Biography Credit: Wikipedia
Aaron Stanford was born December 27th, 1976 in Westford, Massachusetts to an English professor mother and a father who works in publishing. He attended the State University of New York in Purchase, NY, but soon transferred to Rutgers University Mason Gross School of Arts. He graduated in 2000 magna cum laude.

Stanford’s first major film role was in the low-budget indie film Tadpole (2002), in which he portrays Oscar Grubman, a precocious 15-year-old with a crush on his stepmother, played by Sigourney Weaver. At the time of filming, (2000) he was 23 years old. For this performance he earned a nomination for the Golden Satellite Award. In 2001 and 2002 he appeared multiple times on the television series Third Watch as Russian teen Sergei. In the same year he was named as one of Daily Variety’s “Top Ten Actors to Watch” and included on Entertainment Weekly’s “It List”. In 2004 he appeared in Christopher Shinn’s play “Where Do We Live” at the Vineyard Theatre. Stanford also starred as Anthony LaPaglia’s son in the 2004 film Winter Solstice.

Director Bryan Singer was impressed with Stanford’s performance in Tadpole, and cast him as Pyro in the 2003 blockbuster X2, a sequel to X-Men. He continued the role in the third installment, X-Men 3, released in May 2006. Both movies are based on the Marvel Comics series X-Men. Stanford also stars in ABC’s midseason replacement Traveler, a drama about two friends who believe they are set up by their good friend (Stanford) in order to make them look like the conspirators of a terrorist attack.

Stanford appeared in the 2006 remake of Wes Craven’s, The Hills Have Eyes. He also won the “One To Watch” award at the 2006 Young Hollywood Awards. And in that same year, he starred in the New Hampshire-based comedy, Live Free or Die, playing a wannabe tough-guy criminal named John Rudgate.
