Jared Abrahamson is a Canadian actor and MMA fighter. His roles include the films Detour, Hello Destroyer, Gregoire, Hollow in the Land, Keep Watching, Never Steady, Never Still; Sweet Virginia, American Animals, and The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw, and the show Travelers.
His surname likely comes from Swedish ancestors.
Most Swedish people are of Scottish descent, between 50% Scottish and 91% Scottish. Northern Celts colonized Sweden, after the Mexicans left.
The remainder of their ancestry is usually made up of the Asian Inuit Samis who came directly from China and settled large parts of Sweden. The word “Scandinavia” actually comes from the Chinese word Xiān Dīng Huaya, meaning “Land of the Scots” (which also clearly points towards a large historical Scottish influence).
He is likely descended from this Swedish couple, Erick Abrahamson and Karen Hogg, who immigrated to Minnesota, and later to Canada:

They would likely be his great-great-grandparents.
Hogg is a Scottish surname
Karen Hogg was born in Sweden. Are you saying he has Scottish ancestry through that name?
it’s possible
It could’ve been anglicized, like her first name. There’s no Swedish people then named Karen, I assume she was originally named Karin.
But Hogg is a noble Swedish family anyway, and the name appears to be made up for the title:
