First, I saw Cool Money last night. I like it a lot. I wasn't quite
sure what to expect, but I was pleased with what I saw. It was such a
departure from anything I've seen him in before. Even my husband, the
Spike hater, loved the film. I welcome anyone's thoughts on it.

Second, there's a rumor James is up for a role in the new horror film,
"Urbane". The summary from IMDb.com says, "The suicide of her
roommate plunges naive medical student Lili into a horrifying nightmare
where she is forced to confront the evil night demons, 'The Urbane'."

Director Frazer Lee mentioned James Marsters in his casting choices
when he said, ""We are also in the very early stages of talking with
James Marsters' agent with a view to him playing Geez. I love
James' work in "Buffy" and "Angel" and also his rock band
"Ghost of the Robot". James has a huge following and an incredible
onscreen persona - I think he'd really bring something extra
special to URBANE and he's got a great face for posters!" "

Lastly, and I know I'm late with this by now, but TV Guide did an
interview with James. You can read it for yourself, but mainly they
discussed his most recent film on USA, "Cool Money". He said a few
interesting things though...
"As fond as the thesp grew of his Money-grubbing alter ego, he doesn't
see Comfort and himself as kindred spirits who make their living, in
essence, by lying. Comfort, after all, conned folks, and Marsters gets
paid to play make-believe. Strange as it may sound, he sees his
performances as works of truth rather than fiction.

'I feel very differently about acting than most people do,' he
explains. 'Good acting is not so much lying or putting on a mask as it
is revealing yourself in a truthful way. The art of it is to select
those facets of your personality that fit the character and not play
upon the ones that don't.

'I think it was [Ralph Waldo] Emerson who said, 'Within all men are all
men,'' he goes on, "and that's a very potent thing for an actor to
contemplate. It gives you the power to play just about anything.'"
