[quote] As I said in response to someone else earlier, I think a lot depends on the lighting for him. I know my mother's hazel eyes have a habit of "changing" color depending on lighting, mood, or what she's wearing for a shirt. [/quote]'
Eh, I don't think they've focused on his eyes enough for me to tell. They look brown to me. Then again, Willow's hair was brown for quite some time, and now it seems to be canonically to have 'always been red...' so who knows. :)
I'd just be leary of online bios. Some of them seem pretty dubious. Some have him at six foot, others at five, eleven. IMDB lists James Marsters as being five, eleven as well, which is just gut-bustingly funny (or kinda sad and lonely, depending on how you think about it).

In a college creative writing course, our prof made us read our poem / short story / whatever, and then sit silently while the rest of the class discussed it. It was a deeply frustrating experience to sit quietly and listen to people get your intent so horribly wrong, and not be able to explain it, since, as the professor maintained, if you'd done your writing right, you wouldn't *have* to explain it, and in the real-world, you won't be there to hold your readers hands and make sure they jump to the same conclusions you did.
God I hated that man. But it was a good lesson. One that Joss clearly could have benefited from, since he had to 'explain' several things out-of-show (like the Slayer line running through Faith, or Spike going to get his soul) that he'd failed to do as part of the on-screen narrative.
