Marty West joined the cast of the CBS daytime
drama, GUIDING LIGHT, on February 14, 2003 in
the role of Shayne Lewis, the son of Reva and
Josh Lewis. Originally from Norwalk, Conn.,
West traveled across the country to attend
college at Arizona State University. West caught
the eye of a modeling scout and soon he
appeared in several fashion campaigns,
including Abercrombie & Fitch, Levis, Oscar de
la Renta, and L.A. Looks, as well as spreads for
GQ and Maxim magazines.
Finding little creative satisfaction in modeling,
West turned his focus to acting, studying in Los
Angeles under well-known acting coach Bobbi
Chance. He has since appeared in the films
Final Exam and Austin Powers 3, and on the
television program Six Feet Under. Most
recently, West appeared in the independent
short film Rex. In his spare time, West is an avid
jogger. His birth date is October 27.
