James Marsters provides examples of:

• Fake Brit: His most well-regarded roles are usually this, despite the fact that Marsters is American. Supposedly casting agents in Britain still mistake him for the genuine article.
  • Doesn't help that his full name is James Wesley Marsters. Or that he bears a good resemblance to Sid Vicious.
• Older Than They Look: Appearing to be in his late 20s or early-to-mid 30s, he definitely doesn't look like he's 50.
