He is also known for playing Tyler Davies in the television series The Forgotten (2009–2010), Victor Zsasz in the Fox series Gotham (2014–2019), the robot Dennis Caleb McCoy in Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020), and Metamorpho in Superman (2025).

Personal life

[edit]

Carrigan grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts.[1]

Carrigan has alopecia totalis, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.[2][3][4][5] He has been working to encourage broader representation in Hollywood and advocating for greater acceptance of visible differences.[6][7] Growing up, he had only small, manageable bald spots; however, in his twenties the hair loss became more prominent.[8] Carrigan is now known for his complete lack of hair and is often typecast in villain roles.[9]

Acting career

[edit]

After early guest roles in series like Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Parenthood, Carrigan's first major role was as Tyler Davies in The Forgotten (2009–2010).[10] He followed that by portraying recurring character Victor Zsasz in Gotham[11] and main cast member NoHo Hank in Barry. He appeared as Metamorpho in Superman (2025), marking his entry into a major superhero franchise.[12] He also appeared in the horror-comedy Death of a Unicorn as Griff the butler, which was directed and written by Alex Scharfman,[13] and as Bodie Geller in the drama-comedy Adulthood which was directed by Alex Winter.[14][15]

Beyond acting, Carrigan advocates for awareness of alopecia areata, using his platform to promote individuality and acceptance in the entertainment industry.[16]
