SHANNON BRUCE WESTGARTH SNAITH (10 June, 1978 - Baton Rouge Louisiana) My whole family is musicians, so we were always musically inclined. It was a little bit of a no-brainer for my sister and I. In high school, we started learning how to play instruments…writing songs, doing the things we enjoyed and thought we would actually do for a living. I had always been a huge movie buff, but I never really thought that that was the life for me. At the time, my mom had moved us to LA, and I was seeing teenagers pop up in commercials, and little TV guest spots, and it was an eye-opening moment for me. It made me wonder if I could do that, and make it my own. That’s how I got into it, and it took a really long time for me to find work, and become even somewhat successful and make it a real career. It quickly became a passion of mine.

SHANE WEST APPRECIATION WEEK | 📸 Photoshoots ‘I don’t really know what my style is - we’re being styled for this, this is a lot different. I like these boots. Um, I think I was born in the South, raised in the West Coast so it’s kind of a - I do like a lot of athletics and sports kind of style, but I also like kind of the musician, hipster kind of feel of things being more form fitted. So I think in the last couple of years I’ve focused more on fitted outfits rather than baggy and kind of looks silly some times” ZOOEY Magazine Shoot Behind the Scenes Interview

SHANE WEST APPRECIATION WEEK | 🎙Interviews “If you had to save one thing in your house, what would it be? Well, the responsible answer would be my wallet, but probably my leather jacket, from All Saints, which I love. On the way out the door, that would at least make some sense. I guess my ridiculous answer, or an irresponsible answer, would be, one of the things I've always loved from The Empire Strikes Back—my Bobba Fett action figure that's still in the package. That would be worth a lot at this point. I remember buying it for 100 bucks, or something, 25 years ago. That's totally something I'd probably run back for.”

SHANE WEST APPRECIATION WEEK | 💃🏻 Appearances “We went to the [A Walk to Remember] premiere and we were kidding around, and everyone started crying. And we had no idea why. It didn’t feel that way on set. So, we were a little more shocked about that and laughed at that moment. But then realized, maybe we did make something that will resonate. My publicist at the time came and gave me the passes for the after-party, and she was bawling. She said ‘I hate you.’ We really didn’t know we had tapped into something until the premiere.”
