Gregori J. Martin, creator of the award-winning series sent a text to James following the 2016 Daytime Emmy Awards asking if he would be interested in joining the cast. James will portray a younger version of Nicolas Costas’s [‘Santa Barbara,’ Lionel Lockridge] Jack Madison.

The role of a younger Jack Madison will allow James to portray the darker side of the character and that means he gets to play all the bad stuff.
