Hunter Doohan (born January 18, 1994) is an American actor and film producer. He gained recognition for his roles in the television series Wednesday (2022–present) and Daredevil: Born Again (2025).

Early life

[edit]

Doohan is the son of the Australian tennis player Peter Doohan (1961–2017) and Angie Harper Carmichael.[1] He grew up "all over the south" but chiefly in Fort Smith, Arkansas.[2] He became interested in acting via high school and community theatre programs;[3] after high school he took up an internship at Elizabeth Barnes Casting in Los Angeles[2] before working in a variety of day jobs including background extra, waiter, and Universal Studios tour guide[4] while studying acting and auditioning for parts.[2]

Career

[edit]

Doohan's breakthrough role was playing the younger version of Aaron Paul's character Warren Cave in the first season of the 2019 Apple TV+ series Truth Be Told. In 2020, he appeared with a main role in the legal drama series Your Honor.[5] He portrayed Adam Desiato, the son of Bryan Cranston's character, that gets into trouble after being involved in a hit-and-run accident.[6]

In 2022, he began portraying Tyler Galpin in the Netflix series Wednesday, an adaption of The Addams Family.[7] He stars alongside Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Christina Ricci, and Gwendoline Christie. The show received rave reviews and became the most viewed English language series on Netflix. Nielsen Media Research reported a combined watch time of 6 billion minutes within its first week of release, making it the second-biggest streaming week ever recorded by the firm.[8] The show has run for two seasons and was renewed for a third, with Doohan set to return.[9][10]

In 2025, Doohan appeared in the first season of Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again, as serial killer Bastian Cooper / Muse.[11][12] Doohan also starred in the American drama film The Wilderness, which released in October 2025.[13] In 2026, he starred in the supernatural horror film, Evil Dead Burn, the sixth installment in the Evil Dead series.[14][15]

Personal life

[edit]

Doohan, who is gay, began dating producer Fielder Jewett in 2015 and the two married in June 2022.[16][10] The wedding was officiated by Doohan's friend and co-star Bryan Cranston.[17]

While Doohan has been open about his sexuality since he was 18, he admitted to privating pictures of him and his then-boyfriend when auditioning for roles. Doohan has credited fellow actor Jonathan Bailey, who is also gay, for inspiring him to be open about his sexuality in the industry.[18][19]
