James Michael McCann (born 5 April 1985) is a Welsh writer/actor and stand up comedian. He resides in Chester, north west England, and continues to tour there with his stand up comedy routine.
EARLY LIFE:
Born in Bangor, north Wales, James grew up in Holyhead and Valley (both on Angelsey) where he fell in love with pro wrestling at the age of 10. He wanted to become a pro wrestler until the age of 17, when he decided to dedicate himself full-time to script writing and acting.
He has one older brother who runs and owns his own highly successful barber shop in Holyhead, his mother owns and operates the lettings agents right next door.
SCHOOL:
He attended Parc Primary School, where he was one of the more popular children. McCann has stated that this was the only time when he was a popular person, and that once he got to high school he felt alienated.
He still has difficulty getting on with new people, and his shyness is often masekd by a harshness that most take to be offensive and rude.
THE BACK INJURY:
In 1999 he was diagnosed with a pulled calf muscle, which later turned out to be a bulging disc in his back, which would cause him to miss most of high school's last two years, and eventually have an operation on his 5th lumbar disc.
COLLEGE:
He attended Parc Menai College on an Media course, from 2001-2003. Whist attending the course, he spent most of his time alone, usually reading in the library or the cafeteria (known as Pantri Mags) and made a short documentary about Marilyn Manson, which McCann has since stated he hated.
NOW:
Latest rumours indicate that he is attempting to qualify for his Personal Fitness Instructors qualification, as he waits to finish his latest book, a biography on Mixed Martial Artist Ken Shamrock.
He has created a site to draw attention to his favourite TV presenter (of all things!) Anna Fowler. She has actually responded to him and given him interviews for the mock "tribute" site.
He continues to interview some of the biggest names in Mixed Martial Arts and Traditional Martial Arts, as well as pro wrestlers, including Steve Corino, Cynthia Rothrock, Brandon Vera, Frank Mir, Andrei Arlovski, Bas Rutten and Paul Lazenby.
