James rose to prominence after portraying Spike on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a role that propelled him to stardom. The character was initially meant to be killed after a few episodes, but he immediately became a fan favorite, and James was made a regular.

A year after the show ended, James was on a music tour in Amsterdam when he met his second wife, Rahman. The pair dated for over half a decade before they married. Rahman is also involved in the entertainment industry as an actress, director, writer, and producer. Her stepson, Sullivan Marsters, is a musician like his father.
