Occupation: Maths teacher and American football coach at a local school.

In Depth Appearance:
James stands at a mighty height of 6’ 4”, and weighs in at 250lbs. He has been playing football and/or lifting weights since he was around fourteen or fifteen, and even though he doesn’t play football professionally anymore, he is still in good shape. James has brown eyes, and dark brown hair that he keeps short at the sides and longer on the top, which is the same as his brother, despite being 27. He sometimes has some stubble, but usually he shaves it, as it is darker than the hair on the top of his head, and closer to black, and he doesn’t like how it doesn’t match. Usually, he will wear a short sleeved shirt when he’s not at work, and some jeans. If he’s at work, he’ll wear a button up shirt, a tie, a waistcoat, and sometimes a matching jacket. He’ll also wear the matching suit trousers, and smart shoes.

Biography:
Then: James was born to Phillip and Christine Carpenter in Thornhill, Pennsylvania. His father was of British and Irish origin, whilst his mother was Pennsylvania Dutch. Both of his parents were Catholic, and therefore he was raised one, too. As he grew up with his twin brother, James spoke some German, although a majority of his conversations were in English. Unfortunately, Christine developed breast cancer when James was just five, and died when he was six. After his mother died, James’s use of German declined sharply, as his father did not speak it very well.

When he was growing up James’s father, Phillip, did the best that he could to ensure that his children had a good childhood, as he had haemophilia. Thankfully, a father cannot pass the gene for haemophilia down to his son, which meant that they were safe. However, he wanted to make sure that in case he got a bad infection and became seriously unwell, or even worse, died, that his children had good memories of him, even if they weren’t with their mother too. This lead to James being pushed to do sports, and he ended up becoming a very good football player.

During the filming of the series, James had fun, but also made sure to not look like a complete fool, being worried of what could happen to him if he did stupid things on camera. He partied, had some alcohol and had fun, and every so often Christine would show up and they’d make out. He tried drugs once, but it was only a joint of weed, and he didn’t like it too much and didn’t do drugs after then, unlike his brother, Thomas.

Between: After the series ended, James began to focus more on his grades and playing football, and managed to get good grades, especially in maths, and became an excellent football player. This ended up good for him, as he was able to get a full athletics scholarship to Yale, where he majored in maths and was also the quarterback for the Yale Bulldogs. After his education at Yale, he went into the NFL draft, where he was the third player chosen, but the Minnesota Vikings. He played in the Vikings team for two years, when he decided that he wanted to become a teacher. He trained to be a maths teacher, and returned to his hometown of Thornhill. He is now a maths teacher there and is also the football coach. He is still very athletic and goes to the gym almost every day. He has also had a child with his wife, Christine, with whom he had been going out since before the show started.

Now: James is a teacher at the school where he went, in Thornhill, Pennsylvania. He is also the football coach, seeing as his former job was professional football player. He keeps fit and goes to the gym almost every day. He lives with his wife, son, and brother.

Centric Episode/s: 
Unitiled: James relives his former days as a professional footballer when he gets a visit from some former and current Minnesota Vikings, and reconsiders his job as a teacher.
