Cameo co-founder Martin Blencowe told LADBible: “When ‘Harry Potter’ actor TomFelton tried to persuade James to join Cameo, he was hesitant because hedidn’t think he would get many bookings. Popular from the start, it remainedcommitted to its fans and kept an accessible price. He always does everythinghe can to make every Cameo message special.” That’s not all. Martin confirmedthat James has also created the largest number of Cameos for fans around theworld. The actor has about tens of thousands of videos to his credit.
