James Daily
About
James Daily is a Southern California trial attorney, cowboy, and natural storyteller who brings authority, rugged charm, and an easy sense of humor to film, television, and commercials. Having tried more than 50 cases to verdict and argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, he knows how to command a room, connect with an audience, and make every word count. A member of Los Caballeros, a horsemen’s club with a 77-year tradition, Daily is as comfortable in the saddle as he is in the courtroom. His masculine presence is balanced by warmth, quick wit, and a gregarious personality. He brings lived experience to characters whose confidence, complexity, and credibility must feel authentic. Daily’s courtroom instincts translate naturally to character work: understanding motives, reading people, listening closely, and recognizing when a pause carries more weight than a speech. Comfortable before a camera, he offers a distinctive presence for courtroom dramas, Westerns, comedies, and commercial storytelling. Wise, a little wild, and decidedly younger in spirit than his years, Daily combines a trial lawyer’s discipline with a cowboy’s independence. He can command attention, disarm with a smile, and leave an audience wanting to hear what happens next.
