James Maitland Stewart was born on May 20, 1908, in Indiana, Pennsylvania, to Elizabeth Ruth (Johnson) and Alexander Maitland Stewart, who owned a hardware store. He was of Scottish, Ulster-Scots, and some English descent. Stewart was educated at a local prep school, Mercersburg Academy, where he was a keen athlete (football and track), musician (singing and accordion playing), and sometime actor.
In 1929, he won a place at Princeton University, where he studied architecture with some success and became further involved with the performing arts as a musician and actor with the University Players. After graduation, engagements with the University Players took him around the northeastern United States, including a run on Broadway in 1932. But work dried up as the Great Depression deepened, and it was not until 1934, when he followed his friend Henry Fonda to Hollywood, that things began to pick up.
After his first screen appearance in Art Trouble (1934), Stewart worked for a time for MGM as a contract player and slowly began making a name for himself in increasingly high-profile roles throughout the rest of the 1930s. His famous collaborations with Frank Capra, in You Can't Take It with You (1938), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), and, after World War II, It's a Wonderful Life (1946) helped to launch his career as a star and to establish his screen persona as the likable everyman.
Having learned to fly in 1935, he was drafted into the United States Army in 1940 as a private (after twice failing the medical for being underweight). During the course of World War II, he rose to the rank of colonel, first as an instructor at home in the United States, and later on combat missions in Europe. He remained involved with the United States Air Force Reserve after the war and officially retired in 1968. In 1959, he was promoted to brigadier general, becoming the highest-ranking actor in U.S. military history.
Stewart's acting career took off properly after the war. During the course of his long professional life, he had roles in some of Hollywood's best-remembered films, starring in a string of Westerns, bringing his everyman qualities to movies like The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)), biopics (The Stratton Story (1949), The Glenn Miller Story (1954), and The Spirit of St. Louis (1957), for instance, thrillers (most notably his frequent collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock), and even some screwball comedies.
On June 25, 1997, a thrombosis formed in his right leg, leading to a pulmonary embolism, and a week later on July 2, 1997, surrounded by his children, James Stewart died at age 89 at his home in Beverly Hills, California. His last words to his family were, "I'm going to be with Gloria now".- James Stewart was born on 21 October 1975 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He is an actor, known for Packed to the Rafters (2008), The Condemned (2007) and Tomorrow, When the War Began (2016).
- Born in Columbia, SC, James is a retired military officer and current university business professor. Following graduation from the University of South Carolina as a broadcast journalism major and theater minor, he went on to graduate school eventually completing academic programs in theology, law and business. After years of professional and military experience, he has only recently returned to acting. James has appeared in film, television, and corporate media presentations. He is married with two children.

James C. Stewart was a late entry into the acting world, after a good friend persuaded him to drop the shy kid persona he had always clung to, and join the cast of their high school production in their hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand.
Being good with numbers, he surprised no-one by going straight into a banking job out of high school, but continued to take acting classes on the side to help that shy kid come out of his shell. At the point when the bank had just about sucked his soul dry, he surprised the hell out of everyone by announcing he was leaving to go to the Linwood Performing Arts Centre (LPAC). He spent the two years there working out if this acting thing was really for him, and with a resounding YES he has not looked back since.
Thrust out into the real world, along with fellow LPACers he co-founded the award-winning Scrambled Legs Theatre Company and spent several years with them, writing and performing, mixing acting with contemporary dance (being the little guy he was always the one getting lifted and flipped).
Needing a life change, he left his hometown for the cultural capital of New Zealand - Wellington. After a short time there he became a co-founding member of the award-winning theatre company The Bacchanals, and this began his love of Shakespeare. The company became known for making Shakespeare accessible to everyone, and toured to many small towns in the country that would not normally have the chance to see the plays live off the page. Many contemporary and classical highlights of his career were born here.
He spent the next few years making a name for himself gravitating between playing the comic sidekick, with multiple crazy characters, to the villain. This led to not only great roles in theatre, but also principal roles in indie feature films Event 16 (2006) and The Last Great Snail Chase (2007), as well as the lead in the European Festival award-winning short film Rob (2007).
Now how on earth did a shy Kiwi from Christchurch, New Zealand end up living in the U.S. of A. you may ask. It's all thanks to the craziness that is the Green Card Lottery. Yes, they actually have a lottery for that. Just when he was ready for another change of scenery and contemplating a move to Australia, the lottery he had been entering for over a decade suddenly let him know he had won!
So in 2007 he uprooted his life, said farewell to family & friends, and moved everything to the Big Apple of opportunity. The place where his only recognized New Zealand credits are the months he spent as an orc extra on The Lord of The Rings: ROTK, or the fact that he did a play with those Flight of the Conchords guys and the director of Thor: Ragnarok. Plus now he has gone and fallen for an American, so it looks like the States is stuck with him. In 2013 he became a citizen, so now has dual US & NZ citizenship, then after eight years in NYC, including being Co-Artistic Director of the critically acclaimed and published Redd Tale Theatre Company, he relocated to Seattle in 2015 to bring Kiwi to the Pacific Northwest.- Producer
