James was born in Britain, and so understands two things. 1) directors look good when they point on set and 2) humour should be dry.

For his sins, he works with children, animals, and grown-ups and when not concentrating he puts them in the same film.  He can also shoot food (which is useful if you need a director to shoot both performance and the burgers/pizza/coffee/lettuce).  He has won many advertising awards and can also direct in French.
