Again, I wish he was. JM illuminates anything he's in, IMO.

Sometimes it's still a good idea though.

I gotta wonder if the apparent "hate" is more a case of disparate methodologies (i.e Joss and James are good if work's not involved, but it's Hoffman-Olivier on the set of Marathon Man when it is)...

LOL James' gal is a slasher! Pat sure has good taste ;)

Wasn't that a general thing of those times, like no woman could act (the same happening even in Japan - Kabuki)?
When did James made a female character?
He wore a dress and lipstick, in Amber Benson's Chance, but it's all I can remember.
Intereting, I allways wondered the opposite thing. Spike (William) was allways a romantic, even after becames a vampire. Only his strong heart breakings (Cecille, his vamp-mother, Dru "being" with Angel) had drove him to build a strong carcass (as Spike) in a way to protects himself/looks like a bad boy.

I consider James to be one of the 'verse's finest actors, he does elevate the material. And of course we know Joss is this amazing genius.
I want them to like each other. :/

He does a lot of female characters when reading The Dresden Files books.

My feeling is that Joss doesn't like James, based solely on the fact that Joss doesn't use him. He's the only main actor in the verse that has stated unequivocably that he would do whatever Joss asked, without the need for script approval like SMG, or DB have, and still no call. Even Dushku turned Joss down on the first project he wanted. So I'm thinking there is something to it. Whatever it is. Who knows?

I think it's clear that Joss is personal friends with many of the people that have worked for him ... and is not personal friends with others that have worked for him. That doesn't mean he hates the 'non friends', it's natural. Being friends is different than being co-workers. But as far as James is concerned ... he thinks Joss hates him. There must be more to it than he just hasn't gotten a call.

Particularly in a casual setting in front of people, you might say 'hates' semi-facetiously when you actually don't mean much more than "We're not friends" (or you might say it entirely facetiously when you mean "Hey Joss, giz a job !" ;).
Need to see/hear it said. Text is tricky that way, it's like the David Copperfield of communication (but with less puffy sleeves).

Maybe Joss isn't crazy about him but hate is a strong word and somehow I doubt Joss hates James.
