James Marsters, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Joss Whedon by Kevin Parry/WireImage.com
Joss Whedon couldn’t contain himself. So jazzed that his landmark musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was being screened at the legendary Cinerama Dome theater (site of this year’s awesome Paley Fest), he sneaked into the audience to watch one of the numbers before rejoining that old gang of his for group photos before taking the stage for a retrospective Q&A (moderated by yours truly). Like me, I think he would have rather just sat in the theater to drink it in. But there was catching up to do.I’ve finally met someone whose passion for musicals outstrips mine (if only because he’s genius enough to be able to write one). The reason Joss arrived too late to set up the screening (following my own opening remarks) was because he came straight from wrapping production of his next musical project: Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, an entirely independent made-for-Internet (but no word yet on where you’ll find it) musical-comedy, conceived during...

In the first installment of our interview with James Marsters, he talked about his love life and his sizzling new turn on Torchwood. Here, he chats about his return to Smallville (Thursday at 8 pm/ET, the CW), his starring role in the live-action Dragonball movie, and why he plays bad and doesn't want to be famous.
TV Guide: You're returning to Smallville for a couple of episodes. What's fun about playing Brainiac? He's certainly smart, but not quite as sexy as Torchwood's Captain John.James Marsters: [Laughs] I really like working with the cast, and I loved it in Season 5 when the audience didn't know what I was there for. That was pretty delicious.

We'll always have Spike, but James Marsters' blond Buffy bloodsucker isn't the only sci-fi character the actor wants to sink his teeth into.

When John Barrowman's time-traveling, bisexual, alien-fighting Captain Jack Harkness returns on Jan. 26 for a second season of Torchwood, look for what BBCA calls "a life-changing event for one of the team." James Marsters of Buffy/Angel fame, who most recently did his sci-fi thing on Smallville (and is expected to return in a January episode) is due to guest-star on BBCA's highest-rated series, as is Alan Dale (Ugly Betty) and Doctor Who's Freema Agyeman.Marsters, who says he wrote five songs for his new solo CD Like a Waterfall while filming in Wales, tells us he plays a time-agent criminal "with a lower-class English accent" who's not that unlike his sexy bloodsucking Spike "before the wheelchair. He goes around in different times killing people with no remorse at all."Marsters says he had a "fabulous" time doing the Who spin-off. "They're a randy bunch over there," he says approvingly. In other good news for fans, Torchwood: The Complete First Season goes on sale Jan. 22, with a...
