This one I read through in two hours. Then I re-read it. I said, 'OK, I've got to read ("The Sixteenth Round"). There's a Hurricane song (Bob Dylan's "Hurricane") I never heard. I've got to get that.' I'm getting all these things and thinking, 'Wow, all this- stuff happened and they're just NOW telling his story?' "After reading the book I felt the same way Lesra did. I thought, 'Whoa, what's going on?' So, I felt a lot of passion about the story. You can't write anything better than this. It's just great. The movie is about hope. It's about love. It's about faith. Just because someone can't read or write, you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. That's where hope comes in. I remember talking to a sin­ gle mother who saw the movie and she told me, 'Watching the SAVE movie inspired me to talk to my son, to help him and to make sure he gets everything he needs: It really.moved me.' It shows a posi­ tive side of African-Americans." $10 Shannon conferred often with the real-life Martin and also met Carter on several occasions. In fact, Shannon, Martin, Carter, Washington and others involved in the film dined together a few times before, during and after the film went before the camera. Shannon was struck each time he met Carter by the man's serenity. "With everything that happened to him you would think he'd be bit­ ter, upset, have a chip on his shoulder," Shannon says. "But he's sweet, gentle and full of knowledge. He's still giving. I'm looking at him and I said, 'Aren't you mad about what happened? You were in jail for 22 years.' He said, 'I'm out now. I don't want to shake things up.' Hate put him in prison and love busted him out. That's why that line in the film is s9 important." Shannon was born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in California, mostly in Anaheim. At age 20 he decided to give acting a shot and hopped on a bus to Hollywood. He found an agent, took acting lessons and soon thereafter appeared in TV commercials and made guest spots on such shows as "NYPD Blue," "Moesha," "Chicago Hope" and "Party of Five." He was also a regular in the short-lived series "Dangerous Minds" and turned up in such films as "The Mighty Ducks 2" and "Can't Hardly Wait." "Acting is therapy," says Shannon, who just completed produc­ tion on an upcoming TNT movie entitled "Freedom Song," which TEXTBOOKS ONLINE.

"You're able to act out your anger. • You're able to act out emotions that you normally can't, which .FREE SHIPPING!* aren't politically correct to do (in public). If you're mad at some­ ·FOR 910 OFF** ENTER CODE #&50913 AT PURCHASE CHECKOUT . thing, you have to suppress a lot of it. Acting lets me put it out there." When he's not putting it out there, Shannon can usually be found at home with his wife, an aspiring chef with whom he lives in Los Angeles. There's a warm grin on Shannon's face as he notes that she's six-feet-tall and gorgeous, while he's five-foot-seven and baby-faced. "I get carded a lot," he says. "When I was in New York • one time I wanted to see 'The Siege.' And they carded me. They said, 'You're not over 17.' I said, 'Oh, man!' He saw my ID and said, 'This is a fake.'
