About me
James McDougall is a Canadian actor and filmmaker. He was raised in the small town of Cobourg Ontario, the son of Gail McDougall, a prison manager, and John McDougall, an English teacher. Throughout elementary and high school, acting and filmmaking were always a passion for James. Whether it was performing in local plays, school theater, or filming his own home movies with friends.This led him to major in drama at Canterbury Arts High School and he went on to York University to study theater for one year. James then moved back to Ottawa to begin performing on stage in musicals and dramatic productions with ASNY, Orleans Young Players, and GOYA. He ventured to Victoria B.C. and acted in shows with Atomic Vaudeville, Theatre Inconnu, and Langham Court Theater.
After a few years in British Columbia James traveled back to his home province of Ontario and embraced the film and television scene in Toronto. He immersed himself in the world of on-camera acting and filmmaking. By creating his own projects, training and constantly honing his craft, and working at Armstrong Acting Studios where he filmed thousands of hours of classes as well as casting sessions with some the top casting directors in Canada, James got to know the industry from the inside out as he quickly built up his on-screen resume.
A few breakout roles include getting cast as the lead actor in Vincenzo Natali's segment in the anthology horror film ABCs of Death 2 (2014), playing Santa Claus in Michael Dowse's heartwarming HBO Max film 8-Bit Christmas (2021) and landing a supporting role as the bumbling criminal Hammond in Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion's hit thriller Becky (2020) where he acted alongside Kevin James, Lulu Wilson, and Joel McHale.
James has also spent over a decade working behind the scenes writing, directing, and producing content at Mountain Man Media. Walking Supply (2016), a short film he co-wrote with Derek Barnes, went on to debut at The Toronto International Short Film Festival and was developed into a feature.
In 2021, James founded his own production company called Galebreak Studios, which focuses on telling captivating narrative stories of all genres, both short and feature length. He currently resides in Toronto and is represented by Karen Williams-Posival at The Characters Talent Agency.
