For Rhett Wilkins, acting has always been a process of self-discovery. After graduating high school, he enrolled in acting classes on a whim. A few months later, however, he wanted to pursue acting more seriously, and at the urging of his agency he moved to Los Angeles, CA. After working in low budget film and television, Wilkins took a break from acting, moved to New Braunfels, TX, and worked in a plant nursery as a horticulturist. Wilkins eventually returned to acting; he wrote, produced, and starred in his own short film, Tuesday. In 2004, he appeared in the feature film, The Puffy Chair, which premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.
