James Mathers embarked on a remarkable journey in the world of arts, commencing his career in San Francisco as a multifaceted individual, donning the hats of playwright and actor at prestigious institutions such as The Magic Theater, Eureka Theater, SF Rep, and the Bay Area Playwright's Festival. He had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed writers and performers, including John O'Keefe, Sam Shepard, and George Walker.
As the 1970s dawned, Mathers transitioned to a new creative outlet, taking on roles as writer, director, editor, and producer of 16mm industrial and educational films, as well as A/V productions.
Following a decade of artistic expression in San Francisco, Mathers relocated to New York, where he spent the next ten years as a member of the Manhattan Class Company at the Nat Horne Theater on 42nd Street.
Decades later, Mathers made the move to Hollywood, where he continued to make his mark in the world of film, theater, and television.
