The young actor was part of many different groups of other young people who wanted to act. Australian TV series called City Homicide was the first place where James got a taste of what it is like to be an actor.

Career

Frecheville got his first big break after auditioning for a movie called Animal Kingdom. The audition happened in 2008 and other 500 young men also desired the part of Joshua "J" Cody. A seventeen-year-old got the part and was incredibly happy for himself since it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Animal Kingdom began filming in 2009 and it caused some problems with James' studies but it was still worth it. Sundance Film Festival was where the movie got its first award and young Australian was called a brilliant choice to play Joshua.

After the success of Animal Kingdom James also starred in other movies like The First Time where he played Ronny and The Drop where he reprised a role of Fitz. James also went and starred in TV series The New Girl and Transparent. Though compared to his first appearance on the screen, these roles are relatively trivial.

But the Australian actor is still young and is considered to be one of the most talented young actors in his home country. It is almost certain that we will see him again in something that will take our breaths away. 24 is the age where most of his colleagues start their career, so everything is still in front of James.
