KENT SHOCKNEK

Kent Shocknek typically portrays authority figures in film and on TV. His recognizability as a high-profile news anchor at CBS-TV in Los Angeles first led productions to cast him for authentic representations of broadcasters. Since stepping away from TV news, Shocknek also has been sought to play characters outside of broadcasting, including executives, attorneys, and a used-car salesman in his breakout role as the male lead in the 2014 short film, "The Six O'Clock."

Trivia
Because of the length of his career, the duration of his newscasts, and breaking news events, Shocknek is believed to have logged more hours anchoring news than anyone else in Los Angeles.

Quotes
Playing completely unrelated roles is a newer opportunity, but I'll never complain about appearing as a newscaster: after all, half the word 'typecast' is 'cast.'
