Adrienne Wilkinson Biography
This blue-eyed beauty was born in Missouri. She started taking dance classes at the age of two, and was performing in recitals and on stage almost immediately. Her pursuit of dance continued through high school with various dance classes and companies. While a senior in high school, she joined a theater troupe. A showcase with casting directors led to Adrienne being offered roles in two network series. In fact, these were her first two auditions. She had fallen in love with acting. At her parents' request, she put her new career on hold to finish school. Then two days after graduation, she moved to Los Angeles to continue chasing her dream. Almost immediately, Adrienne booked roles in short films and frequently landed guest spots on many shows. In 2000, she landed the role that would introduce her to the world and bring her international fame -- playing the dual characters of Livia and Eve, the daughter of Xena, on the most watched show in the world -- Xena: Warrior Princess. Adrienne soon became a fan favorite, and when the show wrapped, she quickly moved on to the lead in the UPN series, As If, where she played Nikki -- the boy-obsessed college co-ed. From there she has continued to make many appearances in film and TV and is sought after for her voiceover work. Fortunate that she has never had a specific "type," Adrienne is able to move seamlessly from comedy to drama and from one distinct role to something completely different. She is known for compelling performances that are brave, focused with intensity, and grounded in sincerity. Adrienne continues to pursue her passion and is striving to create a timeless career that can be celebrated for the unique choices she makes and the diverse characters she portrays. She surprises, delights and leaves you wanting more. Adrienne has two younger sisters and one younger brother. Her sister, Tracey Bradley, is a director and producer with Pulse Studios. She studies with acting teacher and veteran actor, Ken Lerner. Her fan club and website was established in 2000 and is active and growing. She was a producer and co-founder of the film and television production company Nite Owl Productions. A voracious reader, Adrienne has found several projects that she would like to produce in the future. Adrienne graduated from Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri. Alumni include Brad Pitt and Jay Kenneth Johnson. Her heritage includes Irish, English, Scottish, Cherokee, Danish, and German. In 2004, she produced and starred in Closer by Patrick Marber at Stages Theater in Hollywood. Adrienne played the role of Alice Ayers. Adrienne grew up as a dancer, studying and performing everything from tap, ballet, jazz, ballroom and hip hop, to Scottish Highland, Irish dancing and even gymnastics. In high school, she was a choreographer and performer with PRIDE theatrics, a dancing, singing and theater group that toured and performed for local high schools. She also established the dance troupe New Sensations, which performed every summer through her teens. She was part of the short-lived girls pop group S.L.A.M.M. The group name used the first letter of each of the girls' names and also included Marisa Lauren, one of her oldest and dearest friends. Adrienne is still a singer and hopes to one day incorporate that into an acting role. Adrienne has worked with more than two dozen charities -- including literacy programs, animal rescues and scholarship funds for students whose lives have been affected by cancer.
