about 6 minutes into this interview James says that he's been 'offered' acting roles but has no passion for it. Firstly I could have sworn that he said when he was younger that he wanted to be an actor and secondly, does anyone know anything about these film roles?? Ta x
According to this interview, James did drama in college http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4...-centre-really

I thought Bradders had been offered a job in Holby City. Disappointment.

Sorry to call out the elephant in the room here, bit James can, like, y'know, sort of, barely deliver a line as himself.

Great man, amazing singer and guitarist. But not a public speaker.

I think you are being a tad harsh there Stu! When he did that interview with that Irish radio presenter (when he did acousitic SKON etc) I think he came across really well and also that recent 5 part interview (the country it was done in has gone from my brain I'm afraid, the interviewer had quite a stilted accent). Yeah, there are the occasional mannerism's but hey ho!

He was ok in that Passion thing he did and I thought he was good in his NWTTAL video. I like that one. And a lot of actors are bad at being themselves in public, they like hiding behind a character.

Yes! And remember that he is also apparently good at putting on accents!
