Evan Ragland Farmer, Jr. (born July 28, 1972) is an American actor, musician, designer, songwriter and television personality.

Career

Farmer then moved to NYC to get started in the entertainment business. He soon won modeling and commercial jobs, and landed a spot in Russian pop group Ha-Ha (pronounced Na-Na)in 1997 and toured worldwide with them, before returning to NYC to perform on Broadway.

He is known for his role in MTV's film and series "2ge+her", a stint on the U.S. soap opera "Guiding Light", and for his three seasons as host of "While You Were Out" on The Learning Channel. He has also hosted several television shows on cable networks such as TLC, HGTV, and VH1. He has guest-starred on television shows and has been a fill-in host for MTV's "TRL". He was known for voice-overs for various projects before 2ge+her, including "Daria" and "Celebrity Deathmatch". Currently, he is the host of HGTV's Freestyle.

Farmer co-wrote "You're My Baby Girl" for 2ge+her's first album, and in 2000 joined them as opening act on Britney Spears's summer tour. He has also appeared in minor roles in movies such as "Shaft Returns", "Austin Powers in Goldmember" (as the teenage version of Robert Wagner's "Number Two").

In 2002, he and architect Tom Granthem started "Renovolution", which renovates single-family homes and puts his strong interest and background in carpentry to good use. He is actively involved in many charities, most notably Susan G. Komen for the Cure, [http://www.MakingaDifference.org/ The Michael Cuccione Foundation] , Rebuilding Together, and Bras For a Cause. He responded to the Pacific Tsunami Disaster with a $10,000 donation to the Unicef Tsunami Disaster Relief Fund. During the final season of "While You Were Out" he shaved his head as a show of support for his mother, who was then battling cancer.

Newest projects

Farmer recently began Bourgeois Farmer Productions with colleague, David Bourgeois of White Lake Music and Post, to create innovative programming that not only entertains, but makes a difference. The first will focus on a band called Flame. He also recently began The $100 Hotdog, which will be a show featuring "great food, wacky characters, and the fascination of flight."

Personal life

Farmer is named after his father, Dr. Evan Ragland Farmer, a dermatologist. His mother, Jamison Holdren Farmer, passed in August 20, 2007 from post-op infection from surgery to remove a bowel obstruction (she previously survived breast cancer and ovarian cancer), sparking more of Farmer's diligent charity work. Evan, Jr., is the only one in his immediate family who did not go into the medical field. He has two sisters, Molly and Eliza; Eliza is 2 years older, Molly 4 years younger.

Farmer has been married to Andrea M. Smith since October 2006, and lives with her in Nashville with their dog Sally.

Farmer also has a home in Saratoga Springs, NY and an apartment in New York City.
