Young cast leads new Sky1 sitcom After Hours
He stars as Willow Hannigan, an 18 year-old jobless music lover who's just had his heart broken for the first time.
James (represented by United Agents) is a graduate of the Brit School, he played a young Eddie Marsan in Brit sci-fi comedy feature film World's End, and will next be seen in sci-fi action feature Our Robot Overlords.
Newcomer Fergus Van Gelder plays Willow's best friend Chris.
There are no jobs in the small Northern town Willow lives in, his beautiful ex-girlfriend has moved on to someone new and most of his mates have gone away to university whilst he's been left behind, living with his parents. The only thing that keeps him sane, other than his best friend Chris is listening to local internet radio show After Hours, which is run from a canal boat by Lauren (played by Jaime Winstone) and Ollie (played by Rob Kendrick)
Father Ted star Ardal O'Hanlon plays Willow's dad, Peter Hannigan, an ex-milkman who found himself jobless when the big supermarket opened, who is married to Anna (Susan Cookson), a woman who would secretly love a job at the new supermarket. The series will also feature John Thomson as Geoff, Peter's best friend who finds sanctuary on the Hannigan's sofa.
Written by John Osborne and Molly Naylor, the 6x30 minute episodes are being produced by production company Jellylegs, which previously made The Café for Sky1.
Early Doors and The Royle Family star Craig Cash is directing the show. He said of the show: "John and Molly have created a world which is not only very funny but has genuine warmth at its heart. It's a pleasure to be working with such talented new writers and a cast of great comic actors".
Commissioner Lucy Lumsden added: "After Hours is a beautifully written series about growing up in a small Northern town which will capture the hearts of our Sky1 customers. We're delighted to be working with Craig Cash again."
After Hours will be shown on Sky1 sometime in 2015.

Glasgow Girls casting news
Back in March open auditions, advertised on Screenterrier, were held in London and Glasgow for a new BBC drama Glasgow Girls.
Now the cast of the 60-minute factual and musical drama has been announced.
Waterloo Road star Kirstie Steele plays Jennifer, and Shetland star Erin Armstrong plays Emma, two of the local Glasgow teenagers, Roma refugee Agnesa is played by Identity Agency's Olivia Popica, Amal by My Brother The Devil's Letitia Wright, Aruhan Galieva (represented by Sally Hope Associates), a talented singer and musician plays Roza, Ewelina and Toni-Lee are played by newcomers Effie Scott and Kirsty Pickering.
The drama is based on the inspirational true story of a group of schoolgirls whose petition to save their friend from deportation inspired a movement, which would eventually help change immigration practices in Scotland.
When 15-year-old Agnesa Murselaj, a Roma from Kosovo, and pupil at Glasgow’s Drumchapel High, was taken by Immigration officers in a dawn raid, her friends refused to let her go without a fight. As she and her family awaited deportation at a detention centre in London, fellow pupils Amal, from Somalia; Roza, from Kurdistan; Ewelina, a Polish Roma; and local Drumchapel teenagers Emma, Jennifer and Toni-Lee, banded together to campaign for her release.
What started as a school petition grew into one of the most memorable human rights campaigns of a generation as they lobbied the Home Office, challenged the First Minister in public, and won the support of their community.
Gary Lewis plays Drumchapel High’s bilingual support teacher Euan Girvan, and Greg Hemphill takes on the role of First Minister of Scotland Jack McConnell.
The story of the girls’ campaign was originally captured in an Amnesty International award-winning BBC Scotland documentary in 2005 and has since inspired a stage musical. Now, this talented young cast will bring a whole new version of the Glasgow Girls story to life for the screen with contemporary musical moments enhancing the story and themes.
It was commissioned by Zai Bennett, Former Controller, BBC Three, who said: "Glasgow Girls is a thrilling blend of true story, high drama and musical storytelling. Only a channel like BBC Three would attempt to re-tell a hard hitting immigration story in this way."
The film was directed by Brian Welsh who co-wrote the script with Joe Barton, produced by Kate Cook for Minnow Films and is part of the BBC’s year-long contribution to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Cyber Bully
Maisie (represented by Louise Johnston Management) shot to fame playing Arya Stark in Game of Thrones and this year as well as being named as one of the UK’s international Screen Stars of Tomorrow, she won The Entertainment Weekly’s award for best Supporting Actress.

Casey is a teenager who experiences the worst the web has to offer – from peer-to-peer bullying to advanced computer hacking – and fights to overcome her ordeal.
The plot of Cyber Bully is inspired by dozens of real-life cases. What happens to Casey is extreme, and framed in a dramatic format, yet all the events depicted are possible and indeed have happened to victims individually.
The film will take place in a single location and is centred around the single character of Casey.
Director Ben Chanan said, “The audience will be trapped with Casey for a full screen hour and we need an exceptional actress to play her. I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the role. Maisie Williams is not only remarkably talented, she also has an immediately likeable, feisty screen presence which makes you root for her instinctively”.
Cyber Bully is produced by multi-award winning Raw TV and will be broadcast in early 2015.
