6. Shane’s alternate stage names were Shane Zwiener and Shane Zwiner, but now he’s sticking with Coffey as his last name. Thank goodness because we don’t know how to pronounce the other two.

7. Recognize Shane from somewhere? That’s probably because he played Jimmy Nash on The Secret Life of the American Teenager. His character dated Shailene Woodley‘s character briefly until he found a condom in her purse which freaked him out.

Shane,
I am not sure if you will ever read this. If you do, I just want you to know how proud of you I am. Remember I always said if you got famous I would show all the videos I have of you in class. I still have them. I always knew you would make it some day. Way to go.
