Born in 1962??? No way...really? I knew he was older than he looked but I can't believe he's actually 48. I guess as a 17 year old I shouldn't still find him hot but I can't help myself. And a family man, too. I'll say just go ahead and say it - awwww...
Dude, I started watching Buffy at age 14 (that was in 1999 for anyone counting). Buffy was in its third season, and my very first episode ever watched was Lovers' Walk, the season three episode where Spike came back to Sunnydale head over tails drunk off his gourd and blaming his break up on Buffy and Angel (who, by the way, I hated on sight, before I'd ever even seen him in Season 2. Boreanaz is hot, but his wishy-washy "Oh, I can't, Oh, it's wrong, Oh, I have to suffer to be happy and drag the girl I love down with me before fucking her up beyond all recognition" spiel pissed me off).
James was 37 years old when he filmed that episode, and despite being fourteen and very aware of the inherent RL ick-factor, I had absolutely NO qualms in having a crush on the man
Those eyes, and those cheekbones alone... guh. And when I found out that he was a family man (which, admittedly, wasn't until Buffy was well off the air, and I got desperate looking for more info on him)? Oh. That sealed the deal
