Mini biography

Shawn Robert Ashmore was born one minute after his twin brother Aaron in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada on October 7, 1979. At the tender age of seven, when their mother became apart of the Multiple Births Association in Alberta, Canada, the Ashmore twins were already in front of cameras impressing their elders. But it was Shawn that stole the hearts of many with his wonderful performance in "Guitarman" in which he played the main character at the age of 14, and was nominated for a Gemini Award. Since then, his career has skyrocketed. He has done many made-for-television movies, and series, and has guest starred on various television series, but it was his brief appearance on X-Men that landed him a role in X-Men 2 and got him a place in stardom. As an added bonus he even got his own personal action figure modeled after him.

After only three months after X-Men 2 he easily earned the very minor role of his brother's double in "My Brother's Keeper" due to come out in spring of 2004. Apart from acting, Shawn enjoys spending time with his brother, listening to music, playing guitar, and going snowboarding. His special skill is that he's fluent in French. His mother Linda who is also a twin herself, is a homemaker, while his father Rick is a manufacturing manager. Shawn has one pet, Jessica, a golden retriever, that he got when he was nine from his grandmother.
