Louis Herthum, the actor/stuntman who plays Ava’s father in season 1, has said, “Once I got on stage, my fate was sealed.” While he is best known as Andy Broom on Murder, She Wrote and Peter Abernathy in Westworld, he has over 40 stage productions on his resume, including The Rainmaker, Oklahoma!, and Grease in his hometown of Baton Rouge.
Herthum told 225, “If I couldn’t find the courage to read for [The Rainmaker] part, how could I find the courage to jump off of a six-story building when I made it to Hollywood and became a stuntman?”
