About Shannon K. Dunn

Shannon is best known for her comedic roles and she loves to perform character parts!She was thrilled to be cast in a feature film, "Decay" as the Neighborhood Gossip and was cast as the Viking Opera Singer in a National Coke Zero commercial. She just completed filming a movie where she plays a mom and she secured a role as a series regular in a drama TV pilot as well! One of her favorite roles was playing a smoking/drinking/cursing white trash chick for the short, "The Unmentionables" -- filmed in B&W on actual 16MM film!Always a writer (she is an actor first) -- she has also sold 1 feature and 3 short films and has optioned three of her Christmas themed feature films (co-written with Tony Jerris). She is currently negotiating to publish the book she wrote, "Red Flags" about her bad/funny/odd/unbelievable internet dates (it's also a TV sit-com pilot that placed as a Quarterfinalist in the Page Turner Comedy Competition 2021). Most of the scripts she writes are simply to "Ben and Matt" herself by writing supporting character roles specifically for her (usually not the lead). She finds playing characters is the most fun and allows for more creative expression. Although comedy is her first love, two of the scripts she has sold have been dramas!Tony and Shannon were hired to write the movie, "Deadly Stage Mom" -- based on true events -- and wrote one of the roles specifically for Shannon. It is a great story that is perfect for a campy Lifetime Movie!"Writing means I am constantly editing/revising. It's never perfect and I don't think I want anything to be absolutely perfect to be honest. Giving actors the freedom to improvise with my dialogue is awesome as long as they don't screw up the beats (for comedy) but get the words to come across naturally."Shannon currently splits her time between her homes in California and Colorado....
