Biography

Aaron Stanford is an American actor who grew up in Westford, Massachusetts and trained at Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of Arts, graduating in 2000. His first major film role came in the indie Tadpole (2002), playing a precocious teenager, which brought him a Golden Satellite Award nomination and led Bryan Singer to cast him as Pyro in X2 (2003). He returned as Pyro in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and starred in the remake of The Hills Have Eyes (2006), winning a One To Watch award at the Young Hollywood Awards that year. On television he played Birkhoff in Nikita from 2010 to 2013 and led 12 Monkeys as James Cole from 2015 to 2018, and he later reprised Pyro in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).
