Biography

After his early teens flirting heavily
with the music industry, James
finally reverted to his early acting
ambitions and trained at the
London Drama School, with a
heavy focus always on acting for
the screen. He soon established
himself with roles in Television
favourites such as Eastenders,
Family Affairs and The Bill

He now has an impressive CV
of feature films to his name
which began with the lead in
the critically acclaimed indie
Playground Logic. Soon after,
James crossed the Atlantic
to shoot Arizona Dirt and he
also took up smaller roles in
Green Street alongside Elijah
Wood
 and Derailed with
Clive Owen & Jennifer Anniston.


A tough assignment including boot
camp followed with a lead role in
World War II drama See It Through,
this was followed by a more familiar role in romantic comedy Three Minute Moments. In 2006 he appeared in the critically acclaimed The Zombie Diaries, and starred alongside Colin Salmon in the all-action thriller 'K', he also played the lead in award winning director Caleb Lindsay's Seven Seconds to Heaven, and took up the role of eccentric assassin Beckett in NightDragon.

More recently, he has appeared in Hellbride and the award winning The Devil's Music, both are due for release in the UK & US next year. 2009 started with a cold snow-filled shoot on the exciting vampire-western tinged Umbrage, with Doug Bradley (Hellraiser).  In the last few weeks James has completed filming psychological thriller Hard Shoulder, with Jamie Foreman (Layer Cake, Sleepy Hollow) and Wil Johnson (Waking The Dead), a film already being talked about as a 2011 Cannes film festival entry.

In 2010, as well as the leading role in prequel The Zombie Diaries 3, he will be starring in a 'soon to be announced' multi-million pound horror, and taking an American road trip in the haunting tale Pale Shelter. He has also co-created exciting new time-travel epic Timeless which is due to go into production in September 2011.

When he's not filming, James splits his time between his home in Epping, and his 'office' (Starbucks on Wardour Street) talking tirelessly to those that will listen about films.
