Wylie Weeks(I)
- Actor
- Producer
Wylie is an Actor in New York City.
He was born in Houston, Texas. Graduated Spring Branch High School in 1961.
A Theater major at Houston Baptist University for a year then got married
and had 2 daughters & 1 son. After his divorce he went back to Houston Baptist University
20 years later & finished his degree in Acting in 1981.
After driving a cab in Houston for 2 years seriously deciding
to move to New York he made the decision to go. After living in the
Sloan House YMCA on 34th Street for 7 years, he qualified (thanks to
his SAG background work) to move into Manhattan Plaza, the performing
artists building in midtown NYC where he lives today. He has studied at the Lee Strasberg
Theater Institute where he met Elaine Aiken (long time member of the
Actors Studio). He left Lee Strasberg Theater Institute & went with Elaine when she formed her
Actors Conservatory. There he studied with her for 8 years. During that
time he had the privilege of being in the class when Alex Baldwin
joined the class to brush up on his work. He did a scene from Streetcar
Named Desire. BrookShields came for a short while. Michael Imperioli &
John Ventimiglia were also long time members of the class before they
were on the Soprano's. He did background work on Carlito's Way with
Vine Pastore (before he was on the Soprano's) when they both were extras.
Today Wylie is pursuing Principal Acting work, but the studying still continues.
He is now studying with Pamela Kramer (Meisner Technique) for the last 8 years.
