James is a talented actor based in the vibrant city of Montreal, Quebec. His journey in the entertainment industry began in the 1980s and 1990s, when he honed his skills as a singer and bassist for various Montreal-based pop bands. During this time, he had the opportunity to perform in several music videos that aired on popular music television channels such as Much Music and Musique Plus.
As his passion for acting grew, James made the transition to the big screen in 2009. He landed his first major role in the pilot episode of the critically acclaimed comedy-drama series Mohawk Girls, playing the character of a lecherous cafe clerk. He went on to reprise this role in seasons 1, 3, and 4.
James's impressive resume also includes a notable appearance in the 2016 blockbuster film X-Men: Apocalypse, where he played the role of Mystery Man, the leader of an investigative team from a potentially evil corporation.

He played the role of crime boss Dominic Duran in the short film The Punisher: No Mercy, which has garnered over 500,000 views on two YouTube channels. This impressive feat is all the more remarkable considering the film's relatively short runtime of 18 minutes.
