    About

    Jake Stormoen is an American actor best known for his commanding performances in fantasy and adventure projects. Born July 20, 1988 in Minneapolis, he has built a career around heroic roles in sword-and-sorcery settings. Stormoen is most recognized as Captain Garret Spears on Syfy's The Outpost and as the rogue Dagen in the five-film Mythica series. His work often involves period costumes and English dialects, a niche he embraces wholeheartedly. Beyond acting, Stormoen designs handcrafted silver Dungeons & Dragons dice through his company Storm Forged Dice, and has voiced characters in The Elder Scrolls Online. Fans know him as a genuine fantasy enthusiast who brings authentic passion to every role.

    Early Life & Background

    Growing up in Minneapolis, Stormoen spent his childhood lost in fantasy worlds. He played Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and World of Warcraft, painted miniatures, and spent hours sword-fighting with sticks in the woods behind his house. His father served in the US Special Forces as a Green Beret, and the family includes a younger sister, Anna.

    After high school, Stormoen studied abroad at the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, Australia, drawn by smaller class sizes and personal connections with lecturers. He earned a Bachelor of Creative Arts in 2011. His first on-screen appearance was an uncredited role in Step Up 2: The Streets (2008). He made his television debut on an episode of the sitcom Lucky Days in 2012. For six months after graduation, he worked as a waiter before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting full-time.

    Career Growth

    Stormoen's first major role came in 2014 when he was cast as Dagen, the rogue, in Arrowstorm Entertainment's Mythica: A Quest for Heroes. The film launched a five-part series, with Stormoen reprising the role in four sequels through 2016. The Mythica films found a global audience on Amazon Prime and TV syndication.

    In 2017 he joined the cast of Extinct, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama on BYUtv, as series regular Duncan. The show was canceled after one season. His breakthrough arrived in 2018 when he was cast as Captain Garret Spears on Syfy and The CW's fantasy-adventure drama The Outpost. The series ran for four seasons, concluding in 2021, and made Stormoen a recognizable face in genre television. During this period he also co-starred with Kristian Nairn in the horror thriller The Appearance (2018).

    Stormoen has expanded into voice acting, contributing to The Elder Scrolls Online as Destron and the Adoring Admirer in the Blackwood chapter. He launched Storm Forged Dice, a line of handcrafted silver D&D dice and jewelry. As of 2026, he stars in the upcoming project Seeking Persephone.

    Public Image & Style

    Stormoen is widely regarded as a true geek by fans and media outlets. His persona blends rugged heroism with genuine fantasy fandom, making him relatable to genre audiences. He often shares personal stories about his family and his love of D&D on social media. His signature look on screen involves armor, swords, and period costumes, but off-screen he presents as an approachable, down-to-earth enthusiast. No official fandom name has been established, but his followers appreciate his authentic passion for the material he performs.

    Fame & Fandom

    Jake Stormoen has cultivated a dedicated following within the fantasy and sci-fi communities, though his audience remains an organic part of the broader genre ecosystem rather than a distinct, named legion. Fans connect with him through his authentic enthusiasm for Dungeons & Dragons, sword-and-sorcery lore, and his off-screen persona as a genuine geek who shares stories about family and hobbies on social media. His interactions often center on swords, motorcycles, magic, and audiobooks, creating a relatable bridge between his rugged heroic roles and his life as a lifelong fantasy enthusiast. Despite his prominent work in *The Outpost* and the *Mythica* series, there is no official fandom name documented for his supporters, and no specific rituals or charitable drives have emerged under his banner.

    In the global landscape of celebrity influence, Jake Stormoen is currently evaluated by the iFANN Global Fame Engine but does not hold a placement in the published rankings. He is not ranked among the top 1,000 most famous people worldwide, nor does he appear on any Top-100 scope list for specific categories as of August 2026. This status reflects a career built on consistent, high-quality genre work rather than viral fame or singular mythicized moments that drive mass-market recognition. While his reputation relies on steady contributions to television and film, including upcoming projects like *Seeking Persephone*, his current standing places him outside the elite tier of globally ranked personalities.

    Interesting Facts and Legends

Growing up, Jake literally wanted to be a knight, a dream that now fuels his commanding performances in period costumes and English dialects. His passion extends beyond acting to designing handcrafted silver dice through his company, Storm Forged Dice.

    Beyond the screen, Jake took an equestrian holiday in Northern Ireland, reflecting his enduring love of horseback riding. He voiced characters in The Elder Scrolls Online, further cementing his place in gaming culture. His filmography includes notable appearances in Miracle Maker (2015), Kiss the Devil in Dark (2016), and Not in My Kingdom (2019). As of 2026, he is attached to the regency romance series Seeking Persephone, which has already been renewed for Seasons 2 and 3. Most of his career has been performed in an English dialect and period clothing, showcasing a niche he embraces wholeheartedly.

    Notable Quotes

    I literally wanted to be a Knight growing up. I was constantly out in the woods behind my house sword fighting with sticks, slaying imaginary monsters, and exploring imaginary dungeons.
    The five-part series is really quite similar to an on-screen D&D campaign: we had the tank (warrior), the healer (cleric) and the DPS (necromancer) and myself, the rogue.
    The majority of my career has been using an English dialect and wearing clothing from other centuries, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
    These are pure passion projects... it's a huge joy and a gift for me to be able to design things like this and get them out into the world.
    I get to do that for a living is it's still a pinch me moment.
