Although he wasn’t involved with this season’s “Torchwood” as much as I originally thought, it was great seeing share the screen with Captain Jack. Over at Digital Spy there Marsters gives and interview where he discusses “Torchwood”, Buffy’s Spike, “Smallville”, and his music. (U.S. viewers beware that there are “Torchwood” spoilers in the article)

Is that what attracted you to the part?
“No, I wasn’t aware of the backlash at the time. I was just attracted to a really good script and a really fun character. I love playing people who are evil, don’t care, and have no guilt. A friend told me to watch Doctor Who and I thought ‘this is really fabulous actually’. We called Russell [T Davies] and asked him if I could be on Doctor Who and he said ‘no’, but that I should come over and be part of Torchwood instead.”

I liked Marsters on the show. He brought a different type of humor to the show that was missing. I wouldn’t want to see his character as a regular, but having that attitude around would brighten “Torchwood”.

Did you like Marsters on “Torchwood”?
