I’m James Evans, a British actor currently based in New York City. My journey in the performing arts began when I moved to the U.S. in 2015 to train at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the world’s oldest English-speaking acting conservatory.

My passion lies in dialects, character acting, and classical works. I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in English Literature from the University of Cambridge and so critical close reading tends to find its way into my work.

I’ve performed in numerous theatrical productions across the USA and UK. Notable credits include stints at New York City Center, The McKittrick Hotel, Florida Studio Theatre, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, A.C.T. Theatre in San Francisco, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Here, you’ll find insights into my work, upcoming projects, and a glimpse into my creative journey. Thank you for visiting!
