James just filmed the lead in Sally El Hosaini's debut feature film 'My Brother The Devil' along side Saïd Taghmaoui (La Haine, Three Kings, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra). The World Premiere is at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it is in Competition.
He was last seen as the lead role in Menhaj Huda's (director of Kidulthood) new film 'Everywhere and Nowhere'.[1] It was released on the 6 May 2011 in the UK. It played at the 2011 Mumbai Film Festival and Dinard Film Festival.
Screen International wrote 'Floyd gives an attractive star performance' [2] and Time Out described his 'a career-making performance'.[3]
The Guardian profiled him in their prestigious 'First Sight' feature of April 2011.[4]
Other roles include a washed up Mancunian '80s pop star with a secret, in the 2010 released film The Infidel.
He was also seen in the feature film Tormented playing a morbidly obsessed emo-goth, made by BBC Films & Forward Films. It was released internationally by Pathé & Warner Brothers.
2009, James was seen in Compulsion (based on Middleton's Jacobean Tragedy The Changeling) playing a feckless, party-going lothario son of an industrialist alongside Ray Winstone and Parminder Nagra which headlined ITV's spring season. It was a ratings hit with 5.2 million viewers.[5][6]
He played one of the leading roles, global soccer star Miguel Lopez, in the TV series Dream Team from 2006 to 2007.[7]
In 2007 he impressed many theatre critics playing Angus McBane in J. B. Priestley's 'forgotten' play The Glass Cage at the Royal & Derngate Theatre in Northampton. The Independent's Paul Taylor gave it 4 stars and wrote "A star-in-the-making, James Floyd brings a serrated edge of mocking, cockily comic challenge to the bibulous, impulsive younger nephew".[8]
Other acclaimed performances include, in 2008, the lead at Theatre 503 where The Stage called him 'quite superb'[9] and The Guardian's Lyn Gardner said 'James Floyd is impressive'.[10]
He made his screen debut starring as a sexually confused groom in an episode of Holby City (in episode "Metamorphosis").
