JAMES PRESTON ROGERS

James Preston Rogers (born August 2, 1972, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian actor and stunt performer. An athlete throughout high school and college, he found his path to acting after booking a national commercial audition with no headshot, resume, or agent. Before committing to acting full-time, he was signed by the WWE as a professional wrestler, but the company released him from his contract after he landed the role of Bjorn in Outlander (2008). Standing 6'6" with a hulking build, he has since built a steady career in film and television.
