Wonderful Canadian actor Sean Ashmore became very popular after the release of the adventure saga "X-Men". Having played the role of Bobby Drake, Iceberg, Sean gained many fans around the world and the audience was looking forward to the second part of the franchise.
The biography of the actor and the beginning of a career
In British Columbia, twins were born into the family of a simple clerk, Rick, and housewife Linda. The elder was named Aaron, and a minute after him, Sean appeared. Ashmore began to show stage abilities in childhood. At the age of seven, the boy, along with his twin brother Aaron, took part in the performances of the Association of twins and triplets - Multiple Births Association, which, incidentally, was sponsored by their mother. No one in the family imagined what a brilliant acting future awaits Sean, but charismatic capable brothers were noticed and began to be invited to shoot commercials and small roles in films.
When the boys turned twelve, their acting paths diverged, and they began to act separately from each other. By that time, Sean had already chosen his creative path and soon took part in the filming of the cult series “Ray Bradbury Theater”. Aaron, like his twin, later also became a successful film actor. However, the brothers will still meet on the set in 2004, during the filming of The Guard of My Brother, and then in the series Smallville Mysteries. The external data of the brothers were in demand in show business. Aaron is a little taller and more athletic than his brother, he often plays negative characters, while Sean usually gets the role of good guys.
Work in the cinema
A few years later, the public spotted Sean Ashmore in the Guitarman movie. Moreover, the young Canadian actor received the prestigious Gemini Award for his work in this film. After this success, Ashmore was talked about, and his career went up. Sean began to be invited to roles in series and feature films. Real popularity came to Ashmore after the premiere of the X-Men comic book.
Sean Ashmore in the movie X-Men
In the famous movie "X-Men," Ashmore played the role of Bobby Drake, who was called Iceberg for his abilities. Bobby was one of the students of the school of mutants. The character of Sean caused a great response from the viewer. Subsequently, the actor took part in the filming of all parts of the fantastic saga and even voiced Iceberg in the animated series "Superhero Squad." For his work in the movie X-Men, Sean Ashmore received the Breakthrough of the Year award from MTV in the Best Kiss nomination.
Other movie roles
Participation in the television movie "Cadet Kelly" cemented the success and popularity of the actor. A very successful project for Ashmore was the series “Smallville Secrets”. Later, Sean got the main role in Robert Lieberman’s film “The Wizard of the Seaside” based on the story of the same name by Ursula Le Guin. Fans of cult fantasy met the film adaptation without enthusiasm, but for the actor this work became an invaluable experience.
Further career and personal life of the actor
This was followed by a series of thrillers in which the actor took part: “Solstice”, “Ruins”, “Wasteland”, “Frozen”. On the set of the movie "Frozen," Sean met his love and future wife - assistant director and producer Dana Rene Wasdin. And just two years later, Dana and Sean got married in Los Angeles. Recently, a baby appeared in their family who was named Oliver.
Actor now
The actor is not going to stop and today in his arsenal a huge number of roles in more than 50 projects. Moreover, the appearance of Sean Ashmore, like his voice, now belongs to the hero of the computer game Quantum Break Jack Joyce. Great employment on the set does not prevent the talented artist from enthusiastically making music and snowboarding, as well as spending a lot of time with his family. By the way, there’s a tattoo on the artist’s wrist that reads “Good Man Ashmore.” The same tattoo is on Aaron’s wrist. The brothers are very close and often relax and travel together.
