- James With started traveling early... before he was a year old he had travel through most of Europe, and perhaps it is correct to say he's never stopped. Learning to act came naturally and when his parents settled in Perth, Western Australia, it didn't take the young boy long to start dreaming of escaping again to explore other places. The untimely passing of his father when still in high school was likely the catalyst to pursuing a performance career, against his mother's wishes. Now, as an accomplished actor and producer, presently residing in Asia, James seeks out challenges and carefully chooses his acting engagements.
Completing studies at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) and the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), James has put his diverse wealth of life's experiences into his work as a producer and entertainment specialist, producing & co-producing through his flagship company TRI-US Entertainment. James has worked in the fields of investment banking and finance for international banks and investment firms, having also worked as a licensed securities dealer and financial investment advisor. James has cultivated a strong interest in structuring financial products for entertainment and the arts, focusing on stories with significant humanitarian, geographical and environmental themes.
James loves acting and working actively in front of the camera and also relishes the challenges of production and working behind the camera. Sharing life and business with others continually inspires him to work at high professional standards and through the medium of entertainment he is intent on promoting Asia's vast range of locations, cultures and peoples in the global entertainment industry.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Magnus Gunn
