James’ passion for film began at the age of five, after his first viewing of Star Wars. Inspired, he went on to directing and starring in dozens of home movies with the help of his siblings and iMovie. After years of dancing and singing, acting was only a natural addition to his many passions. He jumped at the opportunity to play Seymour in his high school’s production of Little Shop of Horrors. After its successful run, he immediately went on to play Nigel, Prince of Hearts in Metro Theatre’s Alice in Wonderland, from which he received a CTC Award Nomination for Best Actor in a Musical. Following this, he has made the transition into Film & TV with a performer role in an episode of Riverdale, a supporting lead in a popular web series and a supporting role in an upcoming independent film. He has studied with Michael Bean of Biz Studios, and currently studies with James Kot of Kot Creative Studios to further hone his craft.
A fresh and eager face in the industry, James is super excited to be signed with da Costa Talent so that he may keep chasing his dream to perform on stage and screen.
