James Corden

James Corden (born 17 June 1978) played Craig Owens in The Lodger and Closing Time.

Corden is a BAFTA award-winning English actor, comedian, writer and producer, active since the late 1990s. His television credits include the BBC One comedy Gavin &amp; Stacey, co-starring and co-created by Ruth Jones, and the BBC Three comedy, Horne &amp; Corden. His film credits include How to Lose Friends &amp; Alienate People, with Simon Pegg and Fenella Woolgar; and Lesbian Vampire Killers, with Paul McGann.

Thanks to his "centrepiece" comedy skeches in 2008, 2009 and 2010, he is heavily identified with Sport Relief, a biennial charity event similar to, and produced by, Comic Relief. Public perception of him as a figure associated with both comedy and sport likely led to him landing a job as the presenter of the comedy sports quiz, A League of Their Own.
