ACTOR BIO
Jim Childs received his first theatrical review in the Pasadena Star-News, which described his portrayal of Mr. Paravicini as "sinister, sinister, sinister" in the highly acclaimed Agatha Christie murder-mystery The Mousetrap. He has continued to captivate audiences with his dynamic range and powerful performances on both stage and screen, such as the leading title role of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Sorcerer and the insufferable Carter in Dennis E. Noble's A Game. Often known for specializing in eccentric and villainous roles, he has recently appeared in two psychological thrillers, has guest-starred on television shows, and is currently hosting a horror-comedy series called The Super Shock Show.
Jim has studied the Yat Malmgren method at the Simon Adams Studios and is an alumnus of LACC's Theatre Academy, where he was instructed under the tutelage of Jennifer Rountree and Fred Fate. His actor training also includes the Kristin Linklater theory and commedia dell'arte.
Raised in East Los Angeles and educated in New York City, his background extends to puppeteering, voice-over work, and he was a member of the Sam Donlavy Dance Company in Hollywood. And, while he enjoys meeting and working alongside new people throughout the country, he also seeks to draw much-needed attention to the local talent of Las Vegas as well as to provide support and help propel the filmmaking industry there.
