Carter Jenkins began his acting career in his home town of Tampa, Florida, beginning with Community Theatre around the age of seven. His parents thought this would pacify his desire to be an actor, but they couldn't have been more wrong! After the performance of a community play Carter was approached by a local agent. That night set things rolling. After booking local and national commercials, Carter really wanted more. In July of 2002 he and his mother traveled to L.A. for training. After two weeks in L.A., he was represented by a top agent and was soon getting auditions as well as callbacks and bookings. Coming from a very close family and not wanting to be separated, his success made it necessary for the family to make the move to Los Angeles. Carter now lives in Los Angeles with his parents, his older sister and older brother (also an actor). In addition to acting Carter enjoys playing baseball, basketball and football. He loves being with his family and having fun. And although not living in Tampa Florida anymore, he is still a Buccaneers fan.
Has an older sister Tiffany, and an older brother Renneker. His favorite book is "Holes" by Louis Sachar "Forrest Gump" and "Rebel without a cause" are his two favorite films. Considers his parents to be his biggest influences. Brother of Renneker Jenkins
