DOCTOR WHOA
Published: July 6, 2005

Shane West is winning hearts the world over as ER's latest hunk

Big spunk Shane West is sending temperatures soaring in the emergency room at Chicago's County General Hospital as laid-back young intern Ray Barnett. The actor juggles his time saving lives on set with playing in his band, Jonny Was.

Were you nervous about playing a doctor?
I was very intimidated coming into this. And I remember the first thing I told my manager when they said, "Here's the deal, here's the offer. This is what you have to do," was, "I don't know. Have you seen them speak on the show? Have you seen that dialogue?" I was always an English/history guy, not a maths/science person. So I was very worried that I might not be able to do that.

How will you juggle your band, Jonny Was, with ER?
I'm not coming to work on Saturday on ER. And those are the best days to perform. It's a bigger crowd. I'm in this buisness as well as in a band because I like to do both. And as long as I can do both, I'm going to continue to do both.

Why did you choose to be a full-time actor and not a full-time muso?
My parents are musicians and I grew up with that. And that's probably where I thought I might be. But I think I chose acting to have something of my own that nobody else in my family has done.

Are you the new George Clooney?
He did a great job. He is a great actor. And he had a cool character. Ray is not the same character as his was, but they have similarities and I have modelled some of how I act off him as well. I think I'm a little bit more abrasive!

----------

Did you know?
Shane wears a St Christopher medal around his neck. St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers.
Shane's real name is Shannon Bruce Snaith. He changed it to Shane because he didn't want to have a girl's name!
Shane has a tattoo of a Celtic Gemini insignia between his left shoulderblades.

----------

5 pictures as well: One full page poster of Shane, two of him in that red shirt, one of him playing in his band, Jonny Was, and one of him, Jane, Neela and Pratt.

I don't mind if Gates is a bump in Ray and Neela's road; it means they get to run him over. :P
