The actor who has Ataxic cerebral palsy which can cause issues with balance and coordination first appeared on Emmerdale in 2018 as Charity Dingle’s long-lost son.
Charity presumed that Ryan had died at birth and was left utterly speechless when he made an appearance.
James has previously revealed he almost gave up acting as he believed there was a lack of disabled roles in the industry.
Speaking in 2018, he said: “In order to have roles there needed to be disabled roles developed, so I was like that could hold me back a little bit.”
However, after completing a degree in Photography, he embarked on a theatre career with the National Youth Theatre with a string of small plays and short films.
Just two weeks after signing with an agent, James secured an audition for Emmerdale.
