In the entertainment
industry, there are very few actors who make a long lasting dent within the
industry. Shevalier Shehantha, an incredible actor from Ratnapura, Sri
Lanka who has achieved performing arts diplomas from some of London, England's
great acting institutions such as LAMDA, Trinity Guildhall College London and
London College of Music and Media (a faculty of Thames Valley University), has
taken the entertainment industry by storm. There's no role or character he
couldn't play and his list of skills are endless. He's received training from
both sides of the Atlantic from UK as well as USA. He received a Bachelors
degree double majoring in International Business and Management from Northwood
University, Michigan. Shevalier has nurtured his craft at many prestigious
establishments like the South Coast Repertory, where he enrolled in the
actor intensive program in 2013. He trained with the likes of Joanne DeNaut
CSA, Karen Hensel, Hal London Jr, and Greg
Atkins to name a few.
Shevalier has also had training in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in LA, which was a 2 year conservatory for film, TV, and stage back in 2012 to 2013. He won the Michael Thoma award by the faculty for showing the most amount of growth as an actor and an artist. Shevalier also has two Licentiates and two Fellowship diplomas from the London College of Music and Media. He also has a wide variety of interests apart from acting like: swimming, breeding ornamental fish, and badminton while he also trained in archery back home. He also plays cricket, is trained in basic armed and unarmed stage combat, and is a fire breather. Shevalier is an excellent swimmer both in fresh water and in deep sea. He is truly a talent in so many ways and had the ability to combine them all and enhance his acting abilities. With a great actor like Shevalier, a director doesn't need to look anywhere else for inspiration, as long as he's present.
