James Rodriguez – Actor – Not Speaking Spanish
If you are a fan of the USA Network television series Psych, then you probably know James Roday. In addition to playing the lead character Shawn Spenser, he is also a co-executive producer of the series, and he is the voice of Gus. He has also been a cast member on two other TV shows, Psych: The Movie and Battle Creek.
In addition to his acting career, Roday has written and directed several movies. His credits include directing the films Gravy and Skinwalkers, and he has been a co-writer on other projects. After his “Psych” run ended, he continued to work as a director, directing episodes of Battle Creek, Blood Drive, Rosewood and Rush Hour.
When he was growing up, he moved to Texas, where he became a part of a Mexican-American family. His father was a retired Air Force master sergeant. At first, he was discouraged from using his Mexican last name, but he was eventually able to convince his parents to change it.
Although his Mexican heritage is an important part of his life, James Roday has chosen a professional name he feels most comfortable with. Initially, he used the screen name “James David Rodriguez” for his tv show roles. However, he decided to change it to “James Roday” when he graduated from college.
After he became a cast member on “Psych,” Roday took on more leading roles. In addition to starring in A Respectable Wedding, Roday played Edgar “Egg” Ross in First Years, and later appeared in the film Severity’s Mistress. Other movies he has appeared in are Rolling Kansas, White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, and Coming Soon.
He began his acting career with various theatrical productions, such as the Dukes Of Hazzard adaptation. However, Roday didn’t get his big break until his appearance on USA Network’s Psych. During his time on the show, he was also able to learn a lot about his Mexican-American roots.
Despite his background, James Roday does not speak Spanish. He reportedly got a chest scar from a heart surgery during his teen years. Since then, he has embraced his ethnicity. While he doesn’t speak Spanish, he is semi-fluent.
In the past few years, Roday has been a part of a few other shows. Previously, he has been a cast member of NBC’s Miss Match. Today, he is a co-executive producer of a new television series called “Psych: Lassie Come Home,” which is set to premiere on NBC’s new streaming service Peacock.
This new series is a sequel to the original “Psych” series. James Roday is also a cast member of Night of the Animated Dead, an adaptation of the classic horror movie, Night of the Living Dead. Originally, the show was slated to be released on USA Network in December 2019, but the show was pushed to a later date. It will now be released on the streaming platform on July 15th.
Psych fans will have the opportunity to revisit the series for the first time in two years when the “Psych” gang reunites for a special TV movie. Psych: Lassie Come Home will premiere on Peacock on July 15.
