James’s acting career started out in musical theatre, his love of singing and performing made this and easy transition into the acting world. He has performed with a number of theatre companies both amateur and professional. It was during this time that James started working in TV and Film appearing in a number of short films and TV shows. He has also appeared in a number of commercials for well-known brands. His sibling often comment they see him more on tv than in real life (of course they jest)
Since his first acting role on stage James has continued to invest in his acting training, working with Mark Westbrook from Acting Coach Scotland, The RCS in Glasgow and recently with Peter Carrol from the Thinking Actors acting school. James firmly believes that this continued learning has dramatically improved his acting both in both stage and film.
When not performing James has many other pursuits although none more precious than spending his time with his two girls. Acting is very much in the family as both girls have shared the stage with James on more than one occasion. James is very much an active person and loves nothing more than getting out on the hills, out on the water paddle boarding or going to the gym.
“There is nothing I love more, than performing with the two most precious people in my life. To see the excitement in their eyes as overture starts and the curtain opens” James Gordon
