James Harris (he/they) is the son of a seamstress and a plumber from a small town in North Carolina. He grew up under sewing tables and in hay fields, but his favorite place to be was on the joust field at the Carolina Renaissance Festival. On that field he could be Squire or Prince, Pageboy or foolish Jester. From the age of four onward James got to experience the gift of living many lives. There has never been a time in James’s life that he didn’t want to be an actor (except when he was ten and fully convinced he’d be museum curator in London). His love of acting is what led
him to North Carolina School of the Arts at 17 and to Rutgers at 18. He’s made many sacrifices for his art, as all artists do, but he considers it the greatest gift to be an artist. He’s excited to see what lives he’ll live after Rutgers, maybe he’ll get the chance to be a knight in the next one.
