Acting Career; Reel Life Father Helped In Fighting Drug Addiction

Thinking to start his career in acting, the 39 aged James relocated to New York to study film at the School of Visual Arts in 1997 but could not complete it. As he described that acting would be a lot easier in '90s, he faced the camera first time in a Dr. Pepper commercial, and since then he started to work as an actor.

Started his acting journey with the movie The American Astronaut back in 2001, but his major role came in with the 2002's Ken Park then he appeared in 2003's HBO's crime drama series The Wire. With this series, he had a successful movie under his belt.

With his success in his newly started career, he also was indulged in the addiction. When he aged 27, he had developed a drug addiction and also had a debt of $30,000.

In an interview with Grantland back in July 2015, he disclosed that during his dark days, his on-screen father Chris Bauer from the series The Wire helped him a lot. He stated:

"He was really gentle with me, basically. He never made me feel like shit about myself. I think he might have been the first person who shepherded me into respecting my own talents.”

Also in a phone interview with Indie Wire in July 2015, James stated that it was hard for him to get out of the addiction. He said;

“There is no external means, whether it’s my career, or money or house or a wife or anything, that is going to set me right.”

However, with his sole motivation, he changed his habit and went to rehab, got clean and eventually, his lifestyle changed after he moved to Namibia, Africa for eight months after his The Wire- director called him for another project. He was deeply into his role as Corporal Josh Ray Person in the HBO's war drama series Generation Kill, which ultimately led him to adopt the clean habit.

Appearing on the David Simon's first project, The Wire ultimately led him to his biggest career beak Generation Kill, since then he has made a name for himself into the entertainment industry.

As of now, he has palmed dozens of popular movies and television series which includes: Sinister, Sinister 2, Tangerine, Bosch, In a Valley of Violence, and The First among many others. 

For his tremendous work into the entertainment industry, James, who has a net worth of $3 million, was awarded the 'Online Film & Television Association Award' in 2009 for Generation Kill and 'an Independent Spirit Award' in 2013 for Starlet.
