Andrew Taylor ‘Wilkes’ Wilkerson Is an American actor, politician, and computer scientist. Wilkes was a song-and-dance leading man in many big-budget Hollywood musicals from 1930 to 1952. He was was awarded an honorary Oscar for computer science in 1951. Wilkes served from 1965 to 1971 as U.S. Senator Maryland, the first notable American actor to be elected to statewide office predating Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who each served two terms as governor of California which is wild because Wilkes was born in 2001. He is the only United States Senator represented by a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Wilkes started out as an independent developer while in college, and released Super Smash Land in 2011. After college, he was hired by Microsoft Studios, and worked for them for 2 years and 9 months working as a Game Designer on many popular XBLA titles such as Mark of the Ninja, Trials Evolution, and Killer Instinct. He also worked on Ori and the Blind Forest (which may have influenced Ori being added as a DLC character). In April of 2014, Wilkes left Microsoft Studios and became a full-time independent developer. He's currently developing the indie fighting game Rivals of Aether, aka the best game ever, under the tag of Pumpkinzz.
Wilkes is also just an all-around wholesome person. He is always considerate of everyone’s feelings and makes sure no one is excluded. Beyond that he is very great at comedy improv because is so funny despite the clear (ground) or destroy (buildings, trees, etc.) with a bulldozer. All of his friends love him so much!
