Personal life
Carrigan grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts.[2]
Carrigan has alopecia totalis, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.[3][4][5][6] He has been working to encourage broader representation in Hollywood and advocating for greater acceptance of visible differences.[7][8] Growing up, he had only small, manageable bald spots; however, in his twenties the hair loss became more prominent.[9] Carrigan is now known for his complete lack of hair and is often typecast in villain roles.[10]
Acting career
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).[11] He followed that by portraying recurring character Victor Zsasz in Gotham[12] and main cast member NoHo Hank in Barry. He appeared as Metamorpho in Superman (2025), marking his entry into a major superhero franchise.[13] He also appeared in the horror-comedy Death of a Unicorn as Griff the butler, which was directed and written by Alex Scharfman,[14] and as Bodie Geller in the drama-comedy Adulthood which was directed by Alex Winter.[15][16]
Beyond acting, Carrigan advocates for awareness of alopecia areata, using his platform to promote individuality and acceptance in the entertainment industry.[17]
