Get Intimate: James Nevada

Get Intimate with Oliver Wong

James Nevada is an actor, director, and writer. He and Oliver start their conversation talking about insecurities about their looks and body image; then James shares his creative journey from being an assistant on production sets, to have worked in the gaming industry, and to his current pursuit in acting. He also looks back on his Ukrainian-Catholic childhood growing up in a white-dominated neighborhood on the East Coast. James describes his love for pyrohy, a type of Ukrainian cuisine and Oliver shares his love for boba tea. Last year during the pandemic, James and his business partner started their company called New Angle Films, which teaches corporate improv exercises and how to utilize improv ideas and filmmaking concepts for corporate virtual meetings and teambuilding. James's book "Through The Screen: Secret Hollywood Tactics to Make an Impact in Virtual Meetings" is also written as a guide to help people better communicate and have a more efficient meeting in a virtual setting.
