Alan Ritchson has carved a space for himself on both the large and small screens since he made the trek from a small town in Florida to Los Angeles.
Alan Michael Ritchson was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to Vickie (Harrell), a high school teacher, and David Ritchson, a U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant. He is of Czech, English, and German descent. Frequently relocating as the middle son of a military family, Alan learned to adapt and entertain in order to build friendships in new and unfamiliar environments. Certainly this has been a key ingredient in his success so far in the industry.
Alan's early credits include portraying Aquaman in the long running series Smallville. This marked the first portrayal of the superhero in an officially licensed live-action production.
Ritchson has also taken on grittier leading man roles in the independent film market with the modern-day western "Rex" and the dramatic love story of "Steam" alongside Ally Sheedy.
In contrast, he also made quite a comedic impression with his love-to-hate-him character of Thad Castle on the football comedy Blue Mountain State. He parlayed his comedic skills to work with Rebel Wilson in her CBS pilot Super Fun Night.
In addition to his acting repertoire, Alan also writes, produces and is a singer/songwriter.
Most recently Alan can be seen as the District 1 victor, Gloss, in Catching Fire; the second installment of the hugely successful Hunger Games franchise. He also portrayed the cool-but-crude Raphael in the Michael Bay produced reboot of TMNT.Good looks and cocky manner belie a surprising turn of humor and the willingness to laugh at himself. Great comic actor.- Actor

For his role as sensitive jock Dino Whitman, he was heralded as a breakout talent by the likes of Daily Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and USA Today. A more recent foray into television included a multi-episode arc on The CW's top-rated Vampire Diaries. No stranger to television, Faris has also guest-starred on such shows as Smallville, One Tree Hill, and Boston Public.

Throughout his high school years, he was active in both the drama and TV production departments.

Jesse Hutch was born in the same location as the Marvel hero Wolverine. This could be nothing more then a fun fact, however, it does not excuse why Mr. Hutch is immune to Tylenol and Novocaine(most commonly used in dental practice). He drowned when he was 19 years old. Fell from a 25 foot rock quarry while free climbing in high school. Had his stomach cut open by a barbed wire fence when he was 10, and he moved across the country(solo) when he was 21 to pursue acting. This was the first time he was ever on an airplane. Now, after 22 years of being an actor, Jesse Hutch says he is still working on his: "22 year overnight success story". You may have seen him in classics such as Freddy vs Jason or The Butterfly Effect. Maybe you saw him in the 60's as Jimmy Riley on Dick Clark's American Bandstand(American Dreams). Dark Angel, Kyle XY, Smallville, Arrow, Almost Human, Supernatural, Batwoman and Project Blue Book are but a few of his television roles. Keep an eye out for his latest roles, one being "Savage Lands", an historical fiction about Davey Crockett, Jesse plays the villain known as spike. Now over to the romantic comedy zone Jesse stars in "B&B Merry" along side actress Jen Lilly. The list goes on with Supernatural, Wu Assassins and Coffee & Kareem(theatrical release). Mr Hutch recently Directed, wrote and acted in a proof of concept for a new television series he's developing. When asked what his best role has been to date, his response: "My best role of all time is that of husband and father. I believe that giving your life for others is one of the greatest gifts you can strive for. Turns out this is also the best acting class you will ever take...life".
Keep an eye out for Mr.Hutch. His performances range from Drama, to action, to comedy and back again. We are always in a state of mystery as to what his next role will be. His ability to be extremely grounded allow depth, yet he can be funny, charming, dangerous and even scary at times. He can play many roles with utmost believability. His stunt ability is backed by a Navy Seal regiment of training. One of the unique aspects of Mr. Hutch's acting is his ability to listen. We feel this may be a lost art these days. However, Hutch commands the screen regardless of wether he is speaking or listening.
And as a final note, His social media presence is fun, genuine, respectable and real. Hutch is our favourite!!!A chameleon (and a handsome one) who can prepare for any role.
