Does James have a Myspace page or any other personal page?
No.  James is not involved in any online activity except for providing his management the
personal messages and Q&A responses published on both of his official sites,
jamesmarsters.com and jamesmarsterslive.com.  
                                                
When is James coming to "my country, my state, my city"?
This is by far his most commonly asked question.  James' events and concerts are always subject to many and varied considerations, so it's almost impossible for him to ever answer this question, other than with the noncommittal, but very sincere, "I'd love to!"  Rest assured that the minute an event and destination are planned you will hear about it here first!       
                                                                                                 
What's the latest on the Spike movie?
James has expressed his desire to revisit the character of ‘Spike’ if the powers that be are ready to do so within a sensible time frame of about five years, since actors age and vampires don't.  Anything beyond expressing interest and desire is really out of James’ and his representative’s control.  For now, the project appears to be tabled by those in a position to make production decisions.  James continues to enjoy all the interest and joy the character of ‘Spike’ seems to have brought to his fans and thanks everyone for their continued support.      
                                                                   
When did he get the eyebrow scar?
When he was in college and living in Astoria-Queens in New York City, he was  walking home late one night after a bartending job, and a guy came up to him and, as James says, "he just 'pasted' me with some brass knuckles saying 'gimme your money."  James mouthed off to him, and then proceeded to get "the heck beat out of me." James has said that Todd McIntosh, the makeup artist for Buffy, liked the scar and definitely accentuated it for the role of Spike. 

Is James' accent on Buffy real?
No, James is actually from California. He faked the accent for the show.  

When is his birthday?
James’ birthday is 8/20/1962.  

Where can I send fan mail?
You can write to James via his fan mail address, which can be found here . 

What is some of his favorite Spike dialog?
Unfortunately, his memory of doing Buffy was to get the lines right and move on to the next scene. With twenty hour days, and dumping the previous day's memorization for the next one, it's very difficult for him to come up with any specific line. He has mentioned liking  ‘he’s a biig fluffy puppy with bad teeth.’ 

What is his favorite color?
Green - "the color of mother earth." 

What are some of his favorite musical influences?
He has mentioned Kurt Cobain, Bruce Spingsteen, Bob Dylan, Tom Waites, Miles Davis, and punk rock in general, just to name a few.  He has frequently said he hears Joni Mitchell's influence when writing his melodies. 

Will he ever return to the theater?
He'd love to do serious theater, and he does miss the live interaction with an audience. However, he feels that LA is not the best theater town, and his family responsibilities have him tied to the west coast for the next ten years or so, making the long time-commitment of a play in other locations difficult. 

What is his favorite book?
"Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" written by Charles Mackay about one hundred years ago.  It's about the gullibility of people throughout history, and what lengths they will go to to try and beat the three things that humans will never be able to avoid in their lives -- toil, death, and ignorance of the future. He finds that aspect of human nature fascinating.
               
Does he have a favorite episode of Buffy?
The musical "Once More with Feeling." He thought it was probably as good as any episode ever produced on television. He was very proud to have been a part of it.

Is it hard for him to sing on stage in front of people?
He says it was scarier when performing with Ghost of the Robot (now disbanded) because he was singing other people's lyrics that were not always in his vocal range. But now he's more comfortable performing because he is singing his own material.

Does he go online and visit all his websites or read fanfiction?
He says that celebrity can be a toxic thing psychologically and so avoids the seduction of the internet.  He says it's too easy to get puffed up from all the nice things fans say about him, so to stay grounded, he stays offline.

When did James start acting?
In fourth grade after performing as Eeyore in his school's production of "Winnie The Pooh."  He found acting a fun escape and that he had a talent for it, so he was hooked from then on. 

How does he go about writing his songs?
He usually writes at night and at home.  He has said the chorus generally comes first, then the verses. "The lyrics might come to me just as I’m walking around and then I’ll try to find what chords these are." 

If forced to choose between acting and music, which would it be?
Acting. He loves it and says, "I'm addicted to it."  However they are both important to him and he sees no reason to ever have to choose between them.  He enjoys "having his cake and eating it too." 

Does he play any other musical instruments?
No, he doesn't.

Where would he most like to visit and why?
"Half the places I visited aren’t as cool as I’d hoped.   Half of them are better, so it’s always a potshot.  I would like to visit Tibet.   I just don’t know if it will be as cool as I expect it to be.  I have high expectations of Tibet."

Does he keep up with any of the Buffy cast members?
"No I don’t - but I think of a few of them with warmth often. "

Where does he see himself in ten years time?
 "I see myself finally looking distinguished and making oodles of cash off of that fact."

What advice does he have for an aspiring actor?
Make sure that you can find the joy in it.  All the actors that really make it are still just tickled about the process of acting.  Only that joy will carry you through everything else.

Life, but the female side of it specifically.  Women, all women.  Jeez, they're all so cool...
