Shawn Ashmore is probably best known for his role as Bobby Drake aka Iceman in the
X-Men films, but has numerous credits to his name, including
Smallville,
Earthsea, and
Fringe to name a few.
Ashmore, who will soon be starring in the upcoming film
Mariachi Gringo, currently plays the part of Mike Weston opposite Kevin Bacon in the new series
The Following, premiering tonight on Fox.
The Following is about serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), who has cult of followers, and continues to gain more. The protagonist in the story is retired FBI Agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon), who is called back to consult with an FBI team when Carroll escapes. He is joined by new partner Mike Weston, played by Ashmore, the only one who seems to idolize Hardy and is accepting of working with him.
Ashmore recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about his new roles.
