About Shiloh Fernandez

Born 1985. Shiloh Fernandez is an American actor, television actor, model, film actor and screenwriter.

Shiloh Fernandez (born February 26, 1985 Fernandez's father is of half Portuguese and half Russian Jewish descent, whereas his mother has British ancestry. He has a younger sister and a brother. His first acting gig was a commercial for First 5 California that was directed by Vadim Perelman. His screen debut came two years later, in 2007, when he landed the role of Edgar in Interstate before returning to TV. He landed his first recurring role in Jericho as Sean Henthorn between 2006 and 2007. The series was cancelled after just one season before a campaign by fans saw it return for a second before being cancelled once again. Fernandez was allegedly Hardwicke's first choice, but it was up to Kristen Stewart who had the last say. Shiloh later recalled on his narrowly missed opportunity, "At the time, it was just another audition. I didn't realize I was missing out on stardom and giant paychecks. Now, looking back on it, I certainly wouldn't have been mentally stable enough to deal with all that. Lucky for me, not getting that part led to other work that was a much better fit for me." Fernandez, who had no formal training, admitted being bashful around other actors during rehearsals. The role became his Hollywood movie breakthrough, making him a hot commodity. As he shot into the spotlight, he was the cover model of Nylon Guys''' March 2011 issue, introducing him as "Hollywood's New Rebel", and was the cover man for the April/May 2011 issue of Da Man magazine.

In 2013, Fernandez starred in the remake of Evil Dead and in the independent film Syrup, based on the novel of the same name by Max Barry. In March 2015, Fernandez landed a role in the Canadian thriller film Edge of Winter, starring Rossif Sutherland, Joel Kinnaman, Tom Holland, Percy Hynes-White and Rachelle Lefevre.

Personal life His favorite movie of all time is The Thing Called Love'' and River Phoenix is his idol. Fernandez has stated that if he were not acting, he would have majored in Spanish, moved to South America, and run a banana farm or worked in construction, because he is good with his hands; or, if he was better at it, a writer. Fernandez has an affinity for country music, and his dream role is to play a country music star. He is a friend of actor Thomas Dekker. "Ride" Cary Brothers
