James DuMont’s first SAG card gig was as a dancer in The Blues Brothers. But today he feels like he’s just getting started. He was Jared Leto’s character’s father in Dallas Buyers Club. He’s in the new James Brown biopic Get on Up. You may have seen him in War of the Worlds or Catch Me If You Can. The movie The Butler – DuMont was in that too. And he’s also been cast in the sure-to-break box office records film Jurassic World. On TV he appeared in the critically acclaimed Treme and Men of a Certain Age.
He grew up in Chicago, lives in New Orleans (when not in LA) and loves PBR on draft. The Dodgy caught up with the very busy DuMont and he’s our next interview.
