Biography

Shannon Bobo, Casting Director, Actor, Comic, Reiki Healer,  and Activist for Survivors of Sexual Assault.

Years ago a well meaning associate told me to pick a focus for my career.  Ironically, another dear friend mentioned “Why choose? When you can have it all!” I am still currently friends with the latter and I absolutely did not choose one single career. I want to help as many people as possible with my treasured and well earned skill set.  I have spent years working in casting as an assistant and through this knowledge I have learned the most valuable skillset…and that’s helping people cast the best version of themselves.

My intention on this planet is to support everyone in finding their voice and all the responsibilities that come with it.   All that I do encompasses supporting that mission. I trust I can support you in your intentions in many ways. My background is in TV, radio, live performance shows, live video streaming, casting, and producing. I currently work both behind the scenes as a casting professional and in front of the camera as an actor, host, and stand-up comic. I have helped cast countless on-camera commercial ads, film, and television.  Our casting company, Shannon Bobo Casting has cast everything from on camera commercials, shorts for Disney's LaunchPad Series, on Disney+, and we are currently wrapping cast on three full length feature films. I am an active member of SAG/AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. (American union representing professional performers). I am also currently a member for the LA SAG/AFTRA Sexual Harassment Committee.  I am currently writing a book called “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Forgiveness” and an advocate for finding peace through forgiveness, self-love, and healing.

I am a certified reiki healer and energy alchemist. Part of my healing work and forgiveness is through laughter and why I do stand-up comedy. I am also a lifelong ambassador for PAVE Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment, an organization that provides support and advocacy for people who are survivors of sexual trauma. My focus and purpose is to help as many people as possible find their voice and create a space for everyone to feel heard. Goal is to help and entertain as many people as possible.
