Biography

James Carabelli was born in Trenton, New Jersey, the son of Carl, an author and Jessica, an educator. In 2022, he was offered the chance to be an extra in a local television project for Bella Productions. Fate intervened on the first day of rehearsal when the director announced the lead child actor had to drop out and they were looking for a replacement. A quick audition later and James had his first leading role as Giacomo in Mama Rosalina which premiered in January 2023 and aired on Central New Jersey Network.

In 2023, he was cast in his first major cable role as Young Patrick in an episode of Investigation Discovery's Evil Lives Here: The Killer Speaks. He followed that with a co-starring role in the award-nominated short Beautiful Boy in 2024 and an appearance in the HBO crime drama Task in 2025.
