James Wilder is a multi-talented individual who has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry as an actor, architect, and designer. Born in Sausalito, California, Wilder was raised in a bohemian environment that encouraged his creative freedom.
Wilder's early career began as a street performer, earning more money as a fire-eating and knife-throwing artist than as a grocery bagger. He later discovered his passion for acting and began performing in film, television, and stage productions.
Wilder's breakout role was in the Broadway hit "Sugar Babies," and he later became a member of the Actors Studio in New York. He has since appeared in numerous films and television shows, including "Scorchers," "Flypaper," and "Nevada."
In addition to his acting career, Wilder is also a skilled architect and designer. He has transformed empty lots throughout California into unique living spaces, each with a distinct aesthetic. His designs have been recognized by HGTV as among the top three most outstanding properties in LA, alongside a Frank Lloyd Wright design.
Wilder's homes have also become a popular destination for celebrities and photographers, with Annie Leibovitz, Stanley Tucci, and Blake Shelton among those who have chosen his properties for photo shoots and events.
When not acting, designing, or building homes, Wilder can be found searching for vintage treasures or working on his classic cars and Indian motorcycles.
