Notes

A gentleman from the bush, James was raised on a farm in North Queensland. There he learned everything from riding horses and motorbikes to whip cracking, shooting rifles and fixing machinery. He is a graduate of WAAPA’s Bachelor of fine arts acting and TheatreiNQ’s “The Bridge Project.” His father owned a fireworks company and his first show was in the ensemble for the Townsville-based TheatreiNQ's production of Richard III. An avid swashbuckler, he completed his specialisation stage combat qualifications with Andy Fraser and SADFi (Society of Australian Fight Directors Inc.). A hearty chuckler, he also partakes in the off stand-up comedy gig, or performing in improv shows for the comedy duo he is a part of "Smooth Brain Gang."
