Yes, I have always adored James since I first saw him star as Grendell in 'Robin of Sherwood' I actually received a personal letter from him in 1993, together with a signed photograph which I still treasure. I would love to see him in many more things as I think he is absolutely gorgeous. I would love to know what he is doing now!

I was in a school band with James. He was a very talented drummer. James or Jimmy as he was known then was the girls favorite. None of us others (band members) stood a chance! They were great times.
