The hunky and slightly burly actor Shawn Roberts debuted onscreen in his native Canada in the early '90s, but made his first significant impression among American audiences, in Hollywood, over a decade later. After receiving prominent billing as Tyler in the direct-to-video frat-boy comedy National Lampoon's Going the Distance, Roberts played Calvin Murtaugh, the straight-faced son of Eugene Levy, in the family-oriented Steve Martin vehicle Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005). In 2007, the actor essayed two horror roles, in the pictures Skinwalkers and George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead.
