JAMES MARSDEN NEWS AND TRIVIA
  • In 1991, while vacationing with his family in Hawaii, he met actor Kirk Cameron (I) and his actress sister Candice; the Camerons invited Marsden to visit in L.A. and thus began his career.
  • Lost out to Edward Norton for a role in PRIMAL FEAR (1996).
  • Turned down the lead role in 54 (1998). Ryan Phillippe later got the role.
  • Has given up surfing the net looking for stories about himself - as they're always wrong.
  • Is defending his pal Mena Suvari from criticism over her decision to marry a man 16 years her senior.
  • Considered for the role of Rafe McCawley in PEARL HARBOR.
  • Despite being 6'1, he had to wear platform shoes so that he would appear taller than Hugh Jackman (6'2) in X-MEN (2000).
  • He performs one of the songs in GOSSIP (2000).
  • Nominated for Best On-Screen Team at MTV Movie Awards for X-MEN (2001) - shared with Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, and Anna Paquin

Quotes
  • "I was not the cool kid in high school, I was allowed to hang out with the basketball team and football team and was cool for a little while because of that. My belief is that the outcasts of high school become successful, and the cool kids become real losers because they sort of peaked early."

Awards
