Isn't he a cutie? In a manly way of course...
James' acting background stems mostly from work in the theater. It's a pretty impressive background at that. James has trained at Julliard, PCPA, and the American Conservatory Theatre. James has embarked upon a number of adventrues into Shakespeare land, among them "Troilus and Cressida" and "Twelfth Night" (at Julliard in New York). He has also appeared in the work of another renowned playwright, Tennesee Williams' "Camino Real." While in Chicago, James worked at the Goodman Theatre, where he appeared in "Tempest" and "Red Noses." He also played in the "The Normal Heart" at the Next Theatre. Perhaps drawing him
to the punky-alternative look of Spike, James has worked in Seattle in the American Conservatory Theatre's productions of "Handing Down the Names" and "Voices in the Dark." As far as television work goes, prior to his role as Spike on Buffy The Vampire Slayer Series, James appeared in episodes of "Moloney", "Northern Exposure", and "Medicine Ball." He also snagged starring roles in "Common Ground" and "Smokeless Tobacco."Some Personal Stuff About James--
