Bradley James

Born in the English county of Essex, actor Bradley James's surroundings changed sharply when his family relocated to Jacksonville, FL when James was only nine years old. James returned to the U.K. for high school, where he was also very active in athletics, particularly football. James's first onscreen appearance came in 2008 when he appeared in an episode of BBC program "Lewis" (ITV, 2006-2015). That same year James's big break came when he was cast as Prince Arthur in the BBC One television series "Merlin" (2008-2012). Following the conclusion of the series, James and his costar Colin Morgan went on an exploration of locations in Arthurian legend for a program on BBC Wales. The series was called "Merlin & Arthur" and it aired in 2009. In 2014 James made the jump to American television, playing the role of Lt. JG Edgars in the popular series "Homeland" (Showtime 2011-). He followed this effort up with a recurring role on the quirky series "iZombie"(CW 2014-), created by Rob Thomas. In 2016 it was announced that James would star in the new A&E series "Damien," based on the horror film "The Omen" (1976) and following the life of Damien Thorn, now a grown man working as a war photographer, determined to forget his evil past.
