Wortham Krimmer
Llanview Presence
Andrew Carpenter (1991 to Present)
At a Glance
Wortham Krimmer plays Reverend Andrew Carpenter,
whose heartfelt advice and gentle demeanor have
comforted the souls of many Llanview residents. A
deeply passionate man, Andrew is trying to cope with
losing his wife, Cassie, to journalist Kevin Buchanan.
Andrew Carpenter is not Wortham's first role on a
daytime drama. He is well-known to audiences for
playing the evil Cal Winters on "Days of our Lives," a
role that is the complete opposite of Andrew. In 1993,
Soap Opera Digest named Andrew Carpenter Best
Hero, no doubt for the pivotal role he played in "One
Life to Live's" landmark homophobia storyline, which
culminated in the display of the Names Project AIDS
Memorial Quilt.
Wortham was born and raised in Chicago. At age 17
he left to attend Colorado College in Colorado
Springs, where he graduated with a B.A., and where
he met his wife Mary Ellen, a Denver native. Wortham
headed for law school at the University of California,
San Francisco, but two years later realized it was
acting that he wanted to pursue. He was immediately
accepted on scholarship to the prestigious American
Conservatory Theatre, where he received his M.F.A.
He has also studied acting with Stella Adler and
Robert Lewis.
After graduating from the American Conservatory
Theatre, he began to perform around the country in
some of the top regional theaters. Wortham's credits
include starring roles in "Tamara," "The Cherry
Orchard," "Richard III," "Men's Singles," "Man and
Superman" and "Our Town," at such theaters as the
American Conservatory, South Coast Repertory and
The Mark Taper Forum.
Wortham's numerous television credits include
recurring roles on the series, "Babylon Five," "The
Paper Chase" and "Max Headroom"; as well as guest
stints on "E.R.," "Knots Landing," "The Twilight Zone,"
"Newhart," "Hill Street Blues," "St. Elsewhere" and
"Harry and the Hendersons," to name a few.
When not required on the set, Wortham spends all of
his time with his wife Mary Ellen, a photographer; their
beautiful son, Max, and equally beautiful daughter,
Tess.
