What Drives Shane as an Actor?
Growing up, my career aspirations were constantly changing. I imagined myself in many different roles—athlete, professional wrestler, pilot, lawyer, businessman—the list goes on. Realistically, there's not enough time to live all the lives I once dreamed of. After reflecting on my interests, I was drawn to acting. Through acting, one can live countless lives and take on countless jobs. You can be the hero, the villain, or anyone in between. By exploring the different aspects of your mind—the good, the bad, and the ugly—I believe you can discover the full extent of your abilities as a human. I feel motivated because I know that through acting, I will unlock my true potential.
