Career[edit]
Mitchell debuted in 2007 with a recurring role on the series Aliens in America. He appeared on Arrow, The Tomorrow People, Timeless, iZombie[2] and Supernatural.[3] Mitchell also appeared in the 2018 film Scorched Earth and the Netflix original series Ginny & Georgia.[3]
In 2019, Mitchell starred in The Boys as Black Noir.[4] His severe tree nut allergy was creatively incorporated into Black Noir as a rather unique type of kryptonite for the character.
