Derrick A native of Texas, James Arlen O'Keefe began acting in high school and never looked back. He has since trained with many great teachers at schools such as The American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles and The New York Film Academy out of UCLA. Sons of the Rodeo marked James' return to the acting world after a five year hiatus..."because we all need to get away!" Since recently relocating to Los Angeles, James has appeared in several other independents and can be seen in the part of Issca on Young and the Restless. He sends many thanks out to the Universe for the opportunity to work with Director Matheson Muir and all that were a part of SOTR.
