SHANNAN WILSON
"Shannan absolutely killed it in the finale scene. People will be talking about her performance for quite some time. It was gut wrenching." Mike Walsh- writer/producer of Sno Babies
Shannan is a Texas girl at heart, enjoying outdoor activities, camping, and playing sports. Shannan also loves British humor and is extremely hard to offend. She will watch an entire episode of The Munsters and still crack up.
As far as acting goes, she is a late bloomer in the industry but has been able to play a large variety of roles in a relatively short amount of time. From an affluent Upper East Side wife to Bill Pullman in the Ryan Murphy Netflix Limited Series, HALSTON, to a blue-collar Buffalo, New York single mother in the comedic web series, MIKE IS UNEMPLOYED, Shannan has been cast to play many different characters with various accents.
She can also be seen on FBI on CBS as well as two dramatic feature films, SNO BABIES and THE RETALIATORS. The much anticipated feature film, SIGNS OF LOVE, (starring Dylan and Hopper Penn and Rosanna Arquette) premiered at the Brooklyn Film Festival where it won Best Director. Shannan plays the mother of Zoe Arquette who won Best Actress at the festival. And FINDING CHRISTMAS, in which she plays a South Philly wife to Robert Clohessey from Blue Bloods, was released theatrically December 2024. She is also in the TUBI movie, A PARTY TO DIE FOR, and plays a lead part in the short, DINNER PARTY, directed by Emmy Award winner Ritesh Gupta. She will be seen opposite Catherine Daddario in the feature, THE TRIBUTARIES, also starring Kelly Rutherford where it will be premiered at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood June 2025. And she recently worked with M. Night Shyamalan on Season 4 of SERVANT. She just filmed her role as Jo Fontaine, an aging burlesque dancer, in the short LAST LOOKS.
In addition to her burgeoning career in film and TV, Shannan has had success in modeling, commercials, print work and voiceovers. Her most recent VO work is in the opening scene in the feature, DESTINY, where she voices an uncaring foster mom. This is being released summer of 2025.
Her short film, in which she played the lead, WHEN FATHER WENT BIKING, was officially selected for numerous international film festivals.
Shannan is a published author of the book The Littlest Peanut-
an inspirational baby book for parents with preemies in the NICU.
In order to feel creative in other ways besides acting, she writes songs and plays guitar and piano. Shannan's original music can be heard on Spotify.
Her favorite quote is from the late, great Milton Berle.
"Laughter is an instant vacation".
