- Born in Butte, Montana, Mark Jenkins grew up on a cattle ranch in Wyoming and didn't discover theater until his undergraduate career in the 1960s at the University of Wyoming. He has headed the University of Washington School of Drama's Professional Actor Training Program (PATP) since 2003. A three-year graduate program leading to a Master of Fine Arts degree, the PATP is intended for students who aspire to a career in acting.
In 2003, the program was cited by the New York Times as one of the nine most outstanding professional theater programs in the United States. Jenkins studied with Lee Strasberg, who is credited with establishing the Stanislavsky "Method Acting" in the United States. Jenkins is a lifetime member of the Actors Studio.
