Who is Luke Grimes?
Born under the air sign of Aquarius on January 21, 1984, in Dayton, Ohio, Luke Timothy Grimes is a 35-year-old American actor, with multiple leading roles to his credit in films and television series. Since his first appearance in 2006’s ‘All the Boys Love Mandy Lane’, Luke has impressed fans and critics alike with his versatility and ability to take on tough roles. He has the ability to play lead roles, as well as significant supporting characters, and even auditioned for the role of Edward Cullen for the first film in the “Twilight” trilogy in 2010, but lost to Robert Pattisson, who because famous because of his performance in the whole saga.
Early Childhood and Education: Growing up in Ohio
Luke was born into the American family of Randy Grimes, a reverend in a Pentecostal church; this form of evangelical Protestantism values baptism as a ritual, as well as purity of spirit. There is no information about his mother, Angie Baker. Luke has three older siblings. Since his family was very religious, he didn’t socialize much during his childhood, spending a lot of time in religious camps. In an interview with Blag magazine he said: ‘I was sheltered as a child so I quickly realized what I didn’t want to do and how much I didn’t want to live. It helped me mature and clarify my priorities. Besides religion, his parents also placed great emphasis on education – an outstanding student, Luke enrolled in Dayton Christian High School in May 2002. Subsequently, he decided he wanted to be an actor; acting was a means of expression for Luke, so the logical solution was to move to New York, where he enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts to study acting. In 2004, he graduated from the famous art conservatory, ready to conquer the industry.
Career Beginnings: All the Boys Love Mandy Lane and More
In 2006, Luke finally made his big screen debut, starring as Jake in ‘All the Boys Love Mandy Lane’ – the film was critically acclaimed and considered one of the best titles in the horror genre. While Jake played a relatively big role, it took another movie for him to become more famous, and in 2007 he played the lead role in “War Eagle, Arkansas”, which allowed him to show his acting skills in a more demanding role. With the success of his first two parts, Luke then landed roles in ‘Assassination of a High School President’ and ‘Shit Year’, before getting his first real break. In “Brothers & Sisters,” he took on the role of Ryan Lafferty for a total of 35 episodes, his first role on a major television show, and recognized him as a true star.

Continued success: True Blood and Fifty Shades of Gray
After 2010, Luke was already an established actor, so he managed to continue his string of successful performances. ‘The Light in the Night’ was followed by ‘Outlaw Country’ and the hit action flick ’96 Hours: Istanbul’ – critics especially loved her chemistry with Liam Neeson during the hostage crisis depicted in the film. Because of this quality performance, in 2013 he was cast as James Kent in six episodes of “True Blood”. A year later, Luke made everyone happy with his performance as Marc Lee in the hit movie “American Sniper.” In 2015, he had perhaps the biggest role of his career, playing Elliot Gray’s older brother in the erotic drama “Fifty Shades of Grey.” 2016 was a particularly busy year, as he appeared in works such as “Manhattan Undying”, “The Magnificent Seven” and “Shangri-La Suite”.

1 | I’m not really a fan of organized religion. |
2 | I don’t invest too much in the future. |
3 | It’s really strange to be close to an icon like Bruce Willis. You’re used to seeing it on a 50 foot high screen. To think, ‘Hmm, I’m taller than you’ is just weird. |
