James Marsters on Sharon Osbourne Show Part 1

[@Lalalalala...]

Somehow he balances dorky, funny, cool, and charming perfectly!

[@jennyjimenez9722]

I’m 18 and really late in fangirling over James. I still love him even till this day.

[@lessismore8533]

Lol you Gen Zs really missed the exciting times! Of late 90s/early 2000s. Us 90s kids/teens went crazy over Spikes first appearance in 97

[@beajack4990]

It’s funny cuz I think being blonde suits him so much better than dark hair. It works with his features and it just looks better

[@ashleighrose8115]

I love James Marster's, I know he isn't THAT big of an actor, but even at the top of his buffy game he never let fame get to his head. He's such a humble, sweet guy. I miss him on buffy 😢

[@oksanan.6466]

Right. I wasnt in this country back than and didnt know how big he was. Watching these very old interviews i realize he was pretty big and he had so many doors open and he could have been such a big success. I forgot all about him till started rewatching Buffy few years ago again. This just makes me sad

[@HummingBird5713]

And we all still love him

[@dotti4224]

J love you Spike ♥️👍📺

[@Pcaara]

Oh my gooooshhhh...James is adorableeeee man, i love him both as Spike, and in person!! usually with stars you can tell when someone is putting on an act. but with him...it's..not possible!! he's so down to earth! and some of the things he says and some of the gestures he makes are so....CUTE o/////o

[@TheFallenAngelLegacy]

James (Spike) was the reason I fell in love with vampires when I was younger :)

[@staciamitchell2550]

I. 💘 you. As. Vampire. Come biet me

[@CharmedSlayerr]

I LOVE him. He's such an amazing actor, and he can really sing, too. He's such a cool guy, too. He's just the perfect guy to obsess over. :D

[@Rajdreamer]

He's just this amazing human being! I love this man.

[@matthewmann8969]

This guy needs to be in a tv show with him as the main character whether it be supernatural or not.

[@riggs20]

He's an amazing actor. IRL he seems funny and down-to-earth...the guy you'd bring home to meet mom & dad. Now the Spike character, he is cocky, sexy, and just bad news. He's the one you sneak off to meet when mom & dad think you're spending the night at a friend's house! ;-)

[@lessismore8533]

Yes I would definitely sneak off the find Spike some where

[@vikio452]

Oh, this is hilarious, Sharon is obviously SUCH a Spike fangirl. During the interview it looks like she's barely restraining herself from climbing into his lap and hugging/kissing him to death. Maybe Im just projecting my feelings here, but she does keep touching him :P

[@autumnnite1803]

HaHa! I thought the same but I'm also projecting coz come on, he's so damn hot!

[@HummingBird5713]

I wouldn't stop myself lol

[@lessismore8533]

@@autumnnite1803 he’s a hottie lol

[@kyliegiles5461]

I love him

[@cooljoeny69]

i loved the spike character.i heard that they were actually going to kill him off after a couple of episodes,but they thought that he was so good plus he was getting a lot of fan support even back then,so they changed there minds.that would been a huge mistake to kill him off.he is such an iconic character now.

[@lessismore8533]

Exactly! Spike is the fan fav of Buffy like Jack in Pirates

[@HikariYamino]

GAWD, CAN HE STOP BEING SO ADORABLE?!!

[@dusk78]

I think it's funny with all the British actors who play american roles, one of the best British roles is played by an American

[@parzivalsapprentice5665]

Te he he! I'm Batman!

[@russellward4624]

It was before the invasion. After this he got a bunch of English roles instead of actual English people. Lol

[@Kelseyreadsromance]

James Marsters is one of my fave actors I mean I know he’s going to be one of my favourite actors for a long time Even tho I’ve just started watching buffy two weeks ago and he’s already one of my fave actors and spike is my absolute fave character

[@angelalita77]

I love his theory on why he ignores those reminders of his fame and popularity. He's so down to earth and I guess that's the reason why he remained that way. I can't believe he was 44 or 45 then...he looks amazing!! XD

[@serpentsepia6638]

He's probably the first American to properly pull off a British accent.

[@Raea714]

Well that settles it, I just fell in love with James. I was already in love with Spike. Sigh. Thanks for posting.

[@desichick1111]

ughg..HES SO BEAUTIFUL

[@neetudolly]

omg hes so amazing i cant stop smiling!!!

[@jenniferwilliams8196]

Oh my goddess. I thought I wouldn't like him in this video because of his accent, but his regular voice is almost hotter than him doing an English accent. I really didn't think that was possible. Oh my god.

[@SabrinaMeShell]

He is such a gorgeous man, and talented actor. I love/Lust him.

[@kindred42]

I've secretly been geeking out for James masters for years....he's so damn adorable.... with and without the British accent. he's even more attractive here....I pray hes not an asshole in real life..lmfao.

