"James Huffman's portrayal of Carter is commendable, as he both looks and acts the part of a literate, sympathetic, jack-of-all-trades who seems reconciled to not living up to his potential."
Fernando Valdivia, The Times Herald Record (review of THE KING'S HORSES)
"James Huffman has a wonderful way in expressing Will's feeling that breaking up is easy to do."
PETER FILICHIA, Star-Ledger Staff (review of ALOHA SAY THE PRETTY GIRLS)
"You are truly a great actor. You have such a great ability to draw people to you immediately. That is what really impressed me about you from day one. And I'm so glad I made the choice to cast you. It was the right one!!"
S.P. Riordan, Writer/Director LIGHT & LOVE (FringeNYC 2006)
"James Huffman is a naturally funny, inventive, high-energy actor. Those fine attributes especially came across during the cold reading of Mark Von Sternberg's hilarious feature screenplay "Superfan," for which James was near-perfect as the ultimate obsessed fan- a performance we'll fondly remember for some time."
Hy Bender, Screenwriter

"James Huffman is one of the more grounded, invested actors I've ever directed. His professionalism off stage is clear as day and his on stage character conviction is compelling to watch."
Dennis Hurley, writer/director "Oblivious" (Manhattan Rep. Theatre One Act Festival 2007 www.dennis-hurley.com)
"Just wanted to send you a note saying thank you so much for participating in the Resurrection Men reading last night! It was so exciting (and nail biting), hearing it read. You were great as Billy Ray! Thanks for capturing his swagger so effectively."
Jason Nunes, playwright

I had a great time on Monday night. Your group is professional and enthusiastic. There is a lot of talent in your group and everyone is very passionate. I don’t have the titles of the films in front of me, but stand outs were anything with you in it of course, as well as the Horny Goat Weed one, the Satan one directed by Daryl, the one where you are playing a spy and last but not least, the best of the best was the one you wrote and directed. You are a God and you can quote me on that. Now when do I get paid? Hahahaha. No, you should be proud of yourselves, it was a well designed and entertaining evening and the staff at Brass Monkey was attentive and nice.
