Shane West was born in 1978 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Aside from catapulting to teen heart-throb status with the success of the show, West has made his mark on the big screen within such films as Liberty Heights (1999) and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003). Aside from acting, West continues the musical traditions of his family (both parents were musicians when he was young) with his band, Jonny Was, for which he writes and plays guitar.

I love Shane as Dr. Ray Barnett on "ER." I'm SO excited that he's coming back to the show to be with Neela in Season 15! Shane and Parminder Nagra have such perfect chemistry on-screen and I'd love to see more shows with them together. Of all the TV shows and movies I've watched, I've never seen two actors play off each other as well as Parminder and Shane do. (It's be such a plus if they'd get together in real life, too, wouldn't it?)

Ray and Neela should definately get their own spin-off series after "ER" is over! *fingers crossed*

Shane West is one of my personal favorites. His roles are all very convincing and he seems to have great chemistry with everyone he works with. He is very good at making things believeable and brings great emotion to everything that he does. His role in A Walk to Remember starts him out as a trouble maker but by the end he is a boy filled with passion and love. He is able to pull off both very well. His role as Ray Barnett on ER is funny, and at times parallels his A Walk to Remember role. He is a band member, that is humorous but also shows compassion.

Well, I think I can provide a little more critique here. I think Shane West is a decent actor. He certainly has not done anything spectacular with his career, but he has done well with what he has gotten. In the few romantic comedies that he has been in, I felt that his characters were almost identical. I would like to see a little more range from him.
