From Iceman (X-Men) to Inner Demons: The Evolution of Actor Shawn Ashmore who is Up+Adam

April 11, 2025

On this episode of Up+Adam, Adam chats with actor Shawn Ashmore, whose face (and voice) you definitely know—even if the name doesn’t hit right away. Shawn has carved out a powerhouse career in film and television, playing everything from superheroes (X-Men, The Boys) to complex, haunted men in cult thrillers like The Following, Devil’s Gate, and Aftermath.


Now, he steps into something even darker in the brand-new horror film It Feeds, opening April 18th. He plays a father desperate to save his daughter from something no one else believes is real. It’s eerie, emotional, and beautifully twisted—and in this conversation, Shawn opens up about how fatherhood shaped his performance, how he processes fear on and off screen, and why some characters never really leave you.
