While the rugged charm of Virgin River often comes from its mature leads, a younger wave of actors is adding new energy to the series. From earnest teens to complex newcomers, here are the five youngest male actors shaping the future of the show.
🧢 1. Grayson Maxwell Gurnsey (Ricky)
Born: September 11, 2000
Age: 24 (as of 2025)
As sweet, small-town teen Ricky, Grayson captured hearts with his sincerity and youthful vulnerability. His coming-of-age storyline—from innocent romance to military ambitions—made him a fan favorite.
🎭 2. Kai Bradbury (Denny Cutler)
Born: January 9, 1994
Age: 31 (as of 2025)
Kai joined Virgin River as Doc’s long-lost grandson, Denny. Though technically an adult, his youthful appearance and emotional arc (from mysterious to heartbreaking) brought fresh complexity to the cast.
🎸 3. David Cubitt (Caleb – Guest Role)
Born: March 18, 1965
Age: 60
(Note: Much older, listed only for context – the main cast skews older overall.)
🧑🎓 4. Chase Petriw (Christopher Lassiter)
Born: c. 2010 (estimated)
Age: Approx. 14–15 (as of 2025)
Chase plays Paige’s young son, Christopher, in earlier seasons. Though his role is smaller, his character is central to one of the show’s most suspenseful and emotional storylines.
📺 5. New Recurring Teens (Seasons 4–5)
Several unnamed or minor recurring characters introduced as classmates or friends of Lizzie and Ricky are portrayed by actors likely in their teens or early twenties, though many are uncredited or have limited screen time.
📝 Final Word:
Virgin River may focus on adult life and mature relationships, but these younger actors bring crucial layers to the town’s fabric—from first love to family drama. As the series evolves, expect even more youth-driven subplots to unfold.
