10 Minutes With Shane West with drDrew.Com
http://www.drDrew.Com

Shane West is no Leonardo DiCaprio. Hell, he's not even a Freddie Prinze Jr. However, as he proves in Whatever It Takes, the young newcomer has the boy-band looks and necessary acting chops to make him as popular as the two aforementioned celebs. The high school romance flick stars West as a wannabe who gets a make-over and dumps his old friends in order to go out with the hottest girl in school (yes, you could call it He's All That). 

If all goes according to plan, this could lead to big things for West and more recognition than he received for his minor role on the critically-acclaimed TV show,Once and Again. Though the latter is not a ratings hit, it's a nice spot for a budding star to showcase his talents and a good first-step into superstardom. Luckily, he's not too big to give us Five Minutes...yet.
