Daniel Himschoot
Daniel Himschoot is a stunt performer, movement actor, and physical performer based in the United States. He is best known for performing as the Hyde monster — the terrifying creature transformation of Tyler Galpin — in Netflix’s hit series Wednesday. Daniel comes from a background in physical theater, stunt work, and motion capture. He studied movement and performance, often working on roles that require full-body creature acting and non-verbal storytelling.
Career highlights:
Daniel Himschoot gained wide attention for his performance in Wednesday (2022), where he physically portrayed the Hyde — a fearsome, grotesque creature born from suppressed rage and trauma. While the character is voiced and emotionally portrayed by Hunter Doohan (as Tyler Galpin), the actual movement and physical acting of the Hyde was brought to life by Himschoot. His body work and contortionist skills helped create the chilling presence that haunted Nevermore Academy.
Daniel has also worked behind the scenes in motion capture and practical creature roles for other productions (though many are uncredited or part of non-mainstream projects). His niche specialization makes him one of the rising talents in creature performance and fantasy/horror physical acting.
