James Corden (born 22 August 1978) played Craig Owens in the Doctor Who stories The Lodger and Closing Time, and the box set exclusive Up All Night.

Corden is a BAFTA and Tony award-winning English actor, comedian, writer and producer, active since the late 1990s. His television credits include the BBC One comedy Gavin & Stacey, co-starring and co-created by Ruth Jones, and the BBC Three comedy, Horne & Corden. His film credits include How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, with Simon Pegg and Fenella Woolgar; and Lesbian Vampire Killers, with Paul McGann.

Thanks to his "centrepiece" comedy skeches in 2008, 2009 and 2010, he is heavily identified with Sport Relief, a biennial charity event similar to, and produced by, Comic Relief. Public perception of him as a figure associated with both comedy and sport likely led to him landing a job as the presenter of the comedy sports quiz A League of Their Own.

Also, Corden hosted the BRIT Awards in 2013.

Interstingly, in Gavin & Stacey Corden's character had a younger sister played by Sheridan Smith, who played Eighth Doctor companion Lucie Miller
