James Wolk, a native of Farmington Hills, Michigan and 2007 graduate of the University of Michigan drama school, won the prestigious role of ‘Brad Cohen’ in CBS/ Hallmark Hall of Fame’s "Front of the Class". Based on the book of the same name, James beautifully portrayed Brad, who has been challenged with Tourette Syndrome from a young age but defied all odds to become a gifted teacher. In 2009, he landed the title role in the ABC pilot "Solving Charlie" directed by Gregory Hoblit. James plays a young detective who, after his estranged father passes away, learns he has an 11 year old half-brother by the same name. His father’s last wish is for Charlie to raise his younger brother. Most recently, James landed the lead role of ‘Robert/Bob Taylor’ in the 2010 FOX pilot "Midland" directed by Marc Webb. James plays a con man who has wives in two different Texas towns and leads a double life. The cast includes Eloise Mumford and Adrianne Palicki as Bob’s two wives, veteran actor David Keith as Bob’s con-artist father, and Oscar winner Jon Voight as a powerful Texas oilman whose daughter is one of Bob’s wives. James will also be appearing later this year in the upcoming Disney feature film "You Again" with Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Odette Yustman, Sigourney Weaver, and Kristin Chenoweth. He now resides in Los Angeles.
