Huisman was named to take over the role of Daario Naharis in the fourth season (2014) of Game of Thrones [4] The role was previously played by actor Ed Skrein.

Beginning in the second season of Orphan Black Huisman portrays the character Cal Morrison, a rugged outdoorsman who crosses paths with the clones. The season started broadcast in April 2014.

In 2014 Huisman co-starred in Wild.[5] In 2014 Huisman was also cast as the male lead in the upcoming epic romance fantasy film The Age of Adaline.[6]
