Biography

Jim Youngs hails from Old Bethpage, New York. The youngest of four siblings in a remarkably talented family, he worked as a nightclub manager, dance instructor, and golf pro before pursuing acting.

On a whim, Jim went with his older sister Gail to a Manhattan casting call for the cult classic The Wanderers (1979). Not only was he invited to audition for its renowned writer/director Philip Kaufman, but he also landed a lead role. Captivated by acting, Jim moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 1979, where casting directors took note of his charm and good looks. He secured a recurring role in the short-lived TV series Secrets of Midland Heights (1980) and refined his craft studying under acting coach Harry Mastrogeorge. Soon after, he earned a series of supporting roles in films and TV movies. His credits include Splendor in the Grass (1981) alongside Melissa Gilbert and Cyril O'Reilly, The Executioner's Song (1982) with Tommy Lee Jones, the acclaimed musical Footloose (1984) featuring Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer, the hockey drama Youngblood (1986) with Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze, and the romantic comedy Nobody's Fool (1986) starring Rosanna Arquette and Eric Roberts.

Jim's first leading role came in 1987 when director Rick King cast him as an aspiring American soccer player seeking advice from the legendary Pele in the sports film Hotshot (1986). Although the movie underperformed at the box office, Jim's athleticism and acting talent stood out, establishing him as more than just a handsome face. In 1990, he reunited with Wanderers co-stars Ken Wahl and Tony Ganios in an episode of the CBS crime drama Wiseguy (1987). His other notable work includes starring in You Talkin' to Me? (1987) and Skeeter (1993), delivering a passionate performance opposite Jane Seymour in Keys to Freedom (1988), and appearing on popular TV shows like NYPD Blue (1993) and Babylon 5 (1993).
