Life and career

Bohen began his film-acting career in 1993, making his debut in Todd Field's AFI Conservatory project, Delivering.[1] He followed this with a turn as "Young Earp" to Kevin Costner's "Wyatt," in Lawrence Kasdan's 1994 Oscar nominated film, Wyatt Earp.[2]
In 1997, Bohen landed the role of Young Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Bohen recurred in flashbacks as the young hero during the series[citation needed] A spin-off of the popular show was made into a TV movie, Young Hercules. Ian Bohen starred in the production, appearing again as Hercules in his formative years, but Bohen declined to return to the role for the weekly children's TV series that was commissioned as a result, as he was unwilling to move to New Zealand full-time.[3]
From 1998-2001, Bohen appeared in ten episodes of Any Day Now as Johnny O'Brien.[citation needed]
Bohen appeared in season one of Mad Men as the beatnik character of Roy Hazelitt, the man who fell in love with one of Don Draper's many women, Midge Daniels.[4]
Currently, Bohen has a recurring role in MTV's Teen Wolf portraying Peter Hale, the main antagonist of the first season and the former enemy of protagonist, Scott McCall. His character was resurrected towards the end of Season 2 and he remains as a recurring character in seasons 3 and 4 of the show. He returned to the series in the sixth and final season.[5]

In January 2017, Bohen was cast in the upcoming film Soldado, the sequel of the 2015 film Sicario, directed by Denis Villeneuve.
On June 8, 2017, Bohen had been cast in an upcoming film Little Women, the modern adaption of Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name and it will be written and directed by Clare Niederpruem who will be making her directorial debut. The film will also star Lea Thompson, Lucas Grabeel and Sarah Davenport. Bohen will portray Freddy Bhaer, a German professor who strikes up a friendship with Jo March (played by Davenport) and critiques her writing, urging her to become a serious writer and challenging her intellectually. The film will be released in 2018 to coincide with the book's 150th anniversary publishing date.[6]
On August 14, 2017, Bohen was cast in a recurring role in an upcoming Paramount Network's straight-to-series period drama Yellowstone, where the show will star Kevin Costner. Taylor Sheridan will be the writer and executive producer of the television series. Yellowstone follows the Dutton family, led by John Dutton (Costner), who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders-land developers, an Indian reservation, and America's first National Park. Bohen is set to portray as Ryan, a Cowboy wrangler. Yellowstone is set to premier in 2018.[7]

Activism
Bohen is a vocal advocate for LGBT equality. When asked about working on Teen Wolf, a show renowned for its depiction of LGBT characters, Bohen said he was "honoured" to be part of a show that "presents and inclusive world" and that "LGBT equality is one of the biggest causes I support, and the thought of bullying someone because of who they are, who they love, or because they’re not sure is horrifying to me. So if we can bring some visibility to young gay people, I’m beyond thrilled and I’m happy to stand with [LGBT people]. I know them. I work with them. They are my best friends and they deserve the same equal treatment as every other human being. If we can highlight that on TV, then all the better. Equality is coming and it can’t be stopped."[8].
