Marti Noxon (Produnzentin und Autorin bei "Buffy")
James is a remarkable actor and a remarkable presence, and he made that known as
soon as he started playing Spike that there was something really unique and
charismatic about him. Then when we brought him back, I don't know that we ever
thought he would advance to being Buffy's... whatever he is. But there was a
knowledge that we had an actor and a character that had a tremendous amount of
appeal, and we didn't want to throw that away. So a lot of it is attributed to
James' magnetism. Lightning had struck.
Their personalities definitely come through. Although I will say James is very
different than the character. He is a very gentle soul, a warm funny guy. James
just inhabits Spike so well that I have a creative relationship with that
character as do all the writers on the show. I do think he brings a lot of his
own personality to the character.
