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 is known as the voice of Ord in the PBS series, Dragon Tales, Hunk in Voltron Force, Cliffumper Downshift from Transformers: Energon 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.
