Theodore Hurt Huckabee, professionally known as Ted Huckabee, was born as the second child to Patricia Emily Sherer Sims, a multifaceted individual with a background in both art and education, serving as a school teacher. Unfortunately, Ted's father chose to divorce his mother when he was just four years old, and since then, the two have had no contact.
Ted, along with his sister and their mother, relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, where his mother single-handedly supported the family. This challenging period in their lives likely had a profound impact on Ted's early development and resilience.
Ted's passion for acting began at a young age, as he was often involved in public school plays and even landed several commercial roles through his own initiative, cold-calling the set without the assistance of an agent or representative. This early exposure to the entertainment industry led to appearances in a national treasury drug advertisement and a Weather Channel commercial during his childhood.
As he grew older, Ted pursued his education at the Northside High School of the Performing Arts, where he honed his acting skills. However, he eventually abandoned his acting ambitions to focus on college football, playing junior college football for a year at Georgia Military College.
Tragedy struck when Ted's sister unexpectedly passed away, prompting him to re-evaluate his priorities. He left his sales job and dedicated himself to acting full-time in Atlanta, Georgia. Ted's perseverance and determination paid off when he landed a role on the popular WB show Savannah through his usual method of cold-calling a set.
Today, Ted is a married man with two daughters. He attributes much of his success to his wife, who serves as a steady and realistic influence in their relationship, balancing out his dreamer personality. Described as a "hardworking working actor," Ted Huckabee continues to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
