James Trivia
*Gained the scar on his left eyebrow when he was mugged whilst living in Queens
*Is left-handed.
*Won the Sexiest Male Vampire Award at the Nocturnal 2K Convention in London, England. (July 2000)
*Graduated from Davis High School in Modesto, California.
*Studied at Juilliard, the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, and the American Conservatory Theatre.
*While doing regional theatre in Chicago, he co-founded the New Mercury Theatre company (named after Orson Welles' "Mercury Theatre"). In 1990, New Mercury's founders packed the operation up and relocated to Seattle in the hopes of finding more opportunity; they played there for a number of years, using any available space, including the basements of restaurants and churches, but eventually found themselves a more permanent space near Pioneer Square.
*Is instantly recognisable chiefly for his platinum blonde bleached hair. He has to bleach his hair regularly to play 'Spike' on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He recommends adding four to seven packets of Sweet 'n' Low to the bleaching solution, to take the sting out.
*Has a HUGE cult following in the Sci-Fi/fantasy community. There are (literally) hundreds of websites dedicated to him and his immensely popular vampire character 'Spike' on the internet.
*He lived at one point (possibly still living there) in a house right on the beach. He once said during an interview that the worst part of living there was that because of his role on 'Buffy: The Vampire Slayer', he couldn't go out on the beach for any length of time because he'd pick up a tan.
*Fronts a band called Ghost of the Robot. The band's first album is expected Summer 2002.
*His appearance at the 2002 Shore Leave sci-fi convention was so popular that a great number of fans had to watch his Q&A sessions from specially set up monitors outside the conference hall. Despite the almost Beatlemania-like overcrowding at the event, he stayed on for over 2 hours after he was scheduled to leave to ensure every single fan who'd waited in line got an autograph.
