Ty Olsson

This man has come closer to making out with Rebecca Romijn than you ever will.

Ty Olsson (born January 28, 1974 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) is a Canadian actor and voice actor. Among his better-known roles are Sam on Men in Trees, Aaron Kelly on the re-envisioned Battlestar Galactica (which also stars Alessandro Juliani), Benny Lafitte on Supernatural, and Prince Vultan on the Sci-Fi Channel's Flash Gordon. As a voice actor, he can be heard as the voice of Ord in Dragon Tales, Hunk in Voltron Force, and Frank West in Dead Rising 4.

His most widely-seen role, however, is probably that of the hapless (and iron-filled) prison guard Mitchell Laurio in X2: X-Men United.

Notes
