Evan Ragland Farmer, Jr. (born July 28, 1972) is an American actor, musician, designer, songwriter, television personality, and author. ==Career== Farmer moved to New York City after graduating Cum Laude from Tulane University in 1995 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 take over the role of Matt () in The Fantasticks. He is known for his role in MTV's film and series ''2ge+her'' on which he portrayed "Heart-throb" ''Jerry O'keefe''. His several visits with ''2ge+her'' as performer on ''MTV''s, ''TRL'', eventually led to him being asked to substitute host the show when Carson Daly needed time off. He is also known for 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, DIY, WE, and VH1. He was known for voice-overs for various projects before ''2ge+her'', including ''Daria'' and ''Celebrity Deathmatch''. 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 and Rob Lowe's "Number Two"). In late 2001 Evan recorded and released his self-titled solo album to very little fanfare and it faded into obscurity. 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, (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 ovarian cancer. In 2010, Farmer began hosting CMT's weekly show, ''Top 20 Countdown'' for which he is also a producer, replacing Lance Smith, who held the job for eight years. In 2010, Farmer completed Five Episodes as Host of a brand new series for the DIY Network, titled ''"Door Knockers"'' which aired in 2011. In addition to his job hosting ''CMT's Top 20 Countdown'', in 2012, Farmer filmed two television pilots as Host; the first for A&E titled ''Dance Marathon'' and the second for CMT titled ''CMT's Dance Revolution''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evan Farmer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
