Shawn Patrick Boyd

Shawn is a kid from Winona, Minnesota, forever confusing his parents by becoming a rap DJ, copywriter, screenwriter, and actor. As an actor, you can see him in Get Shorty (Epix), the upcoming Chambers (Netflix), and some indie movies you’ve never heard of.
As a screenwriter, he’s interested in what happens when people find themselves in places they don’t seem to belong. For now, Shawn belongs in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he lives with his wife, Kathleen Smith, a singer-songwriter.
