Doug was born in late May (exact day and year not known but he is a Gemini) on an Air Force Base in Dove, Delaware. He grew up in Detriot, Michigan where he went through the parochial school system. He's been an actor since he was nine, playing Max Schmidt, the head elf in "The Day Santa Lost His Beard" but his childhood dream was to become a priest. Doug attend the School of Drama at Jilliard in New York City after graduating from high school. He left there to open a world premiere of Garson Kanin's play "Time and Chance". It was with Kanin's help that Doug found an agent and began his acting career.
Doug learned to play guitar when he was younger and is also a musician. His band, The Yuh-Uh-Uh-Uhs first formed in 1981 but broke up a few years later. In 1993 the reformed in Los Angeles where their humorous, alternative style music has been featured on Dr. Demento and have a cult following of their own.
Doug made a splash in the film "Fresh Horses" (with Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy) as a sleazy college kid name O.W. Sproles. The Motion Picture Annual wrote about Doug's performance "Every now and again a supporting actor in a truly awful movie is so exceptional that it somehow makes endurable the pain involved in watching the surrounding film... if Doug Hutchison can carry a film as a minor character, one can only guess what will happen when he is given a lead." Doug's other film credits include "The Lawnmower Man" and "The Chocolate War". He's also been seen in various television shows such as "Robin's Hoods", "China Beach", "The Young Riders", "Love and War", a recurring role in "Party of Five", and of course, "The X-Files". Oddly enough, unlike the liver-eating mutant he portrayed on "The X-Files", Doug is a vegetarian. He's also played in several shows that were never picked up, "Local Heros" and "Planet Rules" are two.
Doug has a long list of theater work as well including performances with accliamed companies such as Yale Repertory, Mark Taper Forum, and Robert Redford's Sundance Institute. He won a Dramalogue Award for his portrayal of Jimmy Witteck in "The Other 5%".
