James Counihan is a New York City based actor originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He holds a
BFA Acting degree from Ithaca College.
Growing up in between two brothers, James is a proud middle child and is 100% Irish!
James knew his dream of becoming a NBA superstar came to an end when he chose to play the Ugly Duckling in the musical Honk! instead of playing on an AAU basketball team when he was in middle school. Since then, James has jumped headfirst into the arts, primarily focusing on creating and acting in works that examine the human condition through theatre and film.
