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 New York City/Philly actress who has worked on a variety of roles, from an affluent Upper East Side wife to Bill Pullman in the Ryan Murphy Netflix Limited Series, HALSTON, to a blue-collar upstate New York single mother in the comedic web series MIKE IS UNEMPLOYED.

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".
