James Marsters Will Get A Replacement For His Stolen Spacey Award

Wednesday 25 August 2004, by Webmaster

According to the August 22nd edition of HypaSpace Weekly on the Space Channel, he is being sent a replacement award.

The award, which he won in 2004 for Fave Male TV Character: Spike, was taken from his personal trailer.

A message from his manager concerning the Stolen 2004 Spacey Award for sale on eBay :

Many fans have written to let us know that an award given to James is being auctioned on E-Bay. James and his business associates are very upset to learn that a valued and much appreciated award was taken from his personal trailer without his knowledge and is now being offered on E-Bay. Please do not help support people who are profiting from unscrupulous acts. Thank you. - Steve Himber

  • Why do people post silly comments like that? It doesn’t matter what the hell it represents. What matters is that it was voted on by his fans & he earned it. Something like that, no matter what it looks like, is not something that you’re "glad to be rid of". I’m glad that it’s being replaced.
  • Oh c’mon!!! Thats just funny!!! Poor guy gets his little alien statue thingy stolen, then they try to sell it on eBay. But surely, even in mentioning it, his manager or whoever it was saying ’Dont buy it’ or whatever, is only fueling people TO buy it. lol. And lets face it, as far as statues go, its a bit lame no? But in all fairness I can see why James wanted to keep it, everyday he went on set for Angel Season 5 he would bring in all his awards and go to Boreanaz "Oi look mate, I’ve got WAY more awards than you!" and Boreanaz was like "Whatever Spike...I mean James! God damn it!" then Marsters would laugh at him then go "I’m off to show these to Fred and Wes, they care." and off he would trot, to show the other cast members his awards. Sad thing is though that James Marsters thinks that Buffy and Angel are the real world and this is the false one. Ah who am i kidding, we all think that! Or at least I do...
  • I think thats great hes getting a replace-ment ....Id like too know tho, what happens to the stolen Spacey Award.???

  • God, how hateful can people be? Do you get a kick out of writing such stupid comments? Grow up. @Darren: I’m so not sure about your comment, though... are you positive about James or not??? If James cares for this award it just shows that he cares for his fans, because we (yes me too!) voted for him to get it! And if some of you haven’t noticed the obvious - his "Spike"-character on "Angel" wasn’t exactly made THE main character and, beside Hellbound and Damage, was rarely at the best of his possibilities - still, as far as I’ve seen it on the web, that’s what he wanted and I still loved it.
  • Wow! That’s wacky! Glad he’s getting a replacement, because if he didn’t that’d be the ultimate suckage.
  • I think that it was really crappy that someone would still someone’s award. If James still had it at the time it was stolen then it probably meant a great deal to him. James has a great repore with his fans, anyone who has ever been to a convention can attest to that. His fans mean a lot to him and I’m sure that an award that he got from the fans meant just as much.

    I’m really glad they are replacing it for him, but I’m sure the replacement won’t have the same meaning for him.

    Whoever took it I hope you get whats coming to you. You are a pretty pathetic person.
