Career

Wood began his professional career in the 2010–2011 national tour of Spring Awakening as Melchoir Gabor. Between 2011 and 2012, he worked in regional theater productions of The Little Mermaid and Damn Yankees . [6] [7]

In 2013, Wood made his first television appearances with the TV movie Browsers and the TNT series Major Crimes . [8] In August of the same year, it was announced Wood had joined the cast for the second season of The CW's The Carrie Diaries as Adam Weaver in a recurring role. [9]

In 2014, Wood joined the sixth season of The Vampire Diaries in a recurring role, playing the villain Malachi "Kai" Parker. [10] He left the series in 2015 to pursue other projects [11] but returned to the role on two separate occasions.

In February 2015, Wood was cast in the pilot for the drama series Containment, portraying Jake Riley, a police officer trapped inside a quarantine zone. The series was picked up to order by The CW in May. [15] [16] Upon reading the pilot script, he said "I was just really drawn to the concept of this confined storyline. The characters are put in life-or-death situations that are very real—not every show has that element of stakes at that level." [17] The series consisted of 13 episodes, running from April 19 to July 16, 2016, with The CW confirming in May Containment would not return for a second season. [18] In that April it was also announced Wood had been cast in a 2-episode guest arc on the second season of the PBS period drama Mercy Street , reuniting with Carrie Diaries costar AnnaSophia Robb. [19]

On July 20, 2016, it was announced Wood had joined the cast of Supergirl as a series regular in an undisclosed role, [20] his fourth project with The CW. In August, executive producers confirmed he would be playing Mon-El in the show's upcoming second season. After being cast, Wood sat down with executive producer Greg Berlanti, who explained the character using musical theater references and as "a romantic sort of quietly good soul under this more frat boy exterior" [21] Wood left the series at the end of the third season in 2018. [22] [23] He would briefly reprise the role for the 100th episode,"It's a Super Life" in 2020, [24] and in 2021 for the series finale, "Kara." [25]

In 2019, Wood wrote, directed, and produced his first short film The Stew, a comedy about a toxic marriage, starring Supergirl costar Melissa Benoist as the wife and Carlos Valdes as the husband. The Stew premiered on January 26, 2019 at the Vancouver Short Film Festival. [26] [27] In August of the same year, Wood's film was selected to screen at 2019 HollyShorts Film Festival, showing on opening night. [28]

In February 2020, it was announced Wood had been cast as Leo Steadman in the pilot for Thirtysomething(else), [29] a follow up series to the ABC drama Thirtysomething.

Wood played baseball throughout his childhood until the end of high school, having considered pursuing the sport professionally at one point. He is a supporter of the New York Yankees. [42]

Advocacy

Wood is an advocate for mental health causes. After his father's passing in 2011 due to a heart disease stemming from complications exacerbated by untreated and undiagnosed mood disorders, Wood turned his attention to the stigma and lack of resources surrounding mental health he felt hindered his father receiving help sooner. [43] In 2016, he began an ambassadorship with Mental Health America, speaking at that year's annual conference. Wood has since partnered with Mental Health America on multiple occasions and served on the Board of Directors from June 2019 to 2021. [44] [45]

In October 2017, Wood founded IDONTMIND to promote open conversations on mental health, provide free education and resources, and raise funds for mental health programs. [46] [47] The first campaign launched by Wood raised $115,000 for National Alliance on Mental Illness through a line of minimalistic tee shirts bearing the organization's name. From 2018 to 2022, he ran IDONTMIND as a program of Mental Health America. [48] Wood spearheaded the "Our Future in Mind" Summit with Mental Health America in November 2021, featuring conversations with fellow advocates Rainn Wilson, Zelda Williams, Tati Gabrielle and others on mental health.
