He is the son of Elizabeth (née Boyle), who worked in mental health affairs for the state of Massachusetts, and Roy Remar, who was an attorney.{{cite web |title=James Remar |url=https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/159971%7C0/James-Remar/#biography |website=Turner Classic Movies |access-date=November 1, 2023}}{{cite book |last1=Egan |first1=Sean |title=Can You Dig It: The Phenomenon of The Warriors |date=January 2022 |page=58 |publisher=BearManor Media |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3LRIEAAAQBAJ}} His father was of Russian Jewish descent, while his mother was a native of England and of Irish descent.

Remar dropped out of high school when he was 15, although he attended what he described as "kind of an alternative school" for a year afterwards. He then traveled around the United States, briefly playing guitar in a rock band. Eventually, he returned home and went back to high school, although he decided not to attend college after graduating. Remar has said he decided to become an actor when he was 20; after he was laid off from his job as a roofer, he remembered a previous job performing at a summer camp, and said he would give himself three years to attempt an acting career before he would try something else.
In Florida, Remar earned a role in a state production of Cross and Sword. Afterwards, he studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, but was not asked back after his first year, which he described as "a devastating experience". Remar continued searching for other acting jobs, eventually landing the part of Kenickie in a touring production of Grease, and also performed at the Ensemble Studio Theatre, before making his film debut in On the Yard.{{cite book |last1=Egan |first1=Sean |title=Can You Dig It: The Phenomenon of The Warriors |date=January 2022 |page=59 |publisher=BearManor Media |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3LRIEAAAQBAJ}}
