Shawn is the son of Wally Amos, founder of the Famous Amos brand, and the first African-American talent agent for the William Morris Agency. Growing up in the colorful Hollywood landscape inspired Shawn to pursue a career in film (he attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts) then music and digital media. He is currently writing his first book, a memoir titled “Cookies & Milk: Scenes From a ’70s Hollywood Childhood.” Shawn sits on the Board of Trustees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and serves as secretary on the Los Angeles Board of Governors of the Recording Academy.

After graduating with a music degree from Vassar College, Spencer headed to Los Angeles and founded the critically acclaimed three-man sketch comedy group After School Special (LA Weekly’s Pick of the Week).

When he’s not writing and acting, he plays guitar and sings in the Los Angeles-based band Auditorium, whose debut album Be Brave was released in January 2011.  He also wants you to know that when he was 6 years old, he watched the movie Follow That Bird 4 times in one day.  He dares you to try to trump that record.

In 2008, Christine combined her love of undergarments and politics to found Retro Campaigns, a t-shirt company whose designs recall America’s political history. This takes up much of her free time and a not-inconsiderable portion of her apartment.

Christine also watches a lot of television. Like, a lot of television. She should really be embarrassed about how much television she watches, but like most children of the ’80s, she’s immune to shame.
