James Duncan Rolfe (born July 10, 1980) is an American actor, comedian, filmmaker, and internet personality best known for starring in the web television series The Angry Video Game Nerd, a joint production of Rolfe's Cinemassacre Productions, GameTrailers, and ScrewAttack. His other projects include Board James, in which he and his best friend Mike Matei review classic board games; Monster Madness, in which Rolfe reviews 31 horror movies every October; and Movie Reviews for the Spike network. James and Mike also have their own weekly YouTube series, "James & Mike Mondays", which is also highly popular, in which they play and review games from all eras.

Rolfe began filming Nintendo video game reviews as a child in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He has created more than 270 films during his career. His career fully took off in 2004 with the beginning of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Two years later, Rolfe gained mainstream attention when one of his videos went viral after Matei persuaded him to publish them on the Internet. Between his time, he filmed videos he created on his own and most of them have been released on his website Cinemassacre. He also performed briefly in music playing on the drums. In 2008 and '09, Rolfe's character went through a fictional feud with the Nostalgia Critic. Rolfe recently released his first full-length feature film, Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie, and is due to make an appearance in the low-budget film Plan 9, a remake of Plan 9 from Outer Space. Website 4 Color Rebellion named Rolfe as "the everyman's video game reviewer" in his role as "The Nerd".
