James grew up in Stony Brook, New York and graduated from Ward Melville High in 1983. He played football and wrestled in high school. He attended college but did not graduate.
Always the class clown, James drifted toward comedy and began doing stand-up in Long Island in 1989. As his stature as stand-up comedian grew, James increasingly appeared on talk shows, including such major shows as The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and others. His on-stage presence translated to acting and he soon found himself on the small screen in MTV’s sports game show Sandblast from 1994 to 1996. After moving to California to pursue acting, he befriended Ray Romano and would guest star on Everybody Loves Raymond. Those spots would lead to the development of his own show, King of Queens, which became a certifiable hit and ran for 9 years on CBS. The show established James as celebrity and opened the doors to the big screen.
James film debut came in the Hitch, alongside Will Smith, and grossed over $366.7 million at the box office. He would continue to work in movies, often with friends like Romano and Adam Sandler, with which he would appear several times, including I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan and Grown Ups and its sequel. He also starred with Vince Vaughn in The Dilemma. James got his first lead starring role in Paul Blart: Mall Cop and followed that up with starring roles in Zookeeper and Here Comes the Boom.
