James is an actor based in Montreal. He got his start in the world of entertainment in the 80s and 90s while singing and playing bass for various Montreal pop bands. This included performing in several of his own music videos broadcast on Much Music and Musique Plus. He started acting on a professional level in 2009, when he was cast in the pilot episode of the comedy/drama Mohawk Girls (APTN, OMNI) as a lecherous cafe clerk. He has since appeared in Seasons 1, 3, and 4. He can be seen in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) (20th Century Fox/Marvel) playing Mystery Man, the leader of an investigative team from a potentially evil corporation. He also appears as U.S. Navy Captain Laurence Safford in HBO's Pearl Harbor: The Accused, a documentary about Admiral Husband Kimmel's fight to clear his name after the historic attack. He played crime boss Dominic Duran in the independent short film The Punisher: No Mercy, which has gained a combined total of over 500,000 views on two YouTube channels. Not bad for an 18-minute film! In addition, he has done background roles for Investigative Discovery's crime reenactment shows Imposters and Fatal Vows. His voice acting includes the role of The Guardian in the video game Leap of Fate , produced by Clever-Plays in Montreal (released in March, 2016) as well as voices for Outlast 2 (produced by Red Barrels, released April, 2017). In 2004 he produced, co-directed, and performed in the sketch comedy pilot Viewer Discretion alongside members of Montreal's On the Spot comedy improv team. Hide
