Jess Conrad OBE (born Gerald Arthur James, 24 February 1936, Brixton, London) is an actor and singer from England. As a boy he was nicknamed "Jesse" after Jesse James; as there was already an actor named "Gerald James" in Actors Equity, a dramatics teacher who was a fan of Joseph Conrad and the image of adventure his name conjured up suggested the stage name of "Jess Conrad".
