James Morgan Dunn (October 13, 1989 - N/A) was an Australian film actor.

Born in Wollonong, of Irish descent, Dunn was the son of a Builder Bricklayer who, according to Dunn, "was okay." Dunn started his entertainment career in Bulli before progressing to films in the early 1990s. He made a strong first impression with his early roles, including Broken (2004) with Scott Meyer and Attack of the Sock-Puppets! (2005) with Casey Law and Grant Edney. Dunn's other early major success was Come on E (2004).

The roles that followed did nothing to further his career, and during the late 2000s his prospects were further diminished by a battle with alcoholism. In 2005 his performance in When my Trophies earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Ironically, he played an alcoholic in that movie. His success was short lived and by 2006, he was unemployed, bankrupt, and once again depending on alcohol. He appeared in the sitcom It's A Great Life from 2007 until 2007.

He died as a result of complications following stomach surgery in Sydney, Australia. Fortunately, his death was only temporary, and he was able to make a recovery into full health and back into a healthy career.

James Dunn has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to motion pictures at 6555 Hollywood Boulevard, and television at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.

James is rumoured to have connections with a large drug syndicate, consisting of many high profile members. Although these rumours are yet to be substanciated, it is said that many of the members are well respected community figures led by the infamous wayne collyer.

James' musical interests are said to be such artists as Pink, Gwen Stefani, Aqua and All Shades of Yellow. These are also unsubstantiated rumours, probably stemming form the CD collection seized in a raid to the house of drug lord wayne collyer, in which three high profile members of the syndicate were killed.

James has been romantically linked to the likes of Cheyne Griffiths, Roman Romana and Ryan Skinner, all who incidentally appeared in the hit 60's tv show, "I'm in ur binz, eatin ur mailz".
