    • Shawn: I've always been a real fan of movies, and found out that there wasn't anything I could really do in life, so I just said, 'I might as well pretend for a living.'
    • "I kind of bounced around from school to school," said Reaves, during a recent telephone interview from Vancouver, where his new show is filmed. "I tried to get as much training as possible from all different kinds of teachers and coaches."
    • What he thinks about fame: "It's weird," he said. "You train so much on learning how to act, but you don't train with how to deal with anything. "I don't think it's something you prepare for."
