I wanted to be Spike so bad. Outside of Jeff, those were my favorite scenes, working with Jim [Marsters], because he, like me, takes it so seriously, maybe even too seriously. That’s the kind of science fiction I like, and that’s what Joss does so well. It doesn’t matter how fantastical the scenario. It’s always grounded in, like, “You’re just a hurt nerd who can’t get a girl,” or, “You’re just an upset teenager who’s had too much.” [James] was so like that, and we both rarely got the chance to work together, but when we did, it felt really important. I remember one scene where he’s laying on a table and I’m trying to do something to him. And I’m standing and he’s laying on the table, and each time they yell “Action!” he would just go [Makes gasping noise.]. And then when it was over, he’d go, “Ah.” “What are you doing? Do you have indigestion?” And he’s like, “Vampires don’t breathe, mate.”
