James admitted that while he thought the title of the ‘hottest man on TV’ was flattering, it did make him uncomfortable.
On the show, fans will remember that he often had shirtless scenes as the show’s resident hunk.
‘Are you okay with the ”hottest man on TV title?” host Larry Emdur asked.

‘No, I was never okay with it, I spent most of my career playing bad guys until housewives,’ James said.
He added: ‘I had never been hunky. I was happy to be there, don’t get me wrong, but it was uncomfortable. It follows me forever, that shirtless shot in the front yard.’
James said when he first read the script, that required him to go shirtless, he was eating pizza and drinking beer and then hit the gym straight away.

He added: ‘It’s a lot of work, Larry!’
James added that he was happy with how his character was killed off on the show.
