In 2010 he said goodbye to his regular role as Joey in the hit series Big Love to portray the brilliant, charismatic and egocentric Balagan in Endgame.

He starred opposite 'Mary-Louise Parker' in the CBC/BBC movie The Robber Bride, which garnered him a Gemini Award for Outstanding Male Performance In A Dramatic Program Or Miniseries. Other Canadian television credits include the CBC miniseries Guns, and The City. He will soon be starring as the Father of Canadian Confederation John A. Macdonald in the movie "The Rivals".

On stage, Shawn has performed in a long list of plays, both contemporary and classical. His most recent outing in 'Carol Churchill's "A Number" earned him the 2006 Dora (Canadian Tony) Award for Outstanding Male Performance.
