James Scott (born 14 January 1979) is a British actor. He is best known for playing Ethan Cambias on the ABC drama All My Children and EJ DiMera/Santo DiMera on the NBC drama Days of Our Lives.
Scott was born in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. The eldest of four children, he has two brothers and a sister. Initially schooled in Newcastle, Scott moved to an all-boys boarding school in Lancaster.
After school, Scott moved to Edinburgh, Scotland on a voyage of self-discovery. His mother is Scottish and he spent a lot of time in Scotland as a boy. His first summer there he managed to get a job working at the famous "Gilded Balloon Theatre", one of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe's best-known venues, established by Karen Koren in 1986 in Edinburgh's Cowgate and worked with such actors/comedians as Stephen Fry, Ben Elton, and Eddie Izzard. "They set me in motion, giving me the drive I needed to move forward. Soon it became apparent that I would need to move to London in order to truly focus on this as a career," Scott remembers.
Scott began his career working in the music industry, and later started acting in community theatre.
After only a few weeks in London, Scott was spotted by the Storm Model Management agency in London, home to Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, and other prominent models. Modelling allowed him to earn enough money to put himself through college. He studied for two years at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
