For an actor like JAMES OLIVER ("David" /
"Teddy DeWitt") who appears in person to be such a
relaxed young man, it’s hard to believe he was born in a
moving automobile traveling the Blue Ridge Mountains of
Kentucky. The only son of a house and fine art painter (father)
and a prison guard (mother), Oliver was indeed delivered in
transit.
He attended the
Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington where he
excelled at theater while living in a crack house. His break out
performance was as the young Edward Albee in the West Coast
debut of Albee’s "Three Tall Women."
From Seattle,
Oliver journeyed down the coast and spent three years with the
Oregon Shakespeare Festival. He finally made it down to Los
Angeles in 2002 where he first lived on a construction site.
Timing was
good, though, and he nailed his first audition, winning a
recurring role on Frasier, playing the ascerbic coffee
barista in a 20 episode gig.
In addition to
his starring debut in House at the end of the Drive,
Oliver has appeared in the controversial Showtime Original Film,
"Our Fathers," the indie film Boardwalk Poets
and 24.
Considering his
previous homes, hanging out in a haunted house is no sweat for
Oliver who believes we all go through psychic trauma every day.
"We’re
all restless spirits," he smiles.

film's executive producer, with Jones attached in the starring
role. Critically acclaimed for that performance in the Miramax
release, she starred opposite William Baldwin, Mel Gorham, Bruce
