Where the credits fall

One frame per year from 2001 to 2021, filled where a credit lands, empty where none does. The empty frames are the informative part: a filmography is usually described by its total, and the total is the one thing that hides the gaps.

The shape of the career

The first credit on record is 2001 and the most recent is 2021, with work in 15 separate years. 2015 was the busiest single year, with 4 credits landing in it, the kind of cluster that usually reflects films shot earlier arriving at once rather than an unusually productive twelve months.

The longest gap runs 3 years, between 2016 and 2019. A gap that size in a screen filmography is worth noticing rather than smoothing over: it is where the record stops describing a run of work and starts describing whatever happened instead, a project that collapsed, a move into other media, or simply nothing being offered.

What those films actually are

One of these credits sits in a film this site holds full cast data for, which is worth spelling out because a title on its own says very little.

Sinister 2 (2015) , directed by Ciaran Foy carries 8 credited performers — James Ransone's role in it is not recorded. A cast that size is small enough that every name in it is findable, which is not true of most films.

Reading the list

26 credits across 15 working years averages out at roughly 1.7 per year in the years with any work at all, a figure worth treating carefully, because release dates bunch and a filmography is a record of when films came OUT rather than when they were made. Of the 26 credits, 2 carry a character name, so the rest are placed by film and year alone.

What this page is built from

Structured film records, pulled by the same process that produces the cast pages here, not written from memory, which for credit data is how errors get in. What that source is reliable about is who was credited. What it carries unevenly is character names, and what it almost never carries is billing order, so nothing here calls any of these 26 credits a lead role, because the data cannot support that claim.

Questions about James Ransone

How many films has James Ransone been in?

26 credited film roles are on record, running from 2001 to 2021. That counts feature credits only, so television and uncredited appearances are not included.

When was James Ransone most active in film?

The 2010s, with 18 of the 26 credits. The full spread across decades is listed above.

Why are some roles missing?

Character names are recorded for 2 of the 26 credits. The source is reliable about who was cast and patchy about what they were called, so the rest say the role is not recorded instead of leaving a blank that reads like an oversight.

Was James Ransone in a film that got a sequel?

Yes — Sinister, whose follow-up Sinister 2 is released since. The tracker carries the evidence behind each of those verdicts.

Where do these details come from?

Structured film records pulled from Wikidata by the same process that builds the cast pages here, cross-checked against each film's own listed cast rather than written from memory. Where the record is thin — a missing character name, an unconfirmed billing order — the page says so, which is more useful than a confident sentence with nothing behind it.
