English actor Shaun Evans has come into the limelight thanks to his role as crack detective Endeavor Morse in the ITV drama series Effort. Evans won critical praise for her effortless portrayal of the role. After starting his professional career in 2002, Shaun had to pay his dues for a decade before experiencing his breakthrough in 2012. Here’s a look at his journey so far, as well as other aspects of his life beyond the acting profession.
Shaun Francis Evandi was born on March 6, 1980, in Liverpool, England to Irish parents. Evans grew up in a middle-class family – his father was a taxi driver while his mother worked in healthcare at a hospital. He was raised alongside his older brother who is barely a year older than him.
Shawn Evans may have discovered early in his life that he wanted an acting career. On scholarship, he attended Merseyside’s Catholic school, St. Edward’s College, in 1991 and graduated in 1998. As Evans described to Express in 2016, his college was “very academic but very musical”. Initially, he wanted to pursue a career in history and politics, but his love of acting led him to complete a course at the National Youth Theatre. Evans, then 18, moved to London to enroll at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
In London, Shaun Evans had a handful of roles in plays before television roles started to come through. Some of his early TV shows were; Channel 4 comedy-drama Teachers where he portrayed a gay French teacher, docudrama The Project and miniseries The Virgin Queen
His feature debut was the 2002 comedy-drama, The Boys from County Clare. Evans would come to score roles in other movies like; Being Julia, The Situation, Cashback, Gone, Boy A, Telstar: The Joe Meek Story, and more.
Evans juggled television roles, film roles, and theater roles. In theatre, he had a role in the award-winning play Blue/Orange by Joe Penhall. He played Kurt Cobain in the Roy Smiles play Kurt and Sid and also starred in Peter Souter’s play Hello Goodbye. Some of his other notable TV shows include; BBC Ashes to Ashes and Silk; The Take and ITV’s The Last Weekend
Evans’ career received a boost after his appointment as a young Inspector Morse in Endeavour. Apart from acting, Shawn Evans also has interests in directing. He directed several episodes of the BBC medical drama, Victim. When Evans isn’t acting or directing, he enjoys writing.
Shaun Evans is not one to reveal his personal life online for the world to see. He is quite enigmatic in real life, keeping no Facebook or Twitter accounts. Her personal life is just a mystery to her thousands of fans. Evans’ scenes from his hit show Endeavor have included a handful of romantic scenes and fans can’t help but wonder what his romantic life might look like.
Well, we know that, in 2003, Evans started a romantic relationship with actress and singer Andrea Corr whom he met on the set of The Boys from County Clare, an Irish comedy-drama about a ceili band. of Liverpool. It was Shaun’s first film.
While Evans was something of a newbie in the industry, Corr had a great experience having started her career in 1990. She is best known for being the lead singer of Celtic folk rock and pop rock band The Corrs. The group includes his three older brothers, Caroline, Sharon and Jim. Corr also pursued a solo career.
Sadly, their relationship only lasted four years after they split in 2007. As the intimate Shaun shows, the details of their breakup remain unknown to the media. Corr would go on to marry stockbroker Brett Desmond in 2009. The couple are now parents of two children; his daughter Jean was born on April 28, 2012 and his son Brett Jr. was born on January 4, 2014.
Since Shaun’s breakup with Corr, the media hasn’t been told anything about his romantic life. So we can’t say for sure if the Endeavor star is in a relationship.
