18-year old Mitch Hewer, a new graduate of the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Bristol, entered acting with a bang in 2007 when he was cast a gay teenager on the teen angst drama Skins (2007-13).  After years of Thatcher-Major homophobia, Britain was becoming more gay-positive: laws prohibiting teachers from saying "gay" and public officials appearing at pride events were struck down, and Tony Blair introduced a civil partnership that gave gay couples many of the rights of heterosexuals.  There were several gay characters on British tv, but apparently a gay teenager was "highly controversial."  Mitch got  death threats, and and a guy in a nightclub attacked him with a knife.


Maxxie is a gay-stereotype dance major (which makes sense: Mitch was a dance major at the academy). During his 17 episodes, he hooks up with the down-low Tony (Nicholas Hoult),  helps him through a serious head injury

Attempts to hurt himself..









Shows his backside

Tussles with homophobic Muslim student Anwar (Dev Patel) but manages to remain his friend, then date him...

Is stalked by a female student with a crush on him.

Gets a boyfriend named James (Jack O'Connell), and they leave the series together, along with Anwar.  












Playing a gay teenager on British tv got Mitch a lot of attention.  He made the cover of Attitude in March and October 2007, and posed in Cosmopolitan in 2008 to promote testicular cancer awareness.









After Skins, Mitch starred in Brittanica High (2008-09), about students in a London drama school.  His character, Danny Miller, is straight, the focus of "all of the girls" in the school, but he eventually narrows it down to New Girl Lauren and her enemy-turned-ally Claudia. There's a gay studentl, Jez (Matthew James Thomas), but his plot arc involves reconciling with his father.  No boyfriend.

Two more straight roles followed:

In Behaving Badly (2014), Nick (Nat Wolfe) is in love with Nina (Selena Gomez), but she is dating Kevin (Austin Stowell).  But when they break up, Nick bets that he will be able to bed her before Labor Day. Mitch plays a minor character, Steven Stevens

Nightlight (2015) is a found footage movie: When Robin (a girl) refuses to go to prom with Ethan (Kyle Fain), he ends up dead and then starts picking off her four friends.  The two boys in the group are Chris (Carter Jenkins) and Ben (Mitch).


More after the break. Caution: Explicit.



Mitch returns to a gay role in Casualty (1988-2025), a General Hospital-type soap with 1300 episodes to date. In 2017, he appears as Mickey Ellisson, the gay son of a right-wing wacko.  Paramedic Jez Andrews (Lloyd Everett) encourages him to come out to his father, and he is kicked out of the house. Plus he has a deadly disease, and his brother was responsible for Louise's death.  Eventually they start dating, and after nine episodes, they leave the country, and the series together. At least they don't get buried.


That's a lot of representation for a straight guy.  Plus Mitch has an adult video online. It's hard to see, but we can tell that he's big. 


Casualt
y was Mitch's last on-screen appearance, but he has appeared on stage in pantos (Christmas plays) as Robin Hood, Aladdin, and the handsome princes in Cinderella and Snow White.   He's a "family man," married to a woman, with a child, so he does most of his work online, posting fitness tips and Skins nostalgia on Twitch.






 

And playing Fortnite
