Hunter Doohan never imagined acting as a career growing up in Fort Smith, Arkansas—until his high school theater changed everything. Following his role as Tyler Galpin in Netflix’s ‘Wednesday,’ Doohan shot into fame. Now, with the show’s phenomenal viewership and a much anticipated season three underway, the actor is eager to return to Dublin to resume filming and reunite with the cast.

VMAN: Hometown? 

HUNTER DOOHAN: Fort Smith, Arkansas

VMAN: Zodiac Sign?

HD: Capricorn. 

VMAN: What made you decide that you wanted to be an actor?

HD: Getting involved in theater in high school. I’m so grateful for my high school theater department and the local community theaters. I had always loved film and TV but never even imagined it could be something I could pursue while growing up in Arkansas.

VMAN: How do you relate to the character you most recently portrayed?

HD: I can’t speak too much about my character in Evil Dead Burn yet… But I always find ways to relate to my characters. Sometimes that’s trickier when they are literal monsters but that’s the fun of all this. 

VMAN: Outside of acting, what are you passionate about?

HD: Spending time with the people I love. Donating time and money to causes I care about like the ALS Network and organizations standing up to ICE. Trying to create my own projects. 

VMAN: How would you describe your style?

HD: Oh god I don’t know… I just want to look and feel hot when I’m going out and what that is changes all the time. 

VMAN: How do you define success?

HD: I guess getting to work on projects that excite and fulfill me. I have been so lucky in these last few years. There’s still so much I want to do, and I’m also aware how fleeting it can all be.

VMAN: You’re back in the world of ‘Wednesday’ for season three—what are you looking forward to the most?

HD: To go hang out with everyone in Dublin again! I love everyone involved in that show so much.
