Over the years dynamic and multi-faceted actor Aaron Stanford has become known for the anti-heroes, rogues, and scoundrels he has brought to life on screen. From starring in blockbuster feature films to critically acclaimed drama series, Stanford proves time and time again he can do it all. This year he will reprise his fan-favorite role as mutant John Allerdyce/Pyro in Marvel/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures' "Deadpool & Wolverine." Directed by Shawn Levy, the film follows the infamous superheroes as they team up to defeat a common enemy. Stanford made his first appearance as Pyro, the rebellious, sarcastic, and dangerous mutant who never truly finds his place amongst the other outcasts, nearly two decades ago in "X-Men 2," and "X-Men: The Last Stand." With the ability to manipulate fire, Stanford's portrayal of Pyro has been called by media one of the "unsung heroes" of the X Men universe, making his return to the big screen that much more anticipated. "Deadpool & Wolverine" will release on July 26, 2024 in theaters worldwide.

Also in film, Stanford recently appeared alongside Tommy Lee Jones, Jenna Ortega, Ben Foster and Toby Wallace in the 2024 Critics Choice Award nominated feature "Finestkind" (Paramount+). Written and directed by Brian Helgeland, the film told the story of a crew of commercial scallop fishermen who get caught up in the heroin trade. Stanford played the role of Skeemo, a fisherman whose addiction leads him to betray his shipmates.

Other notable film credits in Stanford's 20+ year career include: Spike Lee's "25th Hour", Wes Craven's iconic horror feature "The Hills Have Eyes" where Stanford played Doug Bukowski, a man fighting to save his family from a vicious band of cannibals, and "Spartan" a David Mamet film where he played the supporting role of Michael Blake opposite Val Kilmer. Stanford's breakout role was in 2002's "Tadpole"(Miramax) where he played the lead role of Oscar Grubman, a precocious prep-school kid who falls in love with his step-mother (Sigourney Weaver). The film made waves at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, earning the Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic category.

On the television front Stanford may be best known for his starring role on the critically acclaimed, drama series "12 Monkeys" (Syfy) which was based on Terry Gilliam's 1995 feature film of the same name. The show, which ran for four seasons, followed a man from the post-apocalyptic future named Cole (Stanford) who is on a mission to locate and rid the world of the source of a plague that will eventually annihilate the human race. Stanford also starred on the 2007 series "Traveler" (ABC), where he played Will Traveler opposite Viola Davis, Matt Bomer and Logan Marshall Green.

Over the years Stanford has made appearances in dozens of award winning and nominated projects, including: "Perry Mason" (HBO), "Mad Men" (AMC), "Numb3rs" (CBS), "Nikita" (CW) "Fear the Walking Dead" (AMC), and most recently "Star Trek: Picard" (Paramount+) and "Westworld"(HBO).

Originally from Massachusetts, Stanford currently resides in the Los Angeles area. An expert in his craft, he studied acting at The Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers, and at the London Academy of Theater in the UK.
