James Christopher Read (born July 31, 1953) is an American actor.

Read was born in Buffalo, New York. He started acting as a student of the University of Oregon where he graduated in 1976. He studied acting in New York and then did several off-Broadway and regional theatres such as "The Denver Center Theatre Company", where he had a couple of leading roles and spent three seasons.

Read is perhaps best known for his role as George Hazard in the TV miniseries based on the "North and South" novels by John Jakes and for his co-starring role in the movie "Beaches".

He had a recurring role on The WB series "Charmed" as Victor Bennett and was also a regular during the first season of "Remington Steele".
