Shane Billings is a writer, actor, Navy brat mostly from Modesto, California. He does not own a microwave.

At an early age, what began as recreational note-passing and journaling led to more serious habits like drama clubs, improv and sketch comedy.

After graduating from UCLA Shane spent a year teaching in Kyoto, Japan, before earning an MFA in screenwriting at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Some of Shane’s online work includes an advice column for Everyone Is Gay (a resource for LGBTQ+ youth), and pieces for DTLA Weekly Magazine and Warm Bros Magazine. More of his little stories live on Substack.

Shane has worked on series such as Transparent (Amazon Studios), The Muppets (ABC Studios), and AWAY (Netflix). For the last six years Shane has worked in development with a showrunner at Universal Television.
