He is an accomplished actor, director, producer, editor, writer and musician, and is constantly striving to create and star in new and innovative projects.

At age 18, Hynes landed a plum feature film role starring alongside Andie MacDowell and Tim Roth in The Last Sign.

Shortly thereafter, Hynes captivated audiences in NBC’s “The Firm” based on John Grisham’s novel, in which he portrayed the smug and overly intelligent Ivy Leaguer Patrick Walker, who was about to stand trial for first degree murder. He also appeared in “Betty and Coretta” opposite Mary J. Blige.
