[@jinixidare1280]

I am in my very early 20's and he is hot. He is attractive as a older man,but. It is his attitude. He is comfortable with who he is. And he does not try to hide it behind a hairpiece. I have stalked him over 20 KZbin interviews (in a good way as a fan). I love his acting in the Blacklist and a darker love story called The Secretary. I will admit I would not mind James as Reddington spanking me.

[@LoomofDreams]

I’ve loved him since Sex, Lies, and Videotape. He has this natural vulnerability that is so freaking sexy. I absolutely love him in Blacklist; he’s so quirky (and seems very much like himself with all the story-telling and kid-like enthusiasm) and so very intense. His eyes communicate so much. And I agree - he’s very sexy! That voice … swoon!

Blacklist is awesome

[@donHooligan]

...but beware, there is tome toxic "feminism" in the latter episodes. Liz seems to think she has every right in the world to make stupid decisions that harm everyone around her. ...cuz she wants to know stuff, even after proving she isn't ready.

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

@@donHooligan That's a really dumb take on the series. Liz behavior has nothing to do with feminism. She has been lied to her entire life about nearly everything and after the most wanted man in the world stepped into her life, after all she went through and what she discovered about her past it's no surprise that she acts kinda crazy in certain situations.

[@sieragrace9584]

I love his story that starts at 2:19. Seeing Red lay on the couch like that to describe the 'way-back' is priceless. I remember doing that. James Spader is just so funny, sexy and eccentric, with a voice that breathes into the air like silk. Simply Love & Adore Jamesy! ❤

[@FishbowlPhenom]

This is one of those actors who comes more and more into his own as he gets older. He's proving way more appealing as an elder thespian.

[@andyl4822]

James Spader is such a peculiar possum. He really brings that kind of unpredictable off-kilter weirdness to all his roles (which I love!), but I don't know if I could hold a conversation with him. He's just so intense and fascinating. I have no idea how that convo would go. Or where it would go lol

[@coryddp7254]

Incredible career but for me it will always be Boston Legal which is one of my favorite shows of all time.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Boston Legal made me actually bother to see what the fuss is about cigars. Turns out unlike cigarettes, they're genuinely tasty, especially if paired with a nice brandy or whiskey. Introduced me to James Spader, and made me appreciate Admiral William Shatner more, too.

[@justsaying3729]

Mine too!!! I am watching it now as we speak. So glad they brought it back. So much truth regarding our political system and society. As true today as it was when it was produced years ago. I believe the Bush era, Clinton & when Obama ran against McCain. 2008.

[@TheEternali333]

Literally paused an episode I was watching to watch this clip. Alan Shore is truly missed.

[@SpaceForceCommander]

I would never smoke or drink but the thought of ending the day sitting on a comfortable single-seater on a balcony with a good friend is still alluring. PS Boston Legal’s theme song is still one of the catchiest of all time.

[@andyl4822]

I definitely have to throw in his arc on the office. I know it's such an obvious thing to say and honestly I'm not even one of those people that fell in love at the office right away. I think I actually just started watching it last year. But the way he chews his inner cheek while staring people in the eye with uncomfortably long pauses and then says something way too sexual or sounds-like-it-might-actually-just-be-so-crazy-it's-brilliant just killed me. He was so funny With that character.

[@wrylife57]

In the early '60s my family had a massive Chevy station wagon--a boat, really, black with a red interior--and us kids always got to ride in the wayback. We also ignored seat belts and would sometimes climb over the back seat while the car was in motion to get to the wayback. Honestly, until I saw this interview I thought that was just my own family's name for it. James Spader, are we related? lol
