Shawn Barber

Growing up on the east coast, Shawn Barber enjoyed acting in musical theater throughout his childhood. As a teenager, he directed younger kids in community productions. At age 17, he landed a hosting gig on a local TV show. His credits now include film, television, theater, industrials, commercials, videos and print, as well as casting for feature films and commercials. His first big acting break was a lead role as a series regular on a dramatic series for FOX called "The Guilt," starring George Hamilton. He especially benefitted from an opportunity to work in Mexico City, where he gained extensive experience as a commercial model and actor. He's been in countless international TV commercials in Latin, Central and South America, as well as Japan, for products such as Bic, Coca-Cola, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Kleenex, and Polaroid. He recently held a national TV spot & print ad in the U.S. for Acuvue Contact Lenses. Combining his bilingual skills with impeccable comic timing, Shawn was cast in a hit Spanish sketch-comedy TV show for NBC Telemundo. His most recently completed roles are a nasty, yet comical British thief in the feature film "The Prince, the Pimp, the Jackal & the Spayed," and the Superhero Delivery Guy for Nickelodeon's "iCarly."