[@LivingForTheJoker999]

I have said it before and I will say it again - I LOVE his laugh

[@FacheChanteDeux]

This takes me back! He is such a lovely guy. Very Pacific Northwest vibe.

[@OuttaEgypt]

He's so adorable, with or without the accent.

[@dreamachine88]

oh, he's beautiful.

[@katizie27]

Aw. What a cutie. He's awesome. He just makes me smile.

[@muddysnowangel]

bless his little soul could he be ANY more adorable?

[@righteousdude93]

and he's said before that anthony head (giles) from buffy helped him a lot with his accent too.

[@evaria666]

good god i love him so much

[@KelliesKitchen]

he is resson I watch buffy he rocks! and so vary good looking

[@pantamilion]

i love him to pieces he is so gorgeous and love him in buffy

[@KnotOfWallflowers]

hes so cute

[@Gmoviesmoothie]

These are the vampires I grew up with, these will always be what vampires look like to me, best show ever!

[@Butterfly-ue1ph]

You can just tell he is a mama’s boy the way he respectfully hugs Sharon!

[@KTTavi]

If you're a Marsters fan, contact NBC (website or Facebook) and let them know you think he'd be perfect as John Constantine (blond, British, bad-boy--er, man--sorcerer) in their new TV series. Constantine is a DC Comics character who is 35 when he first shows up, but unlike Spike, he ages (up to 60, I think).

[@WhyDoesSheLoveHim]

same!! he does the accent soo well.

[@Pokemanic4321]

best vampire ever!!!! better than the new vampires crap they have out now

[@gingerhipszky228]

Love him. He is a great audiobook reader, Harry Dresden books

[@athena606]

He's so awesome... SEriously somebody give that man a series.

[@raininess]

So darn cute.

[@ContrabandCarousel]

i like the blonde hair...

[@danielleoconnor3773]

OMG HES SO HUMBLE ITS CRAZY!

[@DiabolikalRA]

such an awesome guy

[@ursaMinor1]

i remember watching this when it first aired .. James is such a cutie!! love him

[@butterflyandme159]

I love this actor and really believed that he was British, i don't know how James (Spike ) managed to get this London cockney accent ??? He seems so humble and hope to see him in other tv series or movies...good luck to him

[@rachaelknudsen8801]

Anthony Stewart Head, who played Giles on Buffy, told him his accent was shaming him at home. So, he, from a part of England with the accent they wanted, and from what I gather, a accent coach, worked with Marsters and the accent improved.

[@arashmaharr]

Before Eric Northman was Spike. But I think Spike is still so present...

[@AutumnLove05]

OMG he sounds sooo different without the accent! still the hottest man alive

[@youaremydoctor]

He's so cute.. "Kissing Sarah.. Ohhhhhh..." Lol!! Go Spuffy. (And Bangel by the way, she can have both! :P)

[@AMJordanYT]

He's ridiculously adorable. Dammit.

[@angelsthingstarot8714]

aww Alf is my son’s favorite. He has the doll he got for free from a shelter give away

[@lmo222]

god i love spike sooooo much!

[@Luna13Cullen]

james marsters

[@missyfontana6762]

Hello eyecandy. (any torchwood fan gets that quote )

[@thehobonamer]

i can't believe he's almost 50, he looks AMAZING, he's over twice my age, and i'd still boink him, haha

[@AdamLapalloFilmmaker]

"And I got off the internet and I'm like 'I'm really cool!'"

[@michaeladayvgs]

My mind just automatically forces me to hear him speaking in a British accent. Like. I have no choice.

[@borgtennis]

Very very intelligent actor! Bravo. Loved Buffy and his work on Angel

[@angolson6108]

he's pretty hot

[@Cyborganna]

Understatement. 😍

[@Cyborganna]

@Dahlia's den 📰: News just in - People get older in Human condition shocker!

[@Cyborganna]

@Dahlia's den Just so we are clear.

[@angelsthingstarot8714]

He is absolutely correct and real. James is an amazing actor.

[@Maddluv4eric]

hes adorable

[@wotmot223]

He sings rockabilly pretty well too. You can find a lot of his songs on youtube.

[@asonnnyc]

i love him:X

[@SeaWitchinSeattle]

TEAM SPIKE!

[@uncletaylorify]

Of all the tricks to acting being able to switch between accents has always intrigued me the most. Some are horrible at it others excellent.

[@angelsthingstarot8714]

James needed his own show as Spike

[@PixieStixCreations]

he is too cute as usual ^. ^ I LOVE HIM!!!

[@AmiahConnel]

He should keep the British accent and blonde hair! OMG hes BEAUTIFUL!

[@skeletoncig]

I LOVE his hair he's so perfect and hot!!!

[@sydandtaytum]

i really like sharon. i wish she still had her own talk show.

