About James Pitt
My Personal Statement
There is absolutely nothing ironic about me.
I have the personal convictions you'd expect when you see my image on-screen. I am what Oswald Chambers called an Iron Saint; a deeply devoted follower of Jesus Christ, our creator, God. I am a husband, a father, a man, therefore a senior leader in the Body of Christ, and the world. I take it seriously.
I've been a professional actor for over 20 years and have appeared in several movies and TV shows, including AVATAR, Close to Home, Navy NCIS, and others. I'm trained in multiple acting techniques and was nominated for Best Actor at the 2013 Idyllwild Cinefest for my performance in There / Not There, and awarded LA Indies Fest 2023 Best Actor for Because of This, upon which I was also a producer.
I've co-produced several projects, all of which have performed well. I am currently producing the most exciting project of my career, CRACKER. It takes place in the 500 year-old cattle culture in my home state of Florida:
"When a botched mission in the Middle East convinces Matthew “Math” Albritton to trade in his Kevlar and M4 for a saddle and spurs on his family’s Florida cattle ranch, he had no idea that a whole new world of corrupt politicians, murderous mafioso and crooked justice would be there waiting for him."
The start date for filming the pilot will be January 2026. I'd like to thank all of our backers in the Great State of Florida for your confidence and support! We will make you proud.
I'm currently also in training toward pilot certification which is incredibly demanding, but I love it. Being an aviator is a gift for anyone who does it. I was born to fly.
I'm a veteran of the US Coast Guard, am extremely physically fit, and one of my crazy habits is that I like running when it's over 100°. I love people, and I have a great deal of hope for our country and the world.
I will not play corrupt military officers, dirty cops, pedophile park rangers, abusive fathers, or weak men.
So don't ask.
What Informs My Acting
In addition to acting, I served in the United States Coast Guard and received a commendation by The City of New Orleans for risking life and limb to protect the citizens of the city when, during a violent winter storm, our patrol boat went down in heavy seas. I was stationed at a lighthouse, Station New Canal, crewed two UTB patrol boats there, and served aboard two cutters: the WPB Cape Gull, and WPB Cape Current.
Having said all that, it has been living life itself that has most deeply informed my craft. I come from a family that has experienced great tragedy, the dark night of the soul, the inevitable resulting struggle, and the victory of redemption and rising from ashes.
There is so much good in God's world. Come, let's tell that story.
