James Bingham is starring on the Apple TV+ series Swagger!
The actor landed the role of Drew Murphy, a young, skilled basketball player who would do anything for his team, after a worldwide casting search.
Swagger is inspired by NBA star Kevin Durant‘s experiences and explores the world of youth basketball, and the players, their families and coaches who walk the fine line between dreams and ambition, and opportunism and corruption. Off the court, the show reveals what it’s like to grow up in America.
