30 year old Shaun Evans hails from Liverpool. Evans completed a course with the National Youth Theatre before relocating to London at the age of eighteen to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Shaun first gained fame playing gay French teacher John Paul Keating in the tv show 'Teachers'. Many tv, film and stage roles followed. It was last years 'Dread' that first introduced me to Shaun. This project, along with 'Being Julia' were his highest profile roles to date.
Shaun, also an accomplished stage actor, appeared last year in the new Roy Smiles play Kurt and Sid, at the Trafalgar Studios, London. Shaun played Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, opposite Danny Dyer who was playing Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious.
There is very little of Shaun on the net, but I found one small site if I encourage you to give a look. It has quite a bit of info on Shaun and his career. You can find The Shaun Evans Fact File HERE:
