Shaun Evans, a talented English actor, was born on March 6, 1980, in Liverpool. Before embarking on his acting career, he completed a course with the National Youth Theatre and later relocated to London at the age of eighteen to study at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Evans' early success came when he landed the role of gay French teacher John Paul Keating in the Channel 4 comedy-drama Teachers during its second series in 2002. The following year, he made his feature film debut in The Boys from County Clare, starring alongside notable actors such as Bernard Hill, Colm Meaney, and Andrea Corr.
Throughout his career, Evans has accumulated a wide range of screen credits, including Being Julia, The Situation, Cashback, Gone, Boy A, Telstar, Princess Ka'iulani, and Clive Barker's horror film, Dread. His television appearances have been equally impressive, with notable roles in the 2002 docudrama The Project, the miniseries The Virgin Queen, and the four-part drama The Take, based on the novel by Martina Cole.
Evans has also made a name for himself on stage, having starred in a UK tour of the award-winning play Blue/Orange by Joe Penhall. Recent television appearances include Murder City, BBC's Ashes to Ashes, Gentley's Last Stand, and Sparkle, alongside Bob Hoskins and Stockard Channing.
In his most recent endeavor, Evans has just finished appearing in the new Roy Smiles play Kurt and Sid, at the Trafalgar Studios in London, playing the role of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain opposite Danny Dyer, who played Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious.
