The storyteller behind Murr
James S. Murray is an American comedian, writer, actor and producer, born on 1 May 1976 in Staten Island, New York. Audiences know him as Murr from Impractical Jokers.
Murray works with the comedy troupe The Tenderloins. Their live improvisation and sketches led to the hidden-camera challenges of Impractical Jokers, where the performers test one another’s willingness to follow instructions in public.
Alongside television, he writes fiction. His books include the Awakened trilogy and the thriller Don’t Move, the latter written with Darren Wearmouth.
The 2026 film Don’t Move adapts that novel. Murray helped write and produce the film, directed by Maclain Nelson, and also appears as D. Chiggins. The project connects his work as a novelist with an on-screen horror story.
