Interesting Notes:
He is left-handed. For his first
major role in “The Tempest” he was strapped, nearly naked, to a large wooden
wheel for his entrance, so he is not self-conscious about appearing nude. He
currently lives in Los Angeles but finds it hard to go to the beach since he
can’t get a tan (being a vampire and all).
He gained the scar on his left eyebrow when he was mugged living in
Queens. To get his ‘Spike’ bleached
blond hair he adds 4-7 packets of Sweet n low to his bleach solution, to take
the edge off.
In July 2000 he won the sexiest male vampire award at the
Nocturnal 2K convention in London England.
In 2001 he won the best-looking person award, beating out Jon Bon Jovi. He keeps himself trim by not
eating much meat, and eating lots of fruits and vegetables; plus he doesn’t drink
much and he quit smoking.
Will be in Italy in the fall to start a new movie called
Italian Heat.
