His serious 'Matt Dillon' character was also hardened by dying his hair dark brown from his natural blond color, fairly typical of his Scandinavian/German-heritage. Still, it's difficult to imagine a 6'-7" tall blond Viking dude giggling! Sadly, hardly any of his contemporaries is still alive to recount James' reputed good-nature.
