James Marsters, Spike’s dear actor in buffy the vampire Slayer, has spilled the beans about what found the most “scary” about portraying the iconic character. In the face of the long -awaited restart, the star shared information on the “frightening” and “painful” aspects of his role during an exclusive interview with Reach.
The Marsters burst into the scene as a platinum hair spike in Joss Whedon’s original 1997 series, starring Buffy Summers by Sarah Michelle Gellar for the second season. His portrayer quickly elevated Spike to a favorite state of fan after his debut as one of the most captivating antagonists.
Initially represented as a classic villain with his bride of dusted vampire Drusilla (performed by Juliet Landau), Spike’s journey throughout the series sees him transforming an enemy into an unexpected ally of the Scooby gang, finally recovering his soul.
Reflecting on the experience of incorporating the various iterations of Spike, Marsters spread: “The funniest was evil, because when you play a hero … he is so much work, man.”
He humorously noted the physical demands of heroic role, saying, “Like you always running, they call the action and start running. So for 12 hours a day you are almost all the time, because you are trying to save people.
“And then all the other characters complain that you do not save them fast enough and you always have to take some childish trauma, so the story has depth and weight. And it only works a lot.
“But when you are a villa? You are just in sight. You are just sitting in the shade, waiting and you really don’t have to worry about anyone, because nobody really matters to the villains.
“So you don’t have to worry and just jump out of the shadows and make the vile on the head and go home. It’s much easier.”
Reflecting on Spike’s evolution in later seasons, he confessed: “The other party was tougher, it was more painful and much more frightening for what I was asked to happen and show the audience of myself.
“So artistically it was much more satisfactory … but sometimes scary.”
The Marsters also reflected on their typical “Bad Boy” roles, saying: “It’s the type of paper that someone would like to play. This is the best role and I just have to pinch -me who has been my brand.”
He made: “I played the Jerk that will be there for you at the end,” comparing it with an iconic space smuggler. “It’s a kind of solo character of Han, do you know?
“I did not fall into the kind of Luke Skywalker, where it is good all the time, and everyone wants to be Han Solo!
“When you were a child, everyone wanted Star Wars Han Solo Blaster and, if you were Luke, it’s also good, but everyone just wants to be Solo,” he stopped laughing with a laugh.
In contrast, Marsters interpreted it on details of the restart, which provides for Gellar’s return as executive producer, reports Surrey live.
However, he offered, “I think the world needs Buffy summers. The world needs this message perhaps more than ever.”
He also had many praise for his co -star Gellar, saying: “I think it is wonderful that Sarah is ready to return and send this message again.”
The seven seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer are available to transmit now to ITVX to the United Kingdom and Hulu to the United States.
