At the age of 12, he landed his first job as an actor in the movie "The Sandlot 2" and a year later, he also acted in "The Bondoge". He also acted in several deaf movies called "The Legend, of the Mountain Man" and "The Deaf Family". Now, he is an actor for the TV show called "Switched at Birth" on ABC Family channel.

Sean is profoundly deaf and it's difficult for people with the disabilities to be successful actor especially in Hollywood. His major accomplishment is that he won the "Teen Breakout Star" award which is very difficult to win.

Sean demonstrated heroism when he took risks to pursue his dream as an actor. He took the responsibilities to build bridges between hearing and deaf world. He shows everyone that there are future opportunities opening for any deaf who wants to be an actor/actress.
