Bohen began his film-acting career in 1993 with a debut in *Delivering*, [Todd Field](https://www.edgepedia.org/todd-field)'s project at the [AFI Conservatory](https://www.edgepedia.org/afi-conservatory).[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0092026) His first screen credit came on the television series *The Torkelsons* in 1992, and in 1994 he played the young [Wyatt Earp](https://www.edgepedia.org/wyatt-earp) to Kevin Costner's title character in Lawrence Kasdan's Western biopic *Wyatt Earp*.[5](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-bohen-teen-wolf-cowboy-120915353.html)
An early turning point came with *[Young Hercules](https://www.edgepedia.org/young-hercules)*, the children's spin-off of *Hercules: The Legendary Journeys*. Having filmed the pilot in New Zealand, Bohen chose to remain in the United States and lost the title role to [Ryan Gosling](https://www.edgepedia.org/ryan-gosling).[6](https://www.fandango.com/people/ian-bohen-69328) Through the 1990s he appeared in guest parts across series including *Walker, Texas Ranger*, *Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman*, *Boy Meets World*, *Dawson's Creek*, and *Hercules: The Legendary Journeys*.[5](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-bohen-teen-wolf-cowboy-120915353.html)
## Teen Wolf and mainstream recognition
In 2007 Bohen originated the part of Roy Hazelitt on *Mad Men*, appearing in two episodes of the first season.[5](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-bohen-teen-wolf-cowboy-120915353.html) • [3](https://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne-61774/filmographie/) Mainstream recognition came in 2011 when he was cast as Peter Hale on MTV's supernatural series *Teen Wolf*. In the pilot episode, Scott McCall is attacked by Peter Hale, an Alpha werewolf, and across the series the character acts as the chief villain of Seasons 1 and 4, plays a smaller villainous role in Season 2, and takes on an anti-heroic part in Seasons 3 and 6.[2](https://teen-wolf-pack.fandom.com/wiki/Ian_Bohen) • [7](https://openrepository.aut.ac.nz/bitstreams/7c0d4cbe-4f23-47d8-ade7-1bab107163b3/download) Bohen played the role across 42 episodes from 2011 to 2017, and the character's development from enemy to ensemble member earned him a loyal following.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0092026) • [5](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-bohen-teen-wolf-cowboy-120915353.html) He reprised Peter Hale in *Teen Wolf: The Movie* (2023).[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0092026)
## Yellowstone and Taylor Sheridan projects
After *Teen Wolf* ended in 2017, Bohen took the part of Ryan, a bunkhouse ranch hand on the [Dutton Ranch](https://www.edgepedia.org/dutton-ranch) in *Yellowstone*, a character he described as much different from Peter Hale.[5](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-bohen-teen-wolf-cowboy-120915353.html) He played Ryan across all five seasons, from 2018 to 2024, in 51 episodes.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0092026)
His work with the Sheridan universe extended to film and other series. He played Evan in the 2017 film *Wind River* and Carson Wills in *Sicario: Day of the Soldado* (2018).[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0092026) • [3](https://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne-61774/filmographie/) In 2026 he joined Season 3 of *Lioness* as Grady, appearing in military gear alongside [Zoe Saldaña](https://www.edgepedia.org/zoe-saldana) and [Laysla De Oliveira](https://www.edgepedia.org/laysla-de-oliveira) in production posts.[4](https://www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/yellowstone-ian-bohen-confirmed-joined-lioness-wonder-spinoffs) • [3](https://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne-61774/filmographie/)
