James, a former Collegiate athlete from Erie, PA graduated at the University of Akron with a Bachelors in Exercise Science. In college he split time going to school and traveling to New York City in the summers to pursue his acting/modeling career. Once graduated he moved to NYC for what he thought was for good. His first big role he booked there was in "The Preppie Connection." James developed an assiduous work ethic at a very young age. He knew he was ready to take another leap of faith and move to Los Angeles to really pursue TV & film. This decision was made in a matter of days. He put in his two weeks at his job, packed two suitcases and booked a one-way flight to LA. Landing in LAX with no place to stay and not knowing a single person he hit the ground running. Within the first year of living in LA he booked his first big television role on LifeTime as the Lead in a 'Bonnie and Clyde' type TV Series called "Crazy Love," which is now on Hulu. He booked the Lead in a TV Series pilot (2019) called "Nobody's From LA." In all the craziness of 2020 James booked roles in SWAT on CBS, and also The Rookie on ABC. A film he shot last year is also set to debut sometime this year (2021), The Root of Perfection. This year he has been producing a feature film that he will also star in. James' tenacious work ethic is all fueled by the insurmountable support from his family, friends, and fans. "What drives me is looking forward to the day I am able to give back to everyone who has put their faith and support in me pursuing my dreams." - James
