Adrian Hough
Known for: Acting
Adrian Hough (born July 10, 1976, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian actor, voice actor, and motion capture performer of English descent, 6′ 2″ (188 cm) tall, born to British expatriate parents — his father, Michael Hough (1928–2013), was a landscape architect responsible for several heritage sites in Toronto. As a teenager he moved to the UK to train at the Drama Studio London, where he spent ten years working in theatre, film, and television before returning to Toronto in the 1990s. His ability with accents and voice landed him his first major role as the original Nightcrawler in the animated X-Men series (1992), and in 2012 he voiced and motion-captured Haytham Kenway in Assassin's Creed III, earning a BAFTA nomination. He is married to Marina Darling (since 1987, separated) and has three children. His most notable film credits include Father Bobby Malone in The Fog (2005, opposite Hal Holbrook), the Weatherman in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), a role in Underworld: Evolution (2006), Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), and Sebastian in The Assignment (2016, opposite Sigourney Weaver). On television he is best known as Mayor Jack Fife in Home Before Dark (2020, 20 episodes, Apple TV+), Lord Sak in See (2019, with Jason Momoa), the Woodcutter in Once Upon a Time (2014), King Brpxz in Supergirl (2021), and Doc in Riverdale (2021). In animation and video games he reprised Nightcrawler in X-Men '97 (2024–2026), voiced Sol Regem in The Dragon Prince (2018–2019), Alan Grant in LEGO Jurassic Park: The Unofficial Retelling (2023), and Haytham Kenway in Assassin's Creed: Rogue (2014).
