Cullen Douglas holds the distinction of being the first recipient of the Humanitas Prize's New Voices Fellowship, which awarded him a Television Development Writing Deal. A true multi-hyphenate, he's most recognized for his onscreen work in television, creating such fan favorites as "Louis Keating" on CBS' Pure Genius, "The Bird Man" on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, "Edison Po" on ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, and the "DJ" on David Lynch's Twin Peaks: The Return. He most recently recurred on HBO's Barry and guested on Showtime's I Love That For You and ABC's Station 19.
Cullen's film work includes starring roles in Lionsgate's The Black String, John Sayles' Sunshine State, Shuttle, The Possession of Michael King and Ace Ventura Jr., and the soon-to-be-released, The Bunker, opposite Tony Todd and Tobin Bell. Supporting roles include turns in The Dog Lover, Big Trouble, and Love Liza. Other memorable television work includes roles on Scandal, True Blood, Prison Break, Psych, Deadwood, ACS: Versace, Hawaii Five-0, and Apple TV+/Steven Spielberg's anthology series, Amazing Stories. He currently stars opposite Lance Reddick in Man of Fire and will next be seen in ESX Entertainment's/Warner Bros.' limited series, Casa Grande.
As a writer/director, Cullen has penned and directed a number of films, including the award-winning Portrait of a Woman at Dawn starring Scottie Thompson, Fading Scars, and the now in wide release feature documentary Billy Flanigan: The Happiest Man on Earth. Critics have hailed the doc as the feel-good film of the year. Cullen also wrote, directed, and starred in the critically acclaimed one-person play, Afraid to Look Down, which chronicled the first year of life with his oldest son, born with Down syndrome. The play had its West Coast Premiere at the HBO Workspace and then toured the country for five years, receiving the Lawton Medallion of Excellence. His recent stage work includes "George" in the 50th Anniversary Production of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Cullen has served on the Television Academy's Performer Peer Board and Actors' Equity Liaison Committee.
