After graduation, he moved on to London's Central School of Speech and Drama. His very first film audition resulted in a role as one of Anthony Hopkins' students in Sir Richard Attenborough's Shadowlands. Since that debut performance 15 years ago, Frain has kept busy on both sides of the Atlantic. On film, career highlights include playing pianist Daniel Barenboim in Hilary and Jackie, Bassianus in Julie Taymor's Titus, Natalie Portman's love interest in Where the Heart Is and Kim Raver's ex in the fourth season of 24. (Like most of those who pass through the world of Jack Bauer, his character, Paul Raines, did not survive.) On stage, he's acted in productions at the Royal Court and Royal Shakespeare Company, among others.

Last night he did a guest shot on "In Plain Sight". I have always thought he was rather homely, but I did notice last night that he has amazing eyes. I imagine for those who did not get to see this episode, that the USA network will eventually rerun it.
Here is a site with the schedule for this episode for those who don't know about it. The site also tells where you can see it online. http://www.aboutjamesfrain.com/home.html |
