Career
editMitchell 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 Earving / Black Noir (Noir).[4] His severe tree nut allergy was creatively incorporated into Black Noir as a rather unique type of kryptonite for the character. In one memorable scene, Queen Maeve subdues Noir with an Almond Joy bar.[5][6] In the fourth season, Mitchell also portrays a second Black Noir after the first one's death in season three, depicted as having narcolepsy in reference to Mitchell having often fallen asleep within the suit while on set as well as being unsure how the original Black Noir acted.[7]
