Shannon is well known for his portrayal of troubled side characters, and his performance in Revolutionary Road (2008) received an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. In 2015 he appeared in 99 Homes as Rick Carver, a performance that earned nominations for the Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor and Screen Actors Guild Award for Supporting Actor.
