Biographie

Is twin brother of Aaron Ashmore.

For his made-for-television movie, Cadet Kelly (2002), he had to attend military school for 3 months, also taking voice lessons to be able to project as a cadet major.

When filming Animorphs (1998) he had to pet a tiger. During one scene, the tiger jerked its head and Shawn's fingers went up its nose. Luckily, the tiger's trainer helped him escape injury.

For X-Men 2 (2003), he had to undergo physical training for 6 months with no alcohol consumption and a strict diet.

Has the letters 'GMA' tattooed on his right wrist. The letters stand for 'Good Man Ashmore', in dedication for his grandfather. His twin brother also has the same tattoo on his left wrist.

My brother and I have been in auditions where they said to our agents, "We like them both, so we're just going to flip a coin."

It doesn't get more iconic than Terry Fox.

Our first scene is sort of a reunion between the X-Men characters, which establishes everyone's relationship to one another, sort of like a recap for all those who have forgotten since the last movie.

My power is the ability to control water molecules and form them into ice.

Every day on set, there was something to watch and learn.
