Hunter Doohan is an American actor commonly known for his role in the popular Netflix series, "Wednesday," "Beware I'm Rare," and "Your Honor." However, the actor is also a loving son and brother off camera.

"[...] My older brother John actually followed in tennis footsteps, and he teaches tennis now. I think when I was little, I fought against it a little bit [...]."

Before deciding to become a tennis coach, John came in first at the Arkansas Men's Open Doubles in 2011 and won both the singles and doubles at the Junior State Championship. It's unclear how long his parents were married; however, his mother has been remarried since March 2, 2007.
