anybody know where James Marsters scar came from? The one right smack in the middle of his eyebrow.

i've always wondered about it.

SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

i've always wondered the same thing. i wanted some cool spike-lore on how he got it, but it never materialized. just like i wanted to know the origins of angel's tatoo? did he have it before he was a vamp? after he got all re-souled?

~Mal- "how drunk was i last night?"
~Jayne- "i don't know. i passed out."

if you watch 'fool for love', during the fight scene with the chinese slayer, she cuts him, right above his eye, with her sword. the scar was just something that jame's had and thought they'd paint over, but then they decided, last-minute, to incorporate it into the vampire makeup.

I heard it happened while he was being mugged.

That's right, he got mugged while living in New York and he didn't want to give up his money. Somehow he got hit but still managed to keep his money. However the muggers got away with...

His dirty laundry.

Yep. The guy apparently had brass knuckles. I got to meet JM once (and had dinner with him...i was such a drooling schoolgirl) and he told the story. It involved a lot of swearing.

According to IMDB: James gained the scar on his left eyebrow when he was mugged whilst living in Queens.

When I saw him in an interview, he mentioned that brass knuckles were involved (he's lucky he didn't lose his eye). When he was cast as Spike, he recommended to the makeup person that the scar be covered over but they decided to accentuate it instead.

*makes valiant effort to contain jealousy but fails miserably*

Wow!!!!

I met him for about two seconds once. Which was just enough time for me to make a complete fool of myself by responding to him signing his name with a 'wow that's fantastic'. What was he like to have dinner with?
