Early Life and Education

As an only child, he was immersed in the arts from a young age, beginning acting at age two in short films. He grew up in a creative household, exposed to film sets and artistic communities in Newfoundland.

Details about his formal education are limited, but he completed high school in Canada before pursuing acting full-time. His ethnicity is Canadian, and his religion is unknown.

Career

Percy Hynes White began his career with minor roles in short films in St. John’s, debuting in Down to the Dirt (2008) at age seven. He gained early recognition with supporting roles in films like The Grand Seduction (2013) alongside Brendan Gleeson and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) with Ben Stiller.

His television career took off with roles as Simon Brooks in Murdoch Mysteries (2014–2015, 11 episodes) and Harrison in Between (2015–2016, 12 episodes).

His breakout role came as Andy Strucker, a mutant, in Fox’s The Gifted (2017–2019, 29 episodes), which significantly raised his profile. In 2022, White starred as Xavier Thorpe, a psychic artist and potential love interest for Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), in Netflix’s Wednesday Season 1.

His performance was praised for its depth, with CBC describing him as a “broody” and “suspicious” character. However, he did not return for Season 2 (2025), with his character’s absence explained by a transfer to Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland.

This followed allegations of sexual misconduct made in January 2023 on a now-deleted X post, which he denied in June 2023 as a “campaign of misinformation” that led to doxxing and threats against his family and friends (Variety). Neither White nor Netflix officially cited the allegations as the reason for his exit.

Recent projects include starring as Max in the romantic drama Winter Spring Summer or Fall (2024) alongside Jenna Ortega, and roles in I Like Movies (2022), My Old Ass (2024), and the upcoming horror film Whistle with Dafne Keen and Sophie Nélisse. White’s ability to portray complex, emotional characters has earned him critical acclaim, with Collider noting his significant presence in Wednesday Season 1.
