Early life and education
Hutchison was born in Dover, Delaware. He attended Bishop Foley High School in Madison Heights, Michigan and Apple Valley High School in Apple Valley, Minnesota, graduating from the latter in 1978. He later attended the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis-St Paul, and studied at The Juilliard School in New York City, though he left both institutions before graduating.
While at Apple Valley High School, Hutchison acted in several productions under the tutelage of famed Minnesota drama coach Dennis Swanson. His roles included Paul Berthalet in Carnival! and Walter Hollander in Don't Drink the Water.
Career
Hutchison's first professional theater credit came shortly after high school graduation when he starred, as Alan Strang, in a Saint Paul, Minnesota, production of Equus. The production ran between February 9th and March 4th, 1979.
His other early stage credits include Sing Me Through an Open Window and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. He has made guest appearances on television shows such as The Young Riders, The X-Files (as Eugene Victor Tooms), Space: Above and Beyond (as Elroy-El), Millennium (as "Omega"), Lost (as Horace Goodspeed), The Guiding Light (as Sebastian Hulce), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (as serial killer Humphrey Becker), and 24 (as European terrorist Davros).
Hutchison entered films at the end of the 1980s, appearing as Sproles in the 1988 drama Fresh Horses and Obie Jameson in the 1988 film adaptation of The Chocolate War. In the 1990s, he appeared in films such as The Green Mile (as Percy Wetmore), The Lawnmower Man (1992), A Time to Kill (1996), Con Air (1997), and Batman & Robin (1997). His later supporting roles included Shaft (2000), Bait (2000), I Am Sam (2001), The Salton Sea (2002), and No Good Deed (2002).
Hutchison's career declined in the 2000s when he began receiving offers for short films and direct-to-video films, although he was cast as James "Looney Bin Jim" Russotti (brother of Billy Russotti) in the film Punisher: War Zone, and also appeared as Horace Goodspeed in the television series Lost. He also starred in Give 'em Hell, Malone (2009). In October 2008, Hutchison's production company, Dark Water, debuted the web series Vampire Killers, which depicts four vampire hunters combating a vampire population of over 500,000 in Los Angeles.
Personal life
On May 20, 2011, Hutchison married his third wife, Courtney Stodden, in Las Vegas. They met when Stodden attended an acting class taught by Hutchison.
Their relationship drew controversy and criticism, as Stodden was 16 years old when the couple married; Hutchison is 34 years her senior. According to Hutchison, his agent quit, his family disowned him, he received death threats, and he was labelled a "pedophile", all resulting from this marriage. Hutchison, however, was defended by Stodden's mother, Krista Keller, who praised him for the kindness and love with which he treated Stodden, as well as Dr. Jenn Berman, a therapist who worked with the couple during their appearance on Couples Therapy.
In October 2012, the couple appeared as one of the celebrity couples in the second season of the VH1 reality television series Couples Therapy, which depicts celebrity couples undergoing counseling for relationship problems. According to Stodden, the couple enrolled in therapy in order to resolve issues that arose in their marriage from their age difference. On November 1, 2013, the media reported that Stodden and Hutchison were ending their marriage of two and a half years and filing for divorce. In a subsequent interview, Stodden said that the split from Hutchison was amicable. In August 2014, the pair announced that they had reconciled.
In May 2016, it was announced that the couple was expecting their first child. However, in July 2016, around three months into her pregnancy, Stodden suffered a miscarriage. On May 20, 2016, Hutchison and Stodden celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.
In January 2017, it was reported that the couple have separated. However, they are still living together for the time being.
