Hollywood Hills Resident, James Wilder has a Keen Eye and Distinct Vision for the Exclusive Modern Villas
James Wilder's keen eye and distinct vision has transformed a dozen empty lots through California into panoramic living art.
Although untrained as an architect or interior designer, actor James Wilder’s keen eye and distinct vision has transformed a dozen empty lots throughout California into panoramic living art. From gothic to baroque, sleekly modern to vintage chic, each of designs boasts a singularly unique aesthetic, one of which was recognized by HGTV as among LA’s top three most outstanding properties alongside a Frank Lloyd Wright design.
Slowly the homes he built in his exclusive Hollywood Hills neighborhood that he says “inspire artists” have evolved into a loosely-structured artist’s retreat inspired by Elia Kazan, Wilder’s favorite renegade. Annie Leibovitz, Stanley Tucci, Blake Shelton, Tom Ford, Eddie Van Halen, Jesse James, and Stevie Wonder are just a few of the marquee names who have chosen his properties for photo shoots, exclusive events and long-term inspirational living spaces.
Wilder is currently starring in the thriller “3 Holes and a Smoking Gun.” He won Best Actor Red Dirt International Film Festival, Best Actor Winter Film Awards, Independent Spirit Award Garden State Film Festival and Recognition of Dramatic Excellence Buffalo Niagara Film Festival. His credits include “Equal Justice,” “Melrose Place,” Miramax’s film “Murder One,” among many others. In addition to designing homes in the Hollywood Hills, he also designs leather jackets and jewelry.
