Crafty St. James’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.

Crafty soon produced another play, "Moe & Me" and was excited to hear from LA critics that his physical comedy was considered classic and compared it to Jerry Lewis or Charles Chaplin.For 8 years Crafty worked in television production in many aspects, learning from some legends and everyone he encountered.
This meant the long hours on set limited his time to audition and work on his acting craft. He vowed to improvise at every possibility.A natural physical comedian, he once auditioned for 3 short plays at the same theatre company and got cast in all three roles.
