In 2008, James was nominated, along with his Boston Legal cast mates for a SAG Award in the category of Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series.
(edit)
James read the audio version of Strange Highways written by Dean R. Koontz.
(edit)
James has the reputation of being offbeat and fiercely private.
(edit)
James has poor eyesight but is unable to wear contact lenses. When he has to play a role in which he is not able to wear his glasses, he is not able to see anything that is not very close to his face.
(edit)
James is an excellent chef and cooking is one of his passions.
(edit)
James Spader: The most interesting heroes have a bit of villainy to them, and the most interesting villains have a certain bit of heroism in them, ... I think [Shore] intends to do the right thing, but his view of the world is very different so, to get to the right place, he sometimes takes a path that goes through a very dark forest.
(edit)
James Spader: If I don't need the money, I don't work.
(edit)
James Spader: (on why David E. Kelley has made 'the balcony epilogue' a Boston Legal tradition) There were a few episodes in the middle of the season where I think it was his favorite thing to write. It was almost as if he was writing the show to get to that. When he was first discovering those scenes, he really fell in love with that.
(edit)
James Spader: I don't want to share anything. I think there probably are performers who want to share their private stuff with the world, and; therefore, they don't mind letting it play out in public. I don't want to heal. I don't want to share.
