James Coard

Exeter, United Kingdom

Actor, Musician

Hi! I'm James, i'm a kind, thoughtful, hardworking writer, actor (beginner), musician and ex-university student (Who is armed with a seriously weird sense of humour). Over the past couple of years i've mainly been involved in the writing aspects of my projects, these include; The Many Faces Of James Coard, The Many Voices Of Mr Coard, Fools Gold, The Cotter & Coard Show, Set The Coardinates, The Tales Of Bloody Springs, The Isabella Incident, Casanova's Escape, Man On The Run and Tracker Island. Acting wise I have been in a few projects such as Shields Of Fortune, They're Coming (i've just finished filming it and it's now the BBC Radio Devon website) and the theatre production of Agatha Christie: Witness for the Prosecution. To tell you the truth my acting career, up until this point, has been hampered by work and university - which has annoyed me on a daily basis. Thankfully though they are both finished now, so that means I can concentrate on being a thespian.

Hi!! I'm James Coard. I completed a TV Arts degree at Plymouth University (in the U.K) and I'm now ready to fully concentrate on my acting career. I've been doing some acting on/off for the past 2 and a half years and in that time I've joined the EDC (Exeter Drama Company) and made my theatrical début as John the Journalist in Bill Kenwright’s production of Agatha Christie's Witness For The Prosecution alongside Denis Lill (Only Fools and Horses) and Robert Duncan (Old Harry's Game) at The Princess Theatre, Torquay + I've just finished filming 'Shields Of Justice' and 'They're Coming' (two low budget feature films) and an epic western called 'All in the Valley' - The latter project will be shown at Sundance, Tribeca, The San Francisco and The New Zealand International Film Festival.

I'm currently rehearsing for The Producers with Tops Production.

(I've also been accepted into The New York Film Academy (Scholarship from September 2014 to September 2017) & Michelle Danner's Acting Studio in Santa Monica, California (M-1 Visa Sponsored).
