Welcome to the home page of James David Porter. I am a 6-foot 7-inch tall actor, teacher, and voice-over artist with extensive classical training and a powerful stage presence. Please stay and have a look around the site. Here you will find my resume, monologue reels, and contact information. Thanks for spending a little time with me!

Reviews
Poe:
"We were particularly impressed by the controlled power of Porter's ranting lunatic. Masterful and breathtaking! He is accomplishing something that's almost painfully true to life. Porter's performance is unpretentious and realistic, and you can just let it flow over you and freak you out."
-Julie Peterson, Phoenix New Times
Pygmalion:
"A delicious comic performance. James David Porter is a scene-stealer as Eliza's money-grubbing father, particularly when expressing anguish over a sudden windfall that forces him into middle-class respectability."
-Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic
Merry Wives of Windsor:
"James David Porter is a large man. Sporting all the extra padding demanded of playing Sir John Falstaff, he is the presence on the small stage. Fortunately, he is also very funny, deftly handling Falstaff's cleverness and self-indulgent humor as well as the physical stuff. And that Woolley voice makes his atypical Falstaff exterior unimportant."
-Racquel Hendrickson, Verde News
