“Things that sizzle fast can also fizzle fast. Consistency is the trademark to greatness.”

– James Kyson

James Kyson has always been driven by his curiosity to learn, and a desire to discover. Born to South Korean Parents and growing up in New York City, he spent most of young years exploring biographies and fables from different cultures, and playing sports. After receiving education at Bronx H.S. of Science, Boston University and New England Institute of the Arts, his easy going attitude with an affinity for risk and adventure, set him off on a journey to LA with a single suitcase and an one-way ticket.

After honing his craft in theatre, music, and dance, his first television audition in 2003 landed him his first small-screen gig on CBS’s J.A.G. The following years, James, voted by TV Guide as “Hollywood’s 25 Hottest”, continued to work in television and film; Hawaii 5-0, NCIS: LA, HBO’s Animals, FX Justified, just to name a few. Other televisions credits include appearances on CSI, The West Wing, Heist, Threat Matrix, All About the Andersons and most notably playing super sidekick “Ando Masahashi” on NBC’s Emmy-Nominated ensemble series smash hit, Heroes.


James is a versatile and diverse actor for the ages. From playing mixed martial artist “Sun” in Banana Season, comic-relief best friend “Kal” in romantic comedy Another Time, investigative journalist “Pierce Lawrence” in the thriller The Livingston Gardener, to real-life musician “Tim K” in White on Rice, and Sci-Fi Galactic Cowboy “Lt. Bobby Takashima” in Nobility, James shows he’s both a performer and a transformer.

When not acting, you can find James creating conscious media with his wife, Jamee, traveling the world, attending spiritual festivals, running Half-Marathons, playing piano and guitar, playing basketball and involved in various charities and philanthropic campaigns.
