James Marsters is the UK's favourite to play Romeo.
An online poll conducted by the Royal Shakespeare Company has voted James Marsters as the nation's favourite to play Romeo. Kiera Knightley is the favourite to play Juliet. She even beat Juliet Landau in the poll.
Although, I can't seem to find this mentioned on the RSC website, maybe it has not been announced yet officially.

About membership.
And good publicity for James by his fans there methinks. He would be a good choice for Romeo but whether the British people would agree with it is another matter entirely.

Luckily, his name's James also, so I don't have to worry about any accidently name slips (unless I suddenly say "Spike"!!)

He doesn't look his age. But he's not 15 anymore either. I think age 30 should be the limit for actors playing Romeo as he is supposed to be a naive youth. Now MacBeth or Sweeney Todd (if only he could sing musicals). I would love to see those performances.

I would love to see him play Macbeth also and I hope the RSC keeps him in mind.

I could see him as Hotspur or maybe Leontes or Marc Antony (or Cassius!) or Benedick or Hamlet or Macbeth (or Macduff) or Richard III or Pistol or Iago or a whole bunch of Shakespearian roles...but not a teenager!

Edit: Scratch that... under the right circumstances, I can see Spike doing it, too.
