I am James Suther, a distinctive 6’8” performer with size 16 feet—an imposing yet versatile presence on stage and screen. With a rich bass–baritone voice and a natural command of character, I specialise in roles that draw on strength, authority, warmth, and physicality. Has experience of extensive costume/creature work/prosthetics/make-up for long durations and very comfortable with it .
My experience spans musicals, plays, improvisation, open-air theatre, Shakespeare, pantomime, as well as public speaking and presenting. I am also the creator and host of the YouTube channel “Suther Therapy Talks.”
I am frequently cast in roles such as teachers, warriors, giants, strongmen, scientists, legal professionals, fathers and paternal figures, priests and religious leaders, police detectives, thugs, henchmen, villains, bodyguards, security personnel, cowboys, doctors, and night watchmen. My height, vocal depth, and storytelling instincts allow me to inhabit figures of power, mystery, humour, and gravitas with equal confidence.
