Added DiffLines:
* CastingGag: Along with several other ''Series/BandOfBrothers'' cast members, he voiced soldiers in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''.
* TheChewToy: There are plenty of stories of the military advisors setting him up to get pranked on the set of ''Series/BandOfBrothers''.
* ContractualPurity: Averted. He began doing family friendly stuff, with ''Hook'' and guest spots on sitcoms - but ''Hero'' and ''The Basketball Diaries'' were edgy enough to avoid this trope.
* TheDanza: As James Bronson in ''Applebox''. Also as Jimmy Donuts in ''Glenn Martin DDS''.
* DawsonCasting: See TeensAreShort below. He was twenty when he played a drug addict teenager in ''Film/TheBasketballDiaries'' and played Lazz in ''USA High'' at twenty four.
* DyeingForYourArt: Endured a ten day boot camp for ''Series/BandOfBrothers'' where he had to remain in character almost all the time. Also shaved his head for a role in ''The Box''.
* MemeticBadass: As far as his ''BOB'' cast members go. During the ten year anniversary interviews, half of them told a story about James Madio starting a bar fight in Soho. Proving how this trope can go, James's version says he went down to prevent a fight.
* PlayingAgainstType: In the show ''Queens Supreme'' as a law clerk.
* ProductionPosse: The film ''The Week'' alongside Rick Gomez, Frank John Hughes and Richard Speight Jr. All of them also appear in James's short ''Applebox''.
* RealLifeRelative: His father worked as an extra in ''Hook'' playing one of the pirates.
* TypeCasting: He'll usually be cast as characters that have BrooklynRage or that serve as the PluckyComicRelief.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** He auditioned for ''BOB'' reading for the part of Guarnere, which eventually went to Frank John Hughes.
** The scene where he delivered a ReasonYouSuckSpeech to O'Keefe in Episode 9. According to James, he wanted to physically attack O'Keefe and pull a gun on him. The director suggested he do the scene reading a book instead. James says that the change was absolutely for the better.
