# JR Bourne

David Bourne (born April 8, 1970), known professionally as JR Bourne, is a Canadian actor. After appearing in many films and television series, Bourne's first major breakthrough was the Showtime series Stargate SG-1 (1998–2000). He achieved further prominence for his role as Chris Argent in the MTV supernatural series Teen Wolf (2011–2017)

## Early life

Bourne was born on April 8, 1970, in Toronto, Ontario, and grew up in Barbados. He has an older sister. He had an interest in acting since the age of 10 but it was not until he was around the age of 24 that he realized that it would be a way for him to make a living.

## Career

Bourne first appeared in the action film Jungleground (1995). He subsequently appeared in many television series. His first major television role was as Martouf / Lantash on the Showtime science fiction adventure Stargate SG-1 (1998–2000).
Bourne has won two Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Canadian Film: for On the Corner in 2004 and Everything's Gone Green in 2007. He also received nominations for Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Feature Length Drama for both films at the Leo Awards. In the following year, he was cast as CIA agent Edwards on the science fiction drama Fringe (2009–2011). Bourne then appeared in the second season of the ABC series Revenge.
He portrayed Chris Argent on all six seasons of the supernatural drama series Teen Wolf (2011–2017) and was part of the main cast in the final season. Bourne has also appeared as a series regular on the mystery drama Somewhere Between (2017), and science fiction drama The 100 (2019–2020).
In September 2021, it was announced that a reunion film for 2011 Teen Wolf television series had been ordered by Paramount+, with Jeff Davis returning as a screenwriter and executive producer for the film. The majority of the original cast members, including Bourne, reprised their roles. The film was released on January 26, 2023.

## Charity work

Bourne's niece was born with the genetic disorder cystic fibrosis, and he has long been a champion of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In an interview with MTV News, Bourne revealed that he had come to realize back when he had first started doing conventions for Teen Wolf how amazing of a platform it provided to raise money and awareness for the foundation.
