Shawn Tyrone Prince was born on December 18, 1994, in Mainz, Germany, a city with a rich history and cultural heritage. From a tender age of three, Prince began entertaining his family and friends with his natural charisma and talent. He would often tell his mother that he wanted to be on television, so that everyone could see him, but his mother, though loving and supportive, didn't take him seriously, attributing his ambition to his young age.
As Prince grew older, his passion for the performing arts only intensified. At the age of five, he was enrolled in kindergarten at the Hainerberg Elementary School in Wiesbaden, Germany, where he quickly discovered his love for the stage. He would audition for every school play, and remarkably, he landed a role every time. This early exposure to the world of acting only strengthened his resolve to become a professional actor.
At the age of nine, Prince's family was transferred to Albuquerque, New Mexico, through the military. His mother, recognizing his talent and dedication, enrolled him in acting school, where he began to hone his craft in 2005. Later that year, Prince attended the prestigious IMTA (International Modeling and Talent Association) in New York City, where he impressed over 20 agencies with his talent and charm.
Prince's early success continued to unfold as he landed a local commercial in Albuquerque and then secured a small role in the television series "Doubting Thomas" in November 2005. In February 2006, he landed a lead role in the feature film "Oranges" in Los Angeles, a project that is still in production to this day.
Throughout his journey, Prince has demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, dedication, and passion for his craft. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of following one's dreams, no matter how ambitious they may seem.
