In 1925 James traveled to Los Angeles as a coal-hand on a vessel. In 1926 he signed a five-year contract with Inspiration Pictures.[1]
After some stage experience with George Arliss, he entered silent films in 1922. While he once played a lead role, he was often billed third in the cast.[2]
He was married to the actress and writer Marian Constance Blackton,[3] daughter of the founder of Vitagraph Studios, but this rapidly ended in divorce.[citation needed]
