Those of you who think he's sexy in The Secretary (and, he definitely is), you should check out White Castle. Susan Sarandon plays the older woman that he falls for. It's a damn sensual movie. Mmm....

Heh. The movie is called White Palace. Though I bet White Castle is responsible for some of the pudge.

Heheheh. "White Castle"... Ooops. Guess it's been a while.

It's always on cable but I haven't managed to sit through it.

It's not the best film but it's sexxxxxxxxxy. Or, to be more specific, HE is! But even apart from the love scenes, I think he manages to give a very strong performance conveying his loneliness and pain.

I think he was in some stupid teen movie about a guy who builds a robot and Spader is the "cool guy" who mocks it. In the prom scene he pooh-poohs the robot, saying, "Robot, my behind". And the robot goes for his behind!!! I still say Robot My Behind to express disdain for anything.

He gets better with age. As Steff in PiP he was cute, but on Boston Legal, he's rocket-hot.

JS is so hot, he's turned PiscesMom into a fangirl!

I like him as an actor, but he looks exactly like my dad, except my dad's thinner. Therefore, I cannot watch most of his movies, because seeing my father's identical twin be a sexy pervert is just gross.

Probably the biggest name celebrity I have ever interacted with.
His sister and my sister were next door neighbors in suburban New Jersey. I met him overs backyard barbeques and beers. He did not exude any sexually perverse vibes but then he was at his sister's place.

But then I guess that is why they call it acting.

Hey, TheJakes, that's pretty awesome! Of course I don't consider James Spader to be a pervert in real life. He's just so good at playing deviants! If you don't mind, would you tell us a little more about meeting him? What he was like, and such? I always love to hear stories like that. ;o)

Did everyone forget Sex Lies and Videotape? That's my favorite Spader movie. Very hot there.

And Storyville -- my first date with Mr. Sunnyhorse.

The cliche applies that he seems smaller in real life.

Listened in on a converstation with his brother-in-law (I think that is who it was) who was a producer for A&E about the Biography series.

David Cronenberg is not a freak in real life - just on film. Which I guess might also be said about James Spader.

His sister is active in the Episcople Church but I don't know about him. Given his body of work it would not surprise me if he is just expressing his repressed "Episcoplianist" upbringing.

I kind of liked him until I read he dumped his first wife for a younger model.

That's Hollywood for ya!
