James Thomas Kevin "Jim" Byrnes (born September 22, 1948) is a blues musician, guitarist, and actor.
Byrnes was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a homemaker mother and a municipal accountant father. He has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, since the mid-1970s. On February 26, 1972, he was struck by a passing car while he attempted to help a friend move a stalled truck, which caused him to lose both his legs. Fifteen years to the day after the accident, he started appearing on Wiseguy as Daniel Burroughs, better known as Lifeguard. It was his first major role and lasted until 1990. Later, he starred in the fantasy television series Highlander: The Series as Joe Dawson, a member of a secret society known as the "Watchers." He reprised his role as Joe Dawson in Highlander: Endgame and Highlander: The Source, later installments of the Highlander film series, as well as providing voices for the anime Highlander: The Search for Vengeance. He starred in his own short-lived TV show, called The Jim Byrnes Show. He played a recruiting sergeant for the Union Army in an episode of "Copper" called "The Children of the Battlefield."

Jim Byrnes sings to Amanda Tapping in Sanctuary: Fugue
I can't get you out of my head the way I feel,
the things that you said everything that I try to do
I can't help but to think of you
I need you, but I know it ain't right
I know these feelings I should try and fight
But every waking moment...
I dream of you girl-oh baby
People say that it's not proper
You shouldn't want when you're with another
These feelings I just can't name
I didn't write the rules of this game
I need you...but I know it ain't right
I know these feelings I should try and fight
But every waking moment...
I dream of you girl-oh baby
Maybe I should start anew
Put things right so I can get next to you
Is the grass greeener or just another story
The whole situation fills me with worry
Cause every waking moment I dream of you
So for now I'll just have to survive
And my dreams will keep you memory alive
One day maybe I'll make up my mind
And the answer to my problem I'll find
I need you, but I know it ain't right
I know these feelings I should try and fight
