Who is Bryton James?

Born Bryton Eric McClure under the sign of Leo on the 17^th of August 1986, in Lakewood, California USA, Bryton is an African-American Daytime Emmy award-winning actor, singer and voice artist. He is probably most famous to the worldwide audiences thanks to his most recognized role thus far – Devon Hamilton in one of the longest running and highest rated TV soaps of all time, entitled “The Young and the Restless”. He has also had a few other successes over the course of his acting career since 1990.

Early life and education: The influenced inheritor

Bryton grew up an only child, initially in his birthplace, though his family later moved to Fullerton.

He was raised by his songwriter, musician, music producer and inventor father Eric McClure, and his mother Bette McClure, of an unknown profession. His father, who invented the “Sno-Jack” snow scooter, spent great amounts of time with his only son, all the while helping him develop a feeling for art, and primarily vocal performance. Bryton felt natural, steadily entering the world of performance, eventually growing his passion into a career. As for his education, he attended an unspecified high school in his birth state, from where he matriculated in 2004. There is no evidence that Bryton attended college afterwards, and the fans believe that he doesn’t have a university degree.

Career: The slow but sure ascent

Bryton was pushed into the entertainment industry by his father very early on, being featured in a few magazine ads and TV commercials as soon as he was two years old, one of them being Michael Jackson’s. James was four years old when he started acting in a TV series, making his debut as Richie Crawford in the well-known sitcom “Family Matters” starting in 1990, the actor’s first ‘professional’ experience, remaining in the show for just about seven years, in more than 200 episodes. Thanks to that character, he was also featured eponymously in an episode of “ABC TGIF” in 1994. In 1996 he lent his voice to the video game entitled “Disney’s Animated Storybook: The Hunchback of Notre Dame”. The year 1998 marked his second ever character – Cory in the episode of “Smart Guy” entitled “Bad Boy”.

In 1999 he starred as Freddie Fay in “The Kids from Room 402”, while in 2001 he acted in a Disney production again, lending his voice to “The Jungle Book: Rhythm ‘n Groove” video game. In spite of his ever increasing success in Hollywood, James decided to take a break from his career for another three years, until matriculation.

His most important year thus far

In 2004 Bryton was picked for the cast of “The Young and the Restless” – the TV soap that has been running since 1973. This extremely popular romantic drama series, focused on the struggle between two lead families, holds a number of unprecedented records in the US. It is thus evident that Bryton’s subsequent portrayal of Devon Hamilton in the show is by far his most famous achievement, as he continues in the role today. James has thus far participated in more than 1,000 episodes, and remains one of the vital characters of the current plot.

In total, the show holds almost 700 nominations and 300 wins, with well over 11,000 episodes. Its 10 Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series definitely contribute to the recognition, while it’s also the highest-rated daytime drama on US television. According to the ratings by Nielsen Media Research, the show has been dominating its category since 1988 and for more than 1,300 weeks. It’s safe to say that every actor who gets to be in more than 1,000 episodes of the show, like Bryton, can expect a glorious career.

His other projects

Even though fully engaged with the said soap, Bryton has also found time to star in a number of other titles.

He first kept to just that role for six years, but in 2010 took up a number of offers – he gave his voice to Surge in “Lego Hero Factory: Rise of the Rookies”, and starred as Luka Martin in seven episodes of the highly acclaimed “The Vampire Diaries”, in the same year he voiced the character from the said film, in the “Hero Factory” TV series (from 2010 to 2013). In 2012 James entered with the voice of Roy into “Winx Club: Beyond Believix” for one year, and voiced the same character in 21 episodes of “Winx Club”, until 2014. In 2013 Bryton voiced Virgil Hawkins in four episodes of “Young Justice” (and four more in 2019). In 2014 he gave his voice to Zare Leonis in “Rebels Recon” and “Star Wars Rebels”. In 2015 he was featured as the voice of Cyborg in “DC Super Friends”, in which he remained for seven episodes. He put other projects on pause due to the soap for two years, then in 2017 played Cory in “The Intruders”.

Most recently, he’s voiced Corey in “Pacific Rim – the Black” (2021-2022) and Village Brother in “Tales of the Jedi in 2022

What does he do now?

While Bryton may not be involved in any upcoming titles, or any new ones  he remains a much needed member of “The Young and the Restless” cast, and is expected to remain there for a while longer. The most likely reason why Bryton isn’t finding more work is because he’s very busy with the filming of the legendary soap, his current and all-time greatest source of income.

Love life: When did Bryton divorce, and who is he dating now?

When it comes to his romantic involvements, Bryton hasn’t been too keen on divulging such information to the media, yet a few details are still known. His early partners are not that publicly familiar, but he dated Ashley Leisinger from 2009, and  the two married in March 2011, but divorced due to unknown irreconcilable differences in February 2014; they didn’t have any children. A year later, he started dating actress Sterling Victorian, remaining with her from May 2015 to August 2016. He dated his co-star Brytni Sarpy in 2019, but since then has been regarded as single but due to the obvious lack of information, this is up for debate.

Still, the fans have never associated him with a particular partner following his last known relationship, and thus he hasn’t been subject to rumors. Bryton resides supposedly alone at an undisclosed location in the US, presumed to be Los Angeles, California.

The soap star: Awards and facts

Thanks to his admirable career performances, Bryton has been nominated for an award a total of 15 times, three of which he’s won. His first was the Michael Landon Award for charitable work, awarded less for his screen presence and more for the monetary aid he’s selflessly provided to non-profit organizations. Most importantly, he won the Daytime Emmy award in the Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series category for “The Young and the Restless”, receiving another six unawarded nominations for the same show, in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2016 and 2019.

Lastly, James won The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Image Award for the above-mentioned show contribution in 2009, and was nominated for it another six times too, from 2005 to 2008, 2010 and 2012. Besides his official recognition, the popular actor is also known for his relations with a few other celebrities. The famous soap co-star Christel Khalil is his best friend, and he’s her son Michael’s godfather. Actor, writer and producer Daniel Goddard also chose Bryton for his oldest son Ford’s godfather. James tends to vacation with his best friend almost every summer, having been seen with her in Spain in 2015, and in Mexico in 2016.
