Shayne was born in Massachusetts. One of the first gifts Shayne ever asked for was a small digital camera, on which he began filming his own short films before the age of eight. This planted the seed of an infatuation with cinema that would never die. After being raised in the small town of Mansfield, Massachusetts, Shayne packed his bags and migrated west. He moved to Los Angeles in 2011 to study writing English, literature, film, and theater at UCLA. He currently resides in Los Angeles full time as an actor and screenwriter. He landed his first film role alongside Eric Roberts at the age of 20 and made his network television debut in 2015. Soon after graduation, Shayne found employment teaching acting to children at the Los Angeles Center Studios. He was swiftly signed by some of the top agents in Los Angeles. Constantly showcasing his creative and acting talents around the city, he began consistently booking acting jobs for film and television, as well as major commercials and print work. Working on such projects gave Shayne a hunger to create more of his own. He continues to support indie filmmakers, write his own scripts, and create his own projects. He believes in authentic, soulful art with integrity, purpose, and a message.
