Hannah James, a talented British-American actress, was born and raised on a farm in Radiant, Virginia, where she spent her formative years under the care of her British mother and American father. Alongside her sister, James was homeschooled, allowing her to dedicate a significant amount of time to her passion for ballet, which she studied for an impressive sixteen years.
Upon completing her high school education, James pursued her dreams of becoming an actress by auditioning for various acting programs. Her perseverance paid off, as she was accepted into several prestigious programs, which ultimately led her to relocate to England to hone her craft at the renowned Guildford School of Acting in Surrey.
Following her graduation, James's talent and dedication quickly caught the attention of UK agents, who promptly signed her. Soon after, she made the decision to return to the United States, where she signed with US agents and embarked on her first pilot season. Just three months into her new life in Los Angeles, James landed the role of her career in the television series "Mercy Street," marking the beginning of her successful journey in the world of television and film.
Since then, James has appeared in numerous television series, including the popular Starz series "Outlander" and the CW's "Supergirl." Today, she splits her time between London and Los Angeles, continually building her impressive body of work as a dual national actress, effortlessly navigating the demands of her dual citizenship and showcasing her versatility as a talented performer.
