Was Theo James on a TV Show Before Starring in Divergent?

My sister and I have a bet. Was Theo James on a TV show before starring in Divergent?

—Sophie K., Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Yes! He was the lead in the 2013 CBS series Golden Boy before becoming an action star in the Divergent franchise. His next project, opening January 6, finds him reprising his role as the vampire David in another franchise, Underworld: Blood Wars, opposite Kate Beckinsale. “Action roles are a box I feel I’ve checked off,” says Theo James, 32, who’s interested in exploring roles that aren’t quite so blockbustery. “I’m looking forward to doing smaller things. I need to develop myself as an actor and as a person.”
