Today we’d like to introduce you to James Wallace
Hi James, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Hey My Name Is James Wallace, I Was Born In Los Angeles As A Preemie Baby At Just 6 Months The Doctors Told My Mother That I
Wouldn’t Survive At Birth But God Had Other Plans Moved Back & Forth From South LA To Lancaster I Grew Up In A Section Where A Lot Of People Don’t Make It Out Of & In The Community Everybody Knew Each Other By Name Or Nickname I Was Inspired By That Specific Community Because The Hard Lessons Taught Me To Be Brave & Courageous With My Acting Career Now Flourishing I Give Back To That Community That I Love So Much The Reason Why I Started Acting Is Because Denzel Washington Cadence In Every Film Especially “Training Day” & I Used To Mimic Eddie Murphy & A Bunch Of Different Comedian Actors They Inspired Me To Visualize A Greater Future Also Political Leaders Like Malcom X, Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali, Huey P. Newton, Fred Hampton, Mya Angelo, Nipsey Hussle Just To Name A Few But Fast Forward Towards My Career I Started Off At 16 Years Of Age My Mom Was A Single Parent Taking Me & My Siblings To Different Career Choice Classes As Far As Band & Learning Different Instruments But I Always Had That Feeling To Want To Be A Actor & Through That I Learned Leadership Skills/ Business Lessons I Was Always Fascinated By Cameras Since I Could Remember!!! Fashion Model Is A Great Skill I Have As Well But I Love Just To Be A Great Mentor/ Leader Of The Youth & People In General Telling My Story On How I Was A Kid From The Ghetto Raised By My Mom, Uncle Tony, Grandparents & How If It Wasn’t For Them Who Knows Where I’ll Be In Life Even Though I Still Had Friends & Family I Grew Up With That Lost Their Life To The Streets & To Jail I Told Myself That’s Not The Route & Chose To Pick A Career Towards A Greater Purpose & Mission At A Young Age, I Tell That Story To So Many In Hopes It Touches & Reaches The People That Needs It The Most & I’m In The Process Of Writing My First Book Titled “Beyond Limitations” Faith Is A Big Part Of The Story Because Without God Where Would We Be The Future Is Bright For Me & This Is Only The Beginning.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Not At All Fighting Through
Self Doubt, Is It Worth The Sacrifice Were The Feelings & Emotions For Me But I Taught Myself Self Discipline By Laying A Brick Everyday & Telling Myself It’s Not Gonna Be Overnight.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m A Actor/ Model & Entrepreneur,
Leader In My Community, I Help Give Food Away At The Slauson Swapmeet Partnered With
“WeGrowLA” & Give Hygiene Kits To The Homeless On Skid Row But I Mainly Do Acting Been In Several Television Shows & Movies
I’m Just Proud Of The Fact Of How Far I’ve Come In To Be In This Position & To The People That Helped Me Get Here, I Feel Like I Separate Myself From Everyone Because Of The Way I Express Myself & Carrie Myself I Think Outside The Box Visualize Things Before I See It & No Matter The Outcome I Keep Striving.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
Being Able To Walk To The Candy House On The Corner From The Block We Grew Up On Then Having To Share My Snacks With My Cousins & Friends Because We Only Could Afford 99¢ Chips & Candy
