8	An English actor (born 11 October 1983 in Exeter, England). He is best known for playing [[Myth/KingArthur Prince (later King) Arthur]] in [[Creator/TheBBC the BBC]] series ''{{Series/Merlin\|2008}}'', who grows from an impulsive and InnocentlyInsensitive RoyalBrat to TheGoodKing.

10	James has a reputation for being MrFanservice with countless [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]], but [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct has soundly proved his acting abilities]] in dramatic scenes ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJTsiZuI7f0 like this (spoiler!) one]]). Amusingly, his roles tend to be involved in LoveTriangle. He seems to have a tendency to play athletic characters too.

28	!!This actor provides examples of:
29
30	* BigBrotherInstinct / NiceGuy: His aversion to hitting his co-star in the face in one episode of Merlin, even asking the director if he could just grab him by the shirt.
31	-->''...[[http://youtu.be/NyPc0TZ6yfQ?t=2m41s I don’t really… I’m not sure if I should whack him round the face... I kind of held back. Because he’s only tiny.]]''
32	** Also:
33	-->''[[http://www.pinterest.com/pin/480829697688573684/ I didn’t like throwing things at Colin, he’s only a little lad. I’d ask the director, do I really need to throw this at him? And he’d say, yes, throw it as hard as you can.]]''
34	* BoisterousBruiser: He appears to be extroverted and fun-loving in behind-the-scene materials.
35	* DeadpanSnarker: He has perfect deadpan delivery in comedic scenes and snarks quite a bit in real life too.
36	* ForcefulKiss: He seems to be the victim of this in everything he has acted in. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ztalsGcqFU Most prominently on Merlin.]]
37	%%* {{Hunk}} (Zero-Context Example)
38	* MrFanservice: He is often utilized as eye candy due to his looks.
39	* ThePrankster: Often pulls jokes and pranks on his fellow co-stars alongside Creator/ColinMorgan.
40	* PuppyDogEyes: [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/59742190164 He's an]] [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/95823327253 expert]] [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/98510378703 at]] [[http://just-arthur.tumblr.com/post/30524553592/euphoria1001-pouty-arthur-requested-by it.]]
41	* RedOniBlueOni: Bradley is the Red to Colin's Blue. While Bradley is more extroverted, fun-loving and attention seeking, Colin is more introverted, quiet and shy.
42	* RomanceOnTheSet: Began dating Creator/GeorgiaKing after filming Merlin 3x06, in which she played the princess Arthur's father wanted him to marry.
43	* ShirtlessScene: Rather infamous for this.
44	** Though he himself mocks it in the Merlin commentaries, along with Colin Morgan.
45	-->''[[http://youtu.be/BZJBiaZS-b8?t=7m32s As opposed to the gratuitous top shots that I had in ep one where I was putting keys away on numerous occasions with no top on.]]''
46	* StarMakingRole: Prince Arthur in ''Merlin''
