James Daniel Marrs Ritchey (born 21 April 1989)[2] is a Canadian,[3] actor,[4] musician,[5] director,[1] cinematographer,[6] television host,[7] script writer,[8] stand-up comedian,[9] and vlogger[10] who is best known for hosting the television series Glorious North.[11]

Personal life[edit]

Ritchey has one younger sibling.[12] He graduated from Prince George Secondary School in 2007,[13] and since then has studied New Media[14] at the University of Lethbridge,[15] and English[16] at Athabasca University.[17] He is also an alumnus of the Justice Institute of British Columbia,[18] and Careerstep.[19] Despite applying twice to the Canadian Armed Forces,[20] he has never served.[21]

Online[edit]

Online Ritchey is most well known for his application to season 5 of Big Brother Canada. While his application was declined,[22] his vlog about applying received a great deal of attention,[23] including over 220,000 views,[24] making it his most watched YouTube video at the time.

He has deleted many of the videos from his YouTube channel.[25] In late 2016 he deleted most of the videos from his YouTube channel,[26] notably including "57. Current Chart - Y2016M7D24",[27] the source of the Heartbroken Cowboy meme.[28] The Heartbroken Cowboy meme entry on Know Your Meme received over 125,000 views[29] within the first 9 months,[30] and its template is available on most meme generators.[31]

Ritchey's DeviantArt profile[32] has received over 180,000 views,[33] and his artwork "March Whiteout" notably received over 20,000 views in its first month on DeviantArt.[34]

On 10 December 2018, Christin Löhner announced the Linux Counter project would end, citing lack of time and user interest.[35] In 2019 Ritchey launched Lius as a replacement.[36] By 2020 the site had 324,048 users.[11] In mid 2020 Ritchey announced Lius would be shutting down so that he could focus his time on other pursuits.[37]
