Shane Edward Thompson was born on the 17th of December in 1979 and grew up in Rohnert Park, CA. At a young age Shane was diagnose with Asperger syndrome. While working though is challenges due to AD he found a way to escape though participating in school and in Boy Scout plays. Shane also found bonsai, martial arts and soccer (real football). From age 14 to 18 he would live back and forth for California and Oregon. Then he moved and stayed Salem OR. Where he attended Chemeketa Community College for psychology and glass art. After four terms Shane realized he did not want to be a psychologist. He thought about an acting career but did not have the know how or resources for that dream. For the next twelve years or so he made a living in the real world doing "real" jobs and learning all sorts of useful skill sets, but his love for acting never died. In 2015, he answered an open casting call for Grimm. Shane auditioned for the TV show and was asked to play a small role of "Commercial Crew" in Grimm. While he had no lines, the experience of being on a genuine TV set gave him the bug to do more of it. He decided to attend a class for new actors. The experience of working with like-minded people as well as the words of wisdom from his coach, cemented his desire to make acting his new life goal. He was cast again and again as his performance and professionalism was noticed. Shortly thereafter, he was asked by directors to work closely with actors as body doubles, understudies and or stand-in opportunities. These life experiences have been humbling for him. Since then, he has been inspired to write his own movies so he can share his visionary creativity to captivate audiences. He still loves to do acting as well. Shane is finally living the life path he was destined for and couldn't be happier and is grateful for the blessings he has had so far in his life journey.
