Biography

Born and raised in New England (Swampscott, Massachusetts) Jim is used to swimming in very cold ocean water. His family later lived on Rocky Pond in Gilmanton, New Hampshire near Lake Winnipesaukee which is warmer.

A long-time NYC resident, Jim is the ultimate "big city, small town Yankee", and has no plan on changing.

Satisfying roles on Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, Netflix The Night Agent, Hallmark's Last Christmas Home, the sports feature Road to Boston (directed by master director Je-Kyu Kang), and the recent feature Ricky, directed by Rashad Frett (Best Director at Sundance-2025) are among recent roles that seem to indicate Jim should just keep going.
