After getting his break as a gay surfer in Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (2006) (Mr. Man can’t make this stuff up; reality is so much better!) Nicholas James scored a role in the hit horror flick Prom Night (2008), playing Denny Harper. It was Chester in Fired Up! (2009) after that, a goofy film with a surprisingly number of familiar faces (aka Molly Sims, Eric Christian Olsen, and a lot of “hey, it’s that guy/girl”). And while it seemed like he was on the road to becoming an actor who only appears in movies geared toward 15-year-olds, his hotness and talent managed to give him a fork in said road, and he began landing spots on primetime instead. He appeared in both NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service and NCIS: New Orleans, Hollywood Heights, The Client List, and Revenge. In 2016, he hit the jackpot, though, when he was cast as Officer Justin Lewis on Tyler Perry’s The Haves and Have Nots, airing on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. He played the part from 2016-2021, and can be seen in over 90 episodes. As a bonus, he hit it off with co-star Tika Sumpter, and the two had a kid and got married. In between being an actor and a DILF, he skydives, snorkels, hikes, and drinks exotic teas. He's also a surfer, which is probably how he got that first Sloppy role, which also happens to show the 5’11” stud-muffin in a make-out scene with a fellow guy, both of whom are ripped and hot as hell.
