting up Christmas decorations.

Next session: February 15

JM.com: James' Greetings for the New Year
From: http://www.jamesmarsters.com/home.html

Greetings for the New Year

1-10-07 - I saw some of you in New York. I had a great time there - made good friends, worked a little bit and enjoyed the city. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience on the film "P.S. I Love You." If I survive the editing process, I should have a juicy little role. Happy New Year to everybody. New Year's is a good time for new beginnings and I think we need that right now.

James
