STEVE JAMES

experience as a martial artist and stunt performer. Despite being typecast, Steve James managed to establish a successful career for himself, with notable appearances in The Delta Force, the American Ninja series, and The Exterminator. He also tried his hand at comedy through the spoof film, I’m Gonna Get You Sucka, portraying Kung Fu Joe.

Born and raised in New York City, James was immediately involved in TV and stage work right after college graduation. He began as a stunt performer for the movie The Warriors, then later on started to get supporting roles. His last project was the comedy film, Weekend at Bernie’s II. One might think of him as invincible given the roles he had, but few know that he had a serious health issue. He died at the age of 41, way back in 1993.
