Buffy The Vampire Slayer star James Marsters says sci-fi and fantasy television and movies roles have been his calling – and for good reason.

The self-confessed Star Trek fan says the genre provides more scope and variety for actors, while also tackling social issues in a more direct way than more conventional movies and television series.

His long list of sci-fi and fantasy television credits includes Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Supernatural and Caprica.

He has also lent his voice to several animated television series such as Spiderman, Superman and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

He also has the lead role as a wizard in the yet-to-be-released feature movie Dragon Warrior.

​James Marsters had only recently returned from Hawaii, where he had been filming Hawaii Five-0, when we met him at Swinghouse Studios in West Hollywood. The occasion was a listening party for the forthcoming album from the former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star’s current band, Ghost of the Robot. The catch was that this was also the first time Marsters would be hearing the final mix of the album.

“I felt like giggling and throwing up at the same time,” he said of the anticipation leading to the event.

One of the things that really grabs you about a character is when you never really know if they’re good or bad. It worked for Raistlin in the Dragonlance novels, right? And it certainly worked for Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
