Oliver James is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and actor.
It is implied that Oliver’s character in the film What a Girl Wants (2003) is of mixed-race background, as his character states: “my mother was a deb [debutante]… Then she chose to marry beneath her… Her parents probably disowned her… but for some reason they took pity on me, their half-breed grandson. Paid for me to go the right schools, got me into all the right clubs…”
It is not clear if Oliver himself is of mixed-race ancestry. His mother’s maiden surname is “Edwards”.
