Who Does Matt Frewer Play in The Hunting Party? All About His Eerie Doctor Role & More
The Hunting Party actor Matt Frewer has a history of playing complex characters.
In The Hunting Party, the secretive prison The Pit has become the eye of the storm for chaos and high-adrenaline drama.
The team’s latest hunt involved tracking down serial killer Dr. Ezekiel Malak (Kevin Corrigan), whose disturbing obsession resulted in him killing and resuscitating his victims over and over.
After a harrowing search — which quickly escalated after he kidnapped FBI agent Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh) — they successfully captured the murderer. And instead of killing him, Dr. Malak will instead live out the rest of his life in a cell.

Now, though, there’s another doctor from The Pit who is raising some hairs: Dr. Henry Dulles. Who plays the mysterious character? Here’s everything you need to know about actor Matt Frewer and what you might recognize him from.
What movies & TV shows has Matt Frewer starred in?
The Hunting Party isn’t the first time Frewer has portrayed an ominous character. He’s notable for starring in the cult classic sci-fi film Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace.
In this sequel, which is based on a Steven Spielberg story, he plays the lead role of Jobe Smith. A normal man with a learning disability, an experiment transforms him into an egocentric mastermind who can enter and exit a state of virtual reality. He plots a way to become a being of pure energy and eventually succeeds.
Speaking of sci-fi, Frewer’s longest-running TV role to date was in PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal. He starred as Matt Prater, an indecisive case manager who assists the team in handling paranormal cases. Introduced in the second season, his character dies from a virus in mid-Season 4.
His additional acting credits include reoccurring roles in Perry Mason and Fear the Walking Dead. He’s also dabbled in voice acting work, having voiced multiple characters in The Incredible Hulk.
Is Matt Frewer’s character a villain in The Hunting Party?
In The Hunting Party Season 1, Episode 4, “Doctor Ezekiel Malak,” Dr. Henry Dulles makes his on-screen debut as the first person that serial killer Dr. Malak sees when he’s brought back to life.
The scene quickly cuts to former The Pit prison guard Shane Florence (Josh McKenzie), who's looking down at a picture of doctors, one of whom appears to be the younger version of Dr. Dulles.
A shocking reveal at the end of the episode arises when Shane goes to a senior living facility. He’s going to go visit his dad, and to the audience’s surprise, his father happens to be Dr. Dulles.
The doctor portrays himself as a senile man, giving Shane (and audiences) the impression that he’s a weak old man. But he once was spending his time at The Pit instead of the senior home... so what's the truth?
What are Dr. Dulles’ plans at the prison and why is he keeping them and his real whereabouts a secret?
Catch new episodes of The Hunting Party when they premiere on Monday on NBC at 10/9c. Episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.
