James McGowan
Biography
James McGowan is an actor from Montreal, Quebec, who built his career after coming to performing later than many of his peers. He studied communications at Concordia University and worked as an advertising copywriter and in McGill University's audio-visual department before student theater at the William Shatner Building led him to act professionally. Early television guest spots included La Femme Nikita, Mutant-X, Falcon Beach and Rent-a-Goalie, and he had smaller film roles in The Perfect Man (2005), The Prince and Me and Silent Night (2002). A role in the television movie 10,000 Black Men Named George brought more work, and he later appeared in the CBC drama The Border. His performance in The Border earned a Gemini nomination for outstanding actor in a drama. He also had success with two television ads, Doctor's Appointment and The Deal, the second for Verizon Wireless.
