Vicellous Reon Shannon (born April 11, 1971) is an American actor and producer.

Shannon also appeared in the 2006 film Annapolis.
Life[]
Shannon was born in Memphis, Tennessee[1] and raised in Orange County, California.[2] He was a promising high school baseball player until he was sidelined by a severely injured hamstring. As a result, he took an interest in acting and began taking the two-hour bus ride to Laguna Beach where he studied drama, performing chores at the facility in lieu of tuition. His breakthrough role came a few years later in the television series Dangerous Minds.[2]
He has two daughters, Sierra (b. 2000)[3] and Serena (b. 2003).[4][5]
