Spiking the Punch: James Marsters Interview
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer's Spike
Any episode of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer has better action than most of the
studio movies released, not to mention emotional subtext. So, the
opportunity to interview one of the show's stars was more exciting to me
than most of my daily interviews.
James Marsters plays Spike on the show. Spike began as a villain but now
that he's had a chip embedded into his brain, he's physically prevented from
harming a human. After a tumultuous romance with Buffy, Spike ended the
season by attempting to rape her. In the season finale, Spike endured a test
which was made to appear that he was seeking to have the chip removed. But
in the cliffhanger, some magical forces restored his soul.
But guess what? It turns out, we were only supposed to think that the soul
was a mistake. Buffy creator Joss Whedon revealed in a panel discussion at
the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences that we were only supposed to
think he wanted his chip removed. Even Marsters was surprised to hear that
Spike wanted a soul all along. As he discussed his anticipations for next
season's Buffy, it appeared he only found out about Whedon's switcheroo that
night.
So, now it turns out Spike was actually asking for a soul from the beginning
of that whole subplot? They're switching it up again. I thought I knew what
was going on until Joss said what he said. It's a case of what is the most
interesting thing and he's kept his options open at the end of the scene. I
was instructed to play it as if I wanted to get the chip out and was
surprised and mad about the soul. But, as a storyteller, he leaves himself
the option of going exactly the opposite direction without having to
compromise integrity at all. The way that he constructed it, and I think he
did it because of that, he left his options open.
Will Spike be a vampire with a soul or a human? Oh, a vampire with a soul.
His flesh is still dead. His blood is still cold. But he has to deal with
the ramifications of 1000 murders.
Well, I won't ask you something as lame as how will it be different from
Angel? Yeah. It will be. That's the one thing you can guarantee and I don't
know how it's going to be different from Angel, but it will be.
How will Spike deal with his attempted rape of Buffy in the next season?
Dealing with that is what sent him out to the desert. Obviously, he didn't
deal very well with it. Obviously he blamed her for it and was so angry that
he wanted to go do something even more horrible. As often happens, and
that's the point that's often made on the show, that evil comes about often
when people feel very guilty about something that they've done but can't
face it. It drives them to further acts of evil. You saw it with Faith and I
don't know where it's going to lead with Spike. Seriously, I don't know
what's going to happen.
Will Spike become more of a villain or try to redeem himself? This is the
thing. As an actor, I have had the problem of playing - as many actor do -
the end of the scene and the beginning of the scene. So, if you're going to
get really mad at someone, you start to play anger too early as opposed to
discovering it during the scene. And I discovered that working in TV, you
can wholesale eradicate that problem from your performance by not asking
what's going to happen next week. I am as ignorant as my character and I
therefore can fight for my character wholly and then be completely up a tree
as Spike can be and not even concern myself with what's going to happen.
It's very scary because sometimes on this show you're asked to do things
that - there have been things on this show that I've been asked to do that
if a movie came along that asked me to do those things, I might have passed.
Like playing a rapist? Frankly, yeah. Frankly, I don't like that. I can't
even watch a movie where that's in there. I get up and want to kill the guy.
It's my personal issue. So, that was one of the hardest things I've ever
done in my life, not even as a job, because Sarah and I are friends. I told
Joss, "Nobody's safe around here. You cut right to the bone, dude. This is
not a safe show."
In general, has the fight choreography on Buffy become more sophisticated in
recent seasons? If anything, the fight choreography is better choreographed
to my needs so that you see more of me. More and more, the choreography is
stuff that I can do well enough that we don't have to cut to a stunt double,
which doesn't really make Steve [Tartalia] very happy. He gets very bored.
I've always wanted the fighting to be more street fighting, more dirty
moves, street moves which are stuff that I'm more used to as opposed to some
of the more sophisticated martial arts stuff. So, I'm always really happy
when John [Medlen] choreographs a really dirty elbow move or a punch to the
throat. I love that.
And how is working with Michelle Trachtenberg in the Dawn scenes different
from working with Sarah Michelle Gellar? They're different people. Sarah is
a machine. Sarah doesn't know this, but she's actually a method actor. She
is the biggest combination of method acting but also with the proficiency of
the other side that I've ever seen. She's able to switch gears very quickly
which I'm not. I tend to live in the reality while we shoot. She can flip in
and out. Michelle is a very talented actor who's still keeping her eyes
open. But they're very similar [in that] you don't realize how much they're
doing until they see it on film. They're very subtle.

Vale,
quando ero giovane (sigh!) avevo un fidanzato che una mia amica si ostinava
a definire "tamarro". In verità, era supersexy, un po' fuori di testa (come
Spike), ed io lo adoravo...sigh...
P.S. Ho naturalmente sposato tutt'altro genere di uomo, ma a volte ancora ci
penso, al tamarro, sigh...
Baci, Roberta

...questa č incredibile...

...Cioč, persino noi sapevamo con un buon 2/3 puntate di anticipo cosa
sarebbe successo, (la faccenda della parola "coreana" per definire la nuova
situazione di Spike ecc. ecc.), per tacere di Willow cattiva e Tara morta, e
loro continuano a volerci dire che settimana per settimana non sanno nulla?
Mi sembra strano. A parte che questo dire "abbiamo fatto apposta per
confondervi con la faccenda del chip"... Bah. O era zuppa o era pan bagnato,
arrivati a quel punto non ci voleva molto a capire, cosa volevano
confonderci??
Mah!!
Ciao
A.

 sanno nulla? Mi sembra strano.
Mi sembra ovvio. Tu parli di "2/3 puntate in anticipo" parlando della
trasmissione delle puntate. Lui invece parla di quando le girano, o meglio
ancora di quando come attore riceve lo script.

 ancora di quando come attore riceve lo script.
Sě Laz, ma noi siamo "il popolino", e persino noi, sappiamo le cose in
anticipo, vuoi che un attore non sappia?? Ah e comunque ho letto
un'intervista di JW (su una rivista, e non ti so citare quale purtroppo)
dove a proposito della morte di Joyce, Joss stesso affermava di averne
informato l'attrice ben due anni prima. Mi spiace per il nome della rivista
che non ricordo. Ho scroccato la lettura in piedi alle Messaggerie Musicali
qualche mese fa.
Ciao
A.

 dove a proposito della morte
Sicuro e' vero questo, ma cosa c'entra? Ho letto ad una intervista
all'attrice che fa Lilah che a lei non arriano nemmeno gli script degli
episodi a cui non partecipa e che nessuno le dice niente a riguardo... Una
cosa e' sapere un avvenimento grosso e importante come una morte, anche
perche' in genere vuole anche dire la fine della partecipazione dell'attore
allo show (a meno di sogni e cugine di Laure Palmer), un'altra sono le vie
che prendera' la trama.

 affermava di averne informato l'attrice ben due anni prima.
Questa la sapevo anche io in effetti! :-)
