Quoted from an article in Empire Weekly:
"Aged 26 - late by acting standards, Shane ditched property developing and started acting school. Shane said, "I attended Reel Scene - where real, working actors mentor students as opposed to theoretical tutors. It was important to me to understand this world from the people actually making a living in it. The mentorship I received from actors like Frank Harper (Lock Stock) and Steve North was invaluable.
From there, I became involved with the team behind the Rise of The Footsoldier franchise and starred in Rise of the Footsoldier: Marbella and Origins; I got further film work as a result. But I wanted to become a lead actor - so I chose to produce some short films as a vehicle to test my knowledge of how the machine works to produce a film, but to also test my method acting, other techniques I've picked up on my journey and take my craft to the next level".
