James has ataxic cerebral palsy, the same disability as his character Ryan has.
He recently confessed that he didn't believe he was going to be able to make it as an actor.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, he said: "A lot of it I think was my own personal struggle, my own mental struggle. I didn’t believe that I could do it - but it wasn't for lack of trying."
He added: "But I got into the National Youth Theatre and found my agent and it was like a steamroller from that point."
