Ashton James was born and raised on the beautiful island of St. Lucia, before moving to Toronto, Canada. At a young age, he experienced the arts, specifically theatre through his favourite actor, his grandmother. She inspired him to pursue the calling himself. Ashton attended and graduated from Humber Colleges "Acting for Film and Television" program, and continued his training at the Canadian Film Centre in the CBC actor's conservatory. James' goal is to work on projects that are meaningful, inspiring and fun - experiences that expand his horizons.