[@nebiyouelias961]

thats how awesome he is.

[@GirlOfSpike]

He's so nice, and natural and funny! He's not only hot he also seems a really great guy! =) Thanks for sharing this Veiry!! :))

[@xNatalie24x]

I'm actually in shock. I had no idea he was American. His accent is flawless in Buffy. Anyone else think he is much hotter with the English accent.

[@katiejewels3028]

I don't think JM messes up his accent a lot. Besides didn't Spike live in America for quite some time. It actually would be more consistent that he would lose a little of his accent after living here for years and start pronouncing some words with an American accent. At least that's how it is for my husband. He was born and raised in Liverpool until he was 25. Moved to North Carolina at 26 for 8 years, then moved to Michigan where I'm from. He's now been in the U.S. for 21 years. He has lost a little of his Liverpool accent and pronounces some things American. Many of his friends who visit us from Liverpool tease him about his "Americanized" accent. I also have a friend from Australia who lived there until he was 30. He's been living in Michigan for 28 years now and has lost some of his Australian accent. His friends in Australia tell him he almost has no accent anymore, which he hates because he loved his Australian accent.

[@theresechristiansen9769]

Katie, JM was born in America! In northern California actually. He is an actor of the stage and put on many different accents "whatever I get paid for". So, yes, he lived/lives in America

[@SmallFaerie]

melissa christensan Katie is talking about the character Spike and how it doesn't really hurt his believability even when James doesn't manage to get the British accent 100%, since the character Spike has been living in America for quite some time.

[@theresechristiansen9769]

Ah, I see now, what she meant. Sorry about that!

[@freddybeer]

It's kind of a pass, playing a vampire. Lived in hundreds of different places for x amount of years, so it's totally acceptable an accent would be a hodge podge of accents. They did it with Chris Lambert in Highlander. An immortal with a bizarre accent.

[@nerdgant]

yeah, it was pretty trippy for me when I saw him talk regularly

[@6Melyssah6]

I believe he had informal lessons from Anthony Stewart Head when they were on set together for Buffy :)

[@amy2171987]

he's such a sweetie.

[@butterflyandme159]

Many thx to Anthony James Stewart who spoke such a good English, but as a good actor knows many ways of speaking this language ;-)

[@paniclouder]

i love his voice xD

[@maxgunn555]

anyone else not expect spike to be this bubbly? he was like the first 'badass' character i ever knew. maybe it's just the american accent adding to that as well. spike is so good.

[@davidkirkland4863]

Sorry, as a Londoner with a similar accident, he pronounces it correctly, with a cockney accent it's pronounced puf (i think the phonectic is with a chevron above the U) it's pronouced as a hard U not a double oo.

[@Cyborganna]

Accident? I've heard a few southerners pronounce it His way over the years. His Spike accent isn't Cockney, it's southern working class like Tony Head's. (Rupert Giles) 💖

[@Conraddalton39]

Dude! Buffy was on from around 1996-2003.

[@starfire35fan]

Spike is on Angel's show too??

[@Takaouto]

Lol. His British accent sounds more Australian when he's doing it off the cuff. XDD That makes him even more adorable. :)

[@Tadwinked]

Spike is hilarious, and James is funny in his on little weird way. He's definitely unique. And quite good looking in an 'old enough to be my father' sort of way. xD

[@zoenbaz]

i really love this guy and have done for years he just gets better, what a sweetie but wow is he sexy. and in real life he is some catch, funny intelegent and so damn nice. what can i say hes the guy my husband allows me to dream of.

[@alejandracisneros8768]

freaking hot!!!

[@mariancabigon3458]

I would love to see James M. and David B. to work together again...

[@FlamingAngel12]

Mistakes or no James Marsters is entirely too gorgeous to mock/make fun of or anything else!

[@mattc2911]

hex such a genuinely nice guy, unlike most mainstream actors like tom cruise and johnny depp who just pretend to care for publicity he seems to actually give a damn. it would be an honour and a privilege to have a pint with that man.

[@creativeannie]

Great video, what year is this?

[@Deathlygunn]

just to point out the clip in Darla is archive footage from a buffy episode

[@MsBobby1205]

Try watching season 5, it's better than the others. Just finished watching and already miss him ...

[@samiaziz5050]

What episode is that clip from? I just watched 'Origin' (5x18) and he seemed completely fine with and used to Illyria.

[@welshboy118]

how old is this. do you think that they would like bring them out again

[@Ravagefrenzy79]

@VeiritiAfterTheFall he returned as a ghost or spirit? never watched angel,should i have,heard it was good...seeing it's not on any of my channels should i go out and get the series? all of All of buffy (just thought he died) i have.

[@THEKlNG]

Have you seen the last season of Angel? Where he's the second lead for the whole season and a major role in the rest of the series???????????????
