Ed Sanders

Biography

Ed Sanders attained celebrity via his involvement as a contributor to reality shows, but entered show business through a back door. A native of London, Sanders nurtured dreams of acting glory from the tender age of 11, and at 16 decided to make those dreams a reality -- by learning a couple of specific trades unknown to most in the entertainment industry, trades that would set him apart from the pack. His father suggested carpentry and joinery, and Ed followed suit with formal training in both arenas. Meanwhile, on the side, Sanders auditioned for, and landed, roles in commercials and local stage productions. He moved to Hollywood in 2004, and indeed, his long-term plans paid off when the producers of the reality series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition tapped him to participate in that program. In 2007, Sanders landed a follow-up program, as the host of the competition-based reality show National Bingo Night. - Nathan Southern, Rovi
