Shane West was
born on June 10, 1978 in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. Shane's acting
career truly took off when he
made his acting debut in the starring
role as Angel in the Mark Taper
Forum's production of "The
Cider House Rules." He has
received tremendous critical praise
for the performance. He began
his career by playing roles in
a number of hit television series,
including "Buffy The Vampire
Slayer," "Sliders"
and "Picket Fences."
He quickly worked
his way up the television ladder
to series regular on the surprise
hit ABC drama "Once and Again".
His big break came when he accepted
the role of Landon in "A
Walk To Remember" based on
Nicholas Sparks novel along side
Mandy Moore. Although the film
brought Shane the stardom most
celebrities work hard to achieve,
he is trying hard to steer away
from teen roles.
Besides acting
Shane also plays lead guitar and
writes most of the music and lyrics
for his own band, "Jonny
Was" formerly know as "Average
Jo."
