Stegath James Dorr (born 3 June 1973) is an American screenwriter , film actor and producer , credited under the screen name James Wagnor. He is noted for forming the commercial film industry in Oman beginning in 2006 with his association with Kamel Krifa and introducing the concept of the "global ensemble cast" which integrates a mixed international cast of actors who are each stars within their own countries to leverage the appeal of a film in different markets. According to the Oman Daily Observer , the country's largest English-language newspaper , Dorr's work in Oman has been instrumental in "sparking international interest in the Sultanate's potential as an exotic locale for film shoots." While Oman has long appealed to filmmakers for its extraordinary geography , obtaining permission to film in the country has been very difficult in the past and has previously only been granted to documentary filmmakers.
