Entry: Buffy the Vampire Slayer biography - Spike (Played by James Marsters) - A14443571

to run alongside the introduction to vampires at A13418507

I don't think you can do a biography of a fictional character as a guide entry. Apart from anything else, its fiction, and mutable. Next season they might decide to insert more stuff into his life.

There is no next season. Buffy ended some 2 years ago. As for the other I'd have to check.

There's no problem with your entry, The_Xand
There's a biography on Superman A10607249 and Wonder Woman A12512017 in the EG - I could look for more but I'm in a bit of a rush


Your title needs tweaking: Buffy the Vampire Slayer biography - Spike (Played by James Marsters) suggest:
Spike - a 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Character



However, he's character turned out to be so popular that Joss decided to write him back in and the rest is history.

Spike

I second that link!

I know this is more about the Character than anything else but prehaps you could add a section as to how James Marsters came up with Billy Idol/Sid Vicious/Johnny Rotten look of Spike

all done. I'll have to look into how they came up with the look though.

Is this purely a Buffy era biography, or do you want to include is return in Angel? I know you're not well up on Angel, but I'd happily expand on some of the details there, if you like (it would give me a good excuse to watch him action again! )

If you want to add your own piece at the end, I would be more than happy for the help.

Cool, give me until the weekend to knock it up (if you can wait that long ). I'm writing another entry at the minute, but that can go on the back burner.

That'll be great... Thanks

There doesn't seem to be any specific reason as to how Joss came up with Spike's look. Other than the obvious comparison with Billy Idol... It can be noted that it was mentioned by Buffy in a season 7 episode that Billy Idol actually got his look from Spike.

I couldn't find anything either, so I think if you can find/remember the exact quote that might work

btw, if you can remember the episode, I can go look for it now!

I'm pretty sure it was Sleeper... It's when Buffy is talking to the bouncer outside the night club

Am still working at the mo, will give it a look in an hour or so and get back to you

It would be lovely to see some links in your entry.

I'll try and see what I can come up with

I saw an interview with him, I do remember him saying that he copied the accent from Johnny Rotten,

Thank you for adding my link The_Xand
