Maizy James

Maizy James was born in London, the daughter of a French-Scandinavian mother and English-Irish father. Self described as "independent, adventurous and a wild child", at the age of 11 Maizy begged her father to participate in a radio presenting competition that was happening for the BBC, while he was at the Ideal Home Exhibition in London; she ended up winning the competition and continued to do various stints on TV and radio with her bubbly, infectious personality. Maizy traveled the world as a model from there on, until she was invited to do an acting class with Sharon Harris who, much to Maizy's surprise immediately asked her to join as a client under the Harris agency. Maizy spent the next two years honing her acting skills, training with various techniques and coaches until she fell in love with Sanford Meisner, where she continues to train. Maizy practices Tae-Kwando, Krav Maga, Pilates and yoga. She is also trained as a dancer, loves traveling, horse riding, any form of art, sport, or anything fast and adrenaline filled.
