I was born and raised in the rural town of Chatham, Kent, England, UK. I have been steadily acting on stage for over a decade, during this time, I’ve been fortunate enough to have studied at multiple renowned British establishments, including the National Youth Theatre®, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and the Unseen Acting School. 

For many years I have felt a strong calling to tell American stories, and as fate would have it, in 2024 I permanently relocated to Los Angeles, CA. With my sights firmly set on utilising the craft that I have honed on the stages of London to breathe life into Film & Television roles.  

I believe wholeheartedly that an actor’s work is never done; it requires consistent studying. I can be found routinely adding to my actor’s toolbox in various classes throughout the week, especially at Anthony Meindl’s Actors Workshop in West Hollywood. 

At this moment in time it seems as though acting has become more about status than passion; my aim is to reinvigorate the deep sense of nobility that is rooted in the very foundations of the acting craft.  

Within what feels like an ever-evolving, highly complex industry, I have adopted a simple but grounded philosophy: I just want to grow artistically and work with some great people along the way.  

I hope to see you at work,

James
