Giggle Quotes

(on his role as Spike in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) and "Angel" (1999)) "This job is so far beyond any expectations I had.

Now I am in love with the character. I developed the Riddler`s fiendish laugh at Hollywood parties.

With further study I came to realize that it wasn`t so much how I laughed as what I laughed at that created the sense of menace."
