Maxwell James

"Maxwell James is the Senior Producer at Critical Role Productions LLC. Previously he worked at Legendary Digital Networks and freelanced as a producer for music videos, commercials, and sketches. In his early life he was a touring musician and bartender. He originally went to college to be a 2nd grade teacher, but dropped out and left his home of Sacramento to pursue a career in film. He’s fooled everyone into thinking he doesn’t like being in front of the camera, but the secret is he’s done plenty of acting and loves it (shhh… don’t tell the cast). In his personal life, he enjoys searching for obscure music genres, spending time with his cats, and trying to forget the horrible things Bryan W. Foster has said to him."

Max produced Between the Sheets and multiple episodes of Talks Machina. He has been a producer of Critical Role since 2016, and senior producer since 2018. He has appeared on multiple episodes of Critical Role's programs and in their promos.
