James Chahine
- Actor
- Producer
The son of Cuban-American parents, James Chahine was destined to enter
the world of Film/Television when he began reciting lines from his
favorite movies by the time he was four years old. Almost immediately
upon entering elementary school he was recognized as a regular fixture
in nearly every play and special performances held at the school which
continued all the way through high school and The University of
Michigan. As "Danny Zuko" in "Grease - The Musical" Jim garnered
several drama club awards for singing, dancing and acting. Shortly
after earning his B.A. in Theatre Arts from The University of Michigan,
Jim made his way back to his home town of Detroit where he soon became
involved in several community theatre productions which would
ultimately lead to Chicago and the renowned Steppenwolf and Second City
stages. As career progression naturally follows success, the versatile
young actor from the stages of the windy city headed west to the sunny
landscape of palm trees and the bright lights of Hollywood where he
quickly found himself working on the ABC Soap "Port Charles." Other
films and TV roles soon followed such as "The Heartbreak Cafe",
"Desperate Cries", "Sacrifice" and the NBC Soap "Passions". It could
easily be said that the theatrical future of James Chahine looks more
than promising.
