Stephan James is at the point in his acting career where he’s able to choose his roles, and even sometimes help shape them as part of the production team
As Toronto-born screen star Stephan James crafts his career, he says the glossy new streaming show “Surface” presents a chance to go deeper with a layered character.
“I loved the fact that you couldn’t figure out Thomas Baden in the pilot episode, that it was going to take a while before you fully got into this guy’s head, into his world, into his mind,” James said. After acting in “Degrassi: The Next Generation” and “Selma,” his breakout was a starring turn as track star Jesse Owens in 2016′s “Race,” which nabbed him a Canadian Screen Award for best actor.
“You don’t always have all your scripts beforehand,” he said. “When you’re doing film, there’s a beginning, middle, end. When you’re doing television, if you’re lucky, you get the first few episodes of a show. And then you sort of have to trust the creatives around you to deliver and execute the vision that they had promised to you.”But as he moves through his career, James said he hopes to eliminate some of the guesswork from his projects.
It’s a position he hopes to find himself in more often through the production company, Bay Mills Studios, which he co-founded with his brother, fellow actor Shamier Anderson.
