James Marsters, whose biography began on August 20, 1962, was born in the town of Greenville, California. Then James, along with his mother, father, brother and sister moved to the city of Modesto. There and passed the childhood of this boy. Little Marsters was rather shy and timid. Only on the theatrical stage he was revealed completely. And in the theater, James played since childhood. The first production, in which James took part, was a fairy tale about Winnie the Pooh. There he played the role of the donkey Eeyore. After it, Marsters decided that he would be an actor and only an actor. His biography tells that James played in many productions during his school years. By the way, it was on the stage that the guy first kissed a girl. It happened at the age of fourteen. After graduation, James decided to continue studying at the Pacific Conservatory of acting. His biography says that there he studied from 1980 to 1982. James believes that it was at this time that he was taught everything that it was necessary to know in order to become a good actor. He repeatedly thanked his teachers with all his heart that they were able to invest in him so much necessary, and, most importantly, they were taught according to the Stanislavsky system. This system implies that the person is fully cope with the role. He feels his character, thinks like he does and acts like him during a game in the theater or on the set.
After graduating from the conservatory, James travels to New York and continues his studies at the very prestigious Juilliard Conservatory. But, he does not stand there even two years. As James himself said, they were taught there theories of acting, but were practically not allowed to practice, experiment, and the like. And it was exactly what James needed. In addition, he was oppressed not only by the teachers, but also by the building itself. On the last floor lay the violins of Stradivarius, who needed a specific temperature and climate. Because of this, the building had a specific smell. This, according to James, was the smell of pain.
Therefore, the guy dropped his studies, began to try to make a living. For a while he lived far from the best area of New York - Queens, where he worked part time as a waiter, then as a manager in a restaurant. It was at that time that he received his scar over his left eyebrow - one of the distinctive features of Spike's appearance. One evening, when the guy was returning from work, he was attacked by local thugs. At that time James was fond of drinking and was not in the best way of life until he moved to Chicago. He understood that he needed a theater, otherwise he would sink to the bottom. It was there that Marsters met with people who wanted to experiment on stage. They created their troupe and the first role of James became the role of Ferdinando from Shakespeare's "Storm". It is worth noting that the theater was really experimental, because in one scene James was taken to the audience naked, tied to the wheel, as it symbolized the ideal man da Vinci. It was there that he met his wife Liana Davidson. James loved her very much, like Sullivan's son. And for a long time did not realize that she was betraying him. As James said, he always believed that relationships can not be built on one sex, there must be support, loyalty and mutual understanding. Therefore, soon after the birth of Sullivan, he divorced his wife. But, nevertheless, I did not forget about my son. On the contrary, it was for him that James went to Los Angeles. The money earned in the theater was not enough to help the family. Therefore, James decided to try to sell, although it was against his life principles. That's how he got on the set of "Buffy". As we all know, Spike had to become a villain for one season, and became a hero for the whole series. James still remembers with pleasure the shooting. He says that they have always been a family. And the family, this is the most important thing in life, whatever it is, it remains your family. And if you refuse your family, you give up yourself.
In general, James is a very wise man. He reads a lot, is interested in art and never puts himself above others. He also does not like to discuss those who are with him. Especially women. He, like his Spike, is a real English gentleman, even though he is a purebred American. And yet, he is very devoted and loving. Perhaps that is why, after a divorce from his wife, James for a long time experienced a tragedy of the soul, did not meet with anyone or his novels did not last long. But, in the end, at one of the concerts of his group "The Ghost of the Robot" James met Patricia. The girl was his fan, and after a four-year novel, on January 14 this year she became a wife. Now James is really happy. Sometimes he withdraws, again he plays in the group "The Ghost of the Robot", now with his son, because in May the guy was fifteen. Also James sounded several books by Jim Butcher about the adventures of the magician-detective Harry Dresden.
James Marsters never aspired to world recognition. Perhaps that's why I got it. After the end of "Buffy" eight years have passed, but he is also remembered and loved. They love for his character, emotionality, humor, and also for nobility and wisdom. James - this is the person who should learn to be a real man.
