" Over the course of six years, as Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we watched as you took a monster and made him into a man.

You delighted us, thrilled us, made us laugh, and broke our hearts, but above all, you made us believe.

The many fans of James Marsters the world over would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his invaluable contributions to the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and his unflagging generosity towards his fans."
