Johnny Whitworth (born October 31, 1975) is an American actor.
His early years were spent in his birth place of Charleston, South Carolina with his mom. When he grew older, he moved to Dallas, Texas with his dad (parents are divorced). At age 15/16 in 1991, he won the 1st Young and Modern Man Contest. shortly after, he moved to Los Angeles with his mother and at the age of 18 started his acting career with a guest appearance on Party of Five in 1994. His debut in movies was with Bye Bye Love in 1995. That same year, he played the lead in the film Empire Records. The movie became a cult classic.
He quit acting after his first few movies, but then made a comeback in 1997s The Rainmaker. He currently has a recurring role on the CBS crime drama CSI Miami, where he plays bad-boy Detective Jake Berkeley, a love interest of Calleigh Duquesne. The storyline is swiftly making Whitworth`s character a controversial one, as his competition for Calleigh is long-time CSI agent Eric Delko. As of the end of Season 5, Jake was no longer an ATF agent but a Miami-Dade homicide detective working with the CSIs. Season 6 sees Whitworth return in the first episode, with a promise of more to come.
He has also just completed Pathology, co-starring Alyssa Milano and Milo Ventimiglia, as well as Game with Gerard Butler and Reach for Me with Seymour Cassel and Alfre Woodard.

"After my first job, I got a real concept of what Hollywood is and what the work is about. Really, after the last two years, I`ve realized just how full of shit everyone is. So, I`m definitely not the newest kid on the block, but I tend to be the skeptical one."
