- Nickname
- The Trainer
- James T. Colovin is known for The Thing (1982), Little Nicky (2000) and Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986).
- Invented the behavioral concept of having a dog actor watch(Watch-It Command)a human actor extensively (using human methods of operation) right into their eyeballs on cue for the purpose, among other very important reasons, to enhance the digital dog-talking process that allows a dog actor to deliver his or her (voice over) lines directly to the human actor? However, this is not to be confused with traditional methods used where animals were required to talk on many well known animal-talking films. Also, not to be confused with other copied versions now used in the film and television industry. Although he created this unique behavioral design in the early 1970's, it was never used on film until the early 1980's.
- Incorporated that same behavioral concept to have a dog actor watch (See-It Command)a tangible object such as a bottle used as a prop? He created this unique behavior in 1978 but was never used on film until 1981 on a film titled, John Carpenter's, "The Thing" (released in 1982).
