Personal Quotes
"I patterned the accent after this guy I was in a play with, but that was three years ago. Now I'm listening to Tony Head (Giles in Buffy), who sounds kind of like Spike in real life. It's much more tough-guy talk in real life. His accent (as Giles) is just as fake as mine. His is nice and gritty, but it's not North London. I'm always afraid that I'm morphing over into Tony Head, wherever he's from." - on his british accent in Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Trivia
Gained the scar on his left eyebrow when he was mugged whilst living in Queens

Is left-handed.

(July 2000) Won the Sexiest Male Vampire Award at the Nocturnal 2K Convention in London, England.

Graduated from Davis High School in Modesto, California

Studied at Juilliard, the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, and the American Conservatory Theatre

While doing regional theatre in Chicago, he co-founded the New Mercury Theatre company (named after Orson Welles' "Mercury Theatre"). In 1990, New Mercury's founders packed the operation up and relocated to Seattle in the hopes of finding more opportunity; they played there for a number of years, using any available space, including the basements of restaurants and churches, but eventually found themselves a more permanent space near Pioneer Square. Is instantly recognisable chiefly for his platinum blonde bleached hair. He has to bleach his hair regularly to play 'Spike' on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He recommends adding four to seven packets of Sweet 'n' Low to the bleaching solution, to take the sting out

Has a HUGE cult following in the Sci-Fi/fantasy community. There are (literally) hundreds of websites dedicated to him and his immensely popular vampire character 'Spike' on the internet.
