Erana James is a rising star in the acting world. With her roots deeply embedded in the rich Maori culture, Erana's journey is as captivating as her performances. She spent her early years on a farm, surrounded by nature's beauty, before her family moved to the bustling city of Wellington when she was just 10 years old.

Erana's academic pursuits led her to Victoria University, where she honed her skills and prepared for her future in the arts. Her breakthrough came with the role of Toni Shalifoe in the gripping TV series "The Wilds" (2020-2022), which catapulted her into the spotlight and earned her widespread recognition.

Throughout her career, Erana has graced both the big and small screens with her talent. She made an uncredited appearance in the epic fantasy film "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" (2013) and has since starred in a variety of notable productions. As of 2024, Erana is enjoying her single life and has no known siblings or children. Her dedication and talent have contributed to her estimated net worth of around $5 million, a figure that continues to grow with her flourishing career.

Erana calls Melbourne, Australia, her home, where she continues to inspire and captivate audiences with her exceptional performances.
