Born in Amstelveen, he initially gained fame as the singer and guitarist for the Dutch band Fontane, which offered a number of film soundtracks and singles in the early 2000s before splitting.

After starting his acting career locally, he ventured into international territories with a guest appearance on the British TV series Dalziel and Pascoe in 2006. His breakthrough came when he took over the role of Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones, joining as a series regular. He's also known for starring in The Haunting of Hill House (2018), and The Flight Attendant (2020). In 2022, he made an impressive lead role portrayal in the black ops military series Echo 3. On a personal note, Huisman is wedded to Dutch actress Tara Elders and they have a daughter. He used to reside in New Orleans, Louisiana, US, but he now lives in New York City.
