Born on August 16, 1960, in Malibu, California, Hutton is the son of actor Jim Hutton and teacher Maryline Adams Poole.

In a 1981 interview with American Film magazine, Hutton clarified that his upbringing was not as glamorous as people assumed, saying, "A lot of people think that because my father was an actor, I come from this big showbusiness background. But that's not how I grew up at all."
In 1976, at the age of 15, Hutton sought out his father and moved in with him in Los Angeles. It was during his time at Fairfax High School that he discovered his passion for acting, playing Nathan Detroit in a school production of Guys and Dolls.
Hutton's breakthrough role came in 1980 with Ordinary People, directed by Robert Redford. His portrayal of Conrad Jarrett earned him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, making him the youngest winner in that category.
In addition to his acting career, Hutton has also ventured into directing. He made his directorial debut with the 2001 film Digging to China, followed by Beautiful Girls (1996) and Just One Night (2000).
Hutton has been married twice and has three children. He has been involved with various charitable organizations, including the Starlight Children's Foundation, which helps seriously ill children and their families.
