The Enchanted actor and former Versace model confessed he used to be a singer in a cheesy band when he was first starting out.

Speaking at A Fine Romance, a charity fundraiser of celebrity performances honouring musicals from stage and screen, James said: “I was in Oklahoma so I was in a country band called Trailblazers or something embarrassing like that.”

He joked that he and Hugh Jackman – who was also at the event – could work together in music, laughing: “We could do the X-Men duet.”

Jimmy performed at the 5th Annual “A Fine Romance” Benefit at Fox Studio Lot in Century City on May 1, 2010. I’ve uploaded high quality photos from this event.

Actor James Marden says the resources afforded him as a drama student while attending high school far exceeded the experiences of his peers in Hollywood.

Marsden spoke of the importance of strong arts programs in public schools as he was inducted into the Putnam City Schools Foundation’s 2010 Wall of Fame Tuesday. The 36-year-old attended Putnam City North High School in west Oklahoma City.

Marsden, whose films include “X-Men,” ”The Notebook,” and the recent comedy “Death at a Funeral,” says most of his peers didn’t have a stage to perform on, “much less a 1,600-seat performing arts center.”

I’ve uploaded screen captures of Jimmy at “Lopez Tonight” on April 15, 2010.

Getting laughs can be a challenge when you’re starring alongside professional funnymen Tracy Morgan, Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock.
So what’s an actor to do? If you’re James Marsden, who stars in Death at a Funeral, opening today, you creatively lose your mind.

“I’ve never taken acid or any hard drug,” Marsden, 36, says. “My wife (former Days of Our Lives actress Lisa Linde) tried to get me to take a mushroom, but I was too scared. Instead I watched a documentary on the man who invented LSD. But the most important research I gathered was from the crewmembers. I asked them about their acid trips in the 1960s and 1970s.”

For Marsden, the role was liberating.

Jimmy appeared on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” this Tuesday. I’ve uploaded screen captures from the show to the gallery.
