Devan Chandler Long is known for his wide-ranging scope of work, currently starring as Thorfinn in the hit Network comedy GHOSTS. He recurred on the television series “The Rookie” and “Doom Patrol,” where he portrayed the DC Comics strongman superhero Flex Mentallo. Long appeared in Michael Bay’s feature film “Ambulance,” co-starring with Jake Gyllenhaal, and guest starred in the J.J. Abrams series “Duster.”

Long was raised in the small island town of Anacortes, Wash., where he grew up entertaining his peers in the classroom and on the football field. His talents earned him a full ride scholarship to play football at the University of Oregon, where he would go on to garner school records and become known for his humorous interviews and locker room antics. Given his boisterous personality and proclivity for storytelling, it wasn’t long until Long found his truth in acting. He got his first acting job on the series SHAMELESS in 2012.

Utilizing his blue-collar work ethic and stubborn determination, Long blazed a career as a multi-faceted character actor, portraying an eclectic array of characters from vicious assassins to lovable superheroes, thus escaping the stereotypical confines adopted by most actors of his physical prowess.

Long resides in Venice, Calif., with his wife, Jesse Golden, whom he married in 2020, and her son, now their son, Kaleo Golden. Long’s big brother is Rien Long, who played in the NFL for the Tennessee Titans. Long enjoys cooking, surfing, paddle tennis and prank calling his grandma with character voices (she loves it, it’s their thing).

His birthday is Aug. 31. He can be followed on Instagram and Twitter @devanclong.
