Evan Ragland Farmer, Jr. (born July 28, 1972) is an American television host, radio host, actor, musician, designer/customizer, author, entrepreneur and real estate investor. He is best known for his lead role as Jerry O’keefe in the MTV Film and follow up television series 2gether, and as host and carpenter within the home-makeover television genre including Emmy-nominated While You Were Out (TLC), Freestyle (HGTV), and Door Knockers (DIY).
Farmer was born in Asmara Ethiopia (Now Eritrea) on July 28, 1972, and spent a large part of his early childhood traveling the world with his mother, a nurse and family therapist, his father, a prominent dermatopathologist, and his sisters Eliza and Molly.
Farmer showed an early interest in the arts after becoming heavily involved in local theatre as well as shooting several television commercials for a local shopping mall in Baltimore, MD.
Though Farmer continued with regional theatre and music, it wasn’t until he graduated cum laude from Tulane University, having studied architecture and organizational issues management, that he sought professional work in entertainment.
In 1997 Farmer was courted to join Russia’s highest selling band in history: Na Na (also written Ha Ha). As part of the courtship, Farmer joined them on a stretch of their 1997 World Tour: Prykinda which included stadium performances throughout the former Soviet Union. Farmer ultimately declined to join the band amid concerns of being out of the country for extended stretches during a time when his mother was battling cancer.
It was a year later, that Farmer found himself again on stage playing stadiums and arenas, this time with the spoof Boy band 2gether, which included opening for Britney Spears on her 2000 Oops!... I Did It Again Tour.
