Timeline

On 27 September 2015, he reprised his role as EJ DiMera of Days of Our Lives on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, reuniting with Alison Sweeney (as Sami Brady) in honour of Noujain Mustaffa and the Syrian refugee crises.

On 2 May 2014 it was announced that Scott would be leaving Days of Our Lives to pursue other endeavours.

During an interview in April 2014, Scott described a spiritual experience he had in Peru during a trip to the country, from which he had just returned prior to the interview – and during which he took Ayahuasca with the guidance of Native Peruvian shamans. During the interview, Scott described the experience as "the single most positive experience of my life" and further stated of the experience that "it sounds wacky when you say it, but it was truly the most important thing I have ever done. I came back a very different person."

As time went on, he began to model for clothing companies. During a modelling trip to Los Angeles, he went to an acting class at the Ivana Chubbuck studio in Hollywood. The class inspired him to save money and make the move to Los Angeles. He studied acting for two more years before being cast on All My Children. Scott originated the role of Ethan Cambias in August 2004 and played it until February 2006. He then moved on to Days of Our Lives where he took on the role of EJ DiMera in May 2006.

After school, Scott moved to Edinburgh, Scotland on a voyage of self-discovery. His mother is Scottish and he spent a lot of time in Scotland as a boy. His first summer there he managed to get a job working at the famous "Gilded Balloon Theatre", one of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe's best-known venues, established by Karen Koren in 1986 in Edinburgh's Cowgate and worked with such actors/comedians as Stephen Fry, Ben Elton, and Eddie Izzard. "They set me in motion, giving me the drive I needed to move forward. Soon it became apparent that I would need to move to London in order to truly focus on this as a career," Scott remembers.

James Scott (born 14 January 1979) is a British actor. He is best known for playing Ethan Cambias on the ABC drama All My Children and EJ DiMera/Santo DiMera on the NBC drama Days of Our Lives.
