Fans were thrilled to see Spike appear on the Buffy spin off series Angel in 2004 and were devastated when the series got cancelled.
Due to Spike being such a popular character the was talk of a spin off “Spike movie” but it doesn’t look likely now as at the time James said that he would only do a spin off in the next five years or her would feel too old to be Spike.
He told The TV guide in 2003: “As long as I could do it within, say, the next four or five years; past that, I’m too old. Spike’s a vampire, man, and I’ve got high standards.”
James has been married and divorced twice, once to Liane Davidson who is the mother to his daughter.
