Jesse James

At age ten, Jesse James has already amassed an impressive list of feature and television credits and is becoming one of the industry's most promising young actors.

Most recently, James was seen on screen in two major motion pictures: Message in a Bottle with Kevin Costner and Robin Wright Penn and Gods and Monsters with Sir Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser.

He appeared opposite Oscar® winners Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt in James L. Brooks' comedy-drama As Good As It Gets and opposite Kenneth Branagh in Robert Altman's thriller The Gingerbread Man.

Spotted at a photo shoot for his actor-father Shane James, Jesse soon landed his first acting jobs on PBS's Sesame Street and CBS's Walker, Texas Ranger. More recently, he guest-starred in the 100th episode of E.R. and in Nickelodeon's Wild Thornberries.

James' other feature film credits include the short film Puppies for Sale, opposite Jack Lemmon, and A Dog of Flanders, in which he starred with Richard Harris and Jon Voight.
