HELLO AND WELCOME
A gentle giant living by empathy, kindness, passion, and vision, SEAN GUNNELL enjoys the simple things in life, such as making french roast coffee in the morning, ocean swimming in the afternoon, and a movie at night. He also absorbs and relishes in the unusual thrills, like designing and building haunted houses, and cliff jumping from 50+ foot heights into lakes. Harmony and balance is Sean's mantra, especially regarding the importance of living instinctually and logically, both of which help him forge his career as an actor.
Sean is professionally trained for the screen and stage, and has been based in Los Angeles since 2014. His major principal screen credits have been two feature films: Drone Wars (a movie that aired on SyFy International, and is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Vudu), and Dangerous Medicine (a TV movie that premiered on the Lifetime Movie Network, and is also available on Prime, Apple TV+, and Vudu). He has leading, supporting, and featured credits in four indie features to be released in and 2022, including his first co-starring role in the crime drama Laugh Now, Cry Later. In 2017, Sean starred in the short film Collar, which has been officially selected by over 180 film and awards festivals worldwide, and of which he has been nominated for 26 Best Actor accolades, proudly winning 14 of them. Regional and local theatre credits of principal and featured roles include Private Mason in Ross Valley Players' critically acclaimed Journey's End (Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle winner for Best Ensemble), Patrick Wojtowicz in Pop Up Theatre Inc.'s original immersive production The Gypsy Machine, and Clifford Bradshaw in Simi Valley Cultural Art Center's Cabaret.
Sean trained in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University, receiving his BFA in Acting under the guidance of the School of Acting's department founder Diane Baker. He has studied stage acting and Shakespeare with Andrew Hurteau, Meisner Technique with Jim Jarrett (Sanford Meisner's last teaching protege), on-camera performance with Eduardo Rufeisen, Waris Hussein, and Todd Patrick Breaugh, Emotional Recall with Melissa Gray, audition technique with Anthony Meindl and James DuMont, and stage combat with Durand Garcia, rounding Sean out to be as adaptive, seasoned, and prepared for every stage of his craft.
In August of 2021, Sean joined SAG-AFTRA, and secured managerial representation with Torque Entertainment. His current goals include representation across the board, a guest spot on television series, and principal roles in union and indie feature films. Strategically, he is about setting intentions he can see through that are realistic to his current career standing, but he never plateaus his vision. Everything that Sean does professionally is about continually climbing up his ladder, staying in his lane, and ascending his artistic Everest, because, at the end of day, being true to himself, and forever stoking his spark of passionate madness, will forever be the fuels to his fire. Harmony and balance, the keys to Sean's kingdom. Let's play!
