James notably appeared on TV screens in the season premiere of The Walking Dead, almost eleven years ago. His character Morgan was a cameo in the pilot episode but returned to become a season regular in a big plot twist during season four. James then went on to star in the spin off series Fear the Walking Dead which follows Morgan through the apocalypse as it happened.
