Shawn Pyform – Man’s Best Friend

Q. What are some of the recent projects that you’ve been working on?

A. Right now all I have been able to work on recently has been the show. Just because you aren’t allowed to do anything else during production. I did a movie called The Shaggy Dog and it should be coming in March and over the summer I did a movie called The Darkroom.

Q. Recently you worked on the film The Darkroom. What can you tell us about the premise of the film and your character Stanley?

A. Well, the movie is about this kid who has this step-dad that he is kind of unsure of and all of this stuff. It’s basically kind of a mystery/drama horror kind of a flick. It’s hard to explain but he’s got this step-dad that has this dark room and apparently his step father has been taking pictures of these females. Then you learn later that he has been doing stuff like that. Then there is another twist at the end.

Q. What made you want to be a part of this project?

A. It was interesting and the people that they were looking to cast I was kind of interested in working with.

Q. How was getting to work with director Michael Hurst on this film?

A. It was great, he was a lot of fun. He had an interesting way of directing. He was very down to business when it came to shooting the film but he was open to ideas to angles and shots and how to say and do certain things.

Q. You also have recently worked on the film The Shaggy Dog. How does this version compare and contrast with this beloved movie classic?

A. I really don’t know, I haven’t seen the movie classic. I keep telling myself I’m going to but I never remember to.

Q. The Shaggy Dog stars a lot of well known actors. How was getting to work alongside Tim Allen, Kristen Davis and all of these well known individuals?

A. It was really great, they were all a lot of fun. When you’re working with people like that who have a name and have been working for such a long time you kind of expect for them to at least have egos. From what I saw none of them did, all of them were really cool, really funny, they were cracking jokes all the time. It was just really great working with them.

Q. Do you have a most memorable moment from filming The Shaggy Dog?

A. It’s hard to say, I really don’t know.

Q. What are some of your passions besides acting?

A. Recently actually I’ve gotten in to painting, I’ve been painting a lot. Actually I’m about to start mountain biking with my buddy. Those are some interests of mine.

Q. What is your latest obsession? Are you into any particular sport, book, music group or activity?

A. You know I think painting really, I’ve been really interested in that. I’ve been really keeping up with it, as soon as I painted my first picture I was hooked. I ran out and bought like five canvases and started painting some more. That’s something I’ve been really in to lately.

Q. Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, what are you most thankful for this year?

A. I am thankful for friends and family that I have who have kept me grounded throughout everything and kept me really a normal, solid person.

Q. What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?

A. Thank you.
