Shawn Caminiti Pyfrom (born August 16, 1986) is an American actor and singer who has appeared in several television series and films. He is best known for his portrayal of Andrew Van de Kamp on ABC's Desperate Housewives and as Lionel Griff in Playhouse Disney's Stanley.
Early life
Pyfrom was born in Tampa, Florida. He is of Welsh, English, Scottish, Irish, Dutch, Italian, German, Hungarian, and French descent. "Caminiti," his middle name, is the maiden name of his mother, Gail.[1][2][3] Pyfrom has an older brother, Christopher and a younger sister, Amber.[4]
Career
He is best known for his recurring role as Andrew Van de Kamp, the son of Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross) and Rex Van de Kamp (Steven Culp) on ABC's Desperate Housewives. He played the role as a recurring guest appearance throughout the show's first season (2004–2005). After appearing in the entire second season as a supporting cast member (for which he was credited in the opening credits) and appearing in the third season and fourth season, he returned in the fifth season as a full-fledged series regular. Shawn appeared in the Walt Disney Pictures film The Shaggy Dog (2006) opposite Tim Allen and Kristin Davis and the film The Darkroom (2007) opposite Erin Foster. In 2009, Pyfrom left Desperate Housewives as a series regular but continued to make frequent guest appearances, including the final season.[5][6]
In the wake of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death in 2014 by overdose, Pyfrom admitted five-month recovery as of February 2014 from drug addiction and alcoholism.[7][8]
