Jordyn Raya James

Jordyn Raya James began her performance career at 18 months old, when she modeled for Carter's. Her early commercial work expanded to more than 50 print and commercial campaigns, including spots for the Doc McStuffins baby nursery app and Disney Aqua Beads.

She made her first television appearance in 2014 on the second season of ABC's Bet on Your Baby. She later added acting, modeling, music, gymnastics, swimming, and piano to her artistic interests. Her short-film debut came as Young Yuna in The Female Bond, a Mercedes-Benz International Women's Day campaign about Malaysian indie R&B singer and songwriter Yuna.

James played Mimi in the Facebook Watch series Five Points, appearing in three episodes across 2018 and 2019. The role became one of her early recurring television credits.

She also appeared as Ella Belfast in the Amazon series Homecoming, credited as Jordan James. The series starred Julia Roberts, and James's credit placed her in a production with the award-winning actor.

In 2019, James began playing Ami McKellan on Netflix's Family Reunion. She appeared in 43 episodes of the series from 2019 to 2022, making Ami her most extensive television role listed in the supplied credits.

James described the multi-camera format as a professional challenge because she had to remember her positioning so that her back did not face the cameras. She also appeared as Ami in A Family Reunion Christmas and Game On! A Comedy Crossover Event.

Outside scripted acting, James became a recurring participant on the Fine Brothers Entertainment productions Kids React, People vs. Food, and Try Not to Smile or Laugh. She started appearing on the YouTube series Kids React in 2016.
