He turned four in 2013, the year Spinmaster\u2019s Canadian-made hit <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> about a pack of do-gooder pooches premiered, becoming an instant generational touchpoint. (Not to mention a clever marketing tool for what is now an $8-billion empire built on books, lunch boxes, bubble machines and every other product imaginable.) Like most kids, Shoniker had a favourite character: Rocky, the eco-puppy who reuses and recycles anything he can get his paws on. Unlike most kids, Shoniker would later voice his preferred pup in a blockbuster film franchise alongside Kim Kardashian.<\/p>\n<p>Long before Shoniker was cast in 2021\u2019s <em>PAW Patrol: The Movie<\/em>\u2014and its sequel, <em>PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie<\/em>, out this month\u2014he cut his teeth as Rumpelstiltskin on the theatre-camp circuit. \u201cI tried sports,\u201d he says, \u201cbut I loved theatre right away\u2014getting to transform into someone or something else.\u201d The acting bug also runs in the family: Shoniker\u2019s aunt Kimberley has CW Network and Hallmark movie credits to her name. By the age of seven, Shoniker had secured an agent of his own. His third-ever audition led to his first pro gig, playing the son of former Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the 2018 biopic <em>On the Basis of Sex<\/em>. \u201cMost kids get their start in commercials,\u201d Shoniker says. \u201cI saw every aspect of the filming process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shoniker, a trained vocalist, landed subsequent roles on CBC series like <em>Kim\u2019s Convenience<\/em>, but it was in the world of animation where Shoniker\u2019s credits really piled up: as Bubba Bear on <em>Kingdom Force<\/em>; as Prince Wednesday on <em>Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em>; and as mad scientist Romeo on <em>PJ Masks<\/em>. (Consider it the under-10 set\u2019s version of Robert De Niro\u2019s run in <em>Taxi Driver<\/em>, <em>The Deer Hunter<\/em> and <em>Raging Bull<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p>Shoniker is prepared for the real-life fanfare around <em>The Mighty Movie<\/em>, but he\u2019s aware that his streak in kids\u2019 animation has an expiration date\u2014for puberty reasons. In April, Shoniker, now 14, debuted as class clown Mike Cavalleri on YTV\u2019s live-action preteen series, <em>Popularity Papers<\/em>. He\u2019s intent on maintaining what he calls a \u201crelatively normal\u201d high schooler\u2019s existence between jobs\u2014the next being Amazon\u2019s 2024 sitcom <em>The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh<\/em>. His ultimate goal is to be a versatile, Swiss Army\u2013style actor in the vein of fellow Canuck Jim Carrey. Shoniker\u2019s even willing to trim his youthful locks, which he\u2019s maintained since his turn as James Ginsburg. \u201cI like having long hair,\u201d he says, \u201cbut I\u2019d cut it for the right role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"POP_QUIZ_WITH_CALLUM_SHONIKER\"><\/span><strong>POP QUIZ WITH CALLUM SHONIKER<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Family pet:<\/strong> Mike, a five-year-old corgi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shower song:<\/strong> Anything by Taylor Swift.
