James Ramsey

"Look mister, if we're gonna fight these zombies, we need GUNS!"

- James, on sharing with Cletus.

James Ramsey is a survivor appearing in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. He was found in Huntin' Shack in the North Plaza during the unmarked scoop The Gun Shop. He was shot and killed by Cletus Samson.

The Gun Shop
James was attempting to convince the owner of Huntin' Shack, Cletus, to lend them some guns to fight the zombies. Cletus refused to do so on the grounds that he couldn't trust them. James cautiously approached Cletus, believing that he could handle the situation, only to be shot square in the chest by Cletus.

After Cletus was defeated by Frank, he panicked and ran out of the store, only to be attacked and killed by a zombified James, who then can be put down by Frank.

Trivia

 * The voice actor for James Ramsey is Dave Wittenberg.
 * James must have been bitten by a zombie since he appears as one after he is killed during the aftermath cutscene of The Gun Shop.

 * In James' notebook photo, he sports a black shirt, but in game, he wears a green shirt.
 * On rare occasions he is invisible in the cutscene.
 * There are zombies in the mall that resemble his zombified version.
 * If James was infected, then he technically would have been dead as Cletus killed him before he went through zombification.
