They are currently shopping their next screenplay, "Divorce Cruise," developing a science-comedy show starring astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier, and their pilot “Pro-Tem” was a semifinalist in the Golden Script Competition and a Second Rounder in the LaunchPad Pilot Competition.
​
As an actor, Sean has guest or co-starred on "FBI", “Blue Bloods,” “Gotham,” “Happyish,” and “Red Oaks,” and had supporting roles in the films “Me & Lizzie,” a murder-comedy starring Lucy DeVito, Cathy Curtin and Rob Yang, and indie rom-com, “Love…Reconsidered” starring Sophie Von Haselberg, Colton Haynes and Javier Muñoz.

As a comedian and improviser, Sean studied with the Groundlings, UCB and Empty Stage and hosted popular long-running NYC comedy showcases “The Drink at Work Show” and “Lasers In The Jungle.”
Sean was born in Boston but spent some of his first years in his dad’s native El Salvador, where he learned Spanish and had his appendix removed. He returned home when he was four and promptly forgot Spanish, which is honestly the most Boston thing ever.
He and Carol live in NYC with their two dogs, Fenchurch and Brooks Hatlen, and two cats, Graham Catman and Dr. Girlfriend.
Sean is a member of the Writers Guild of America and he's repped commercially by Tracey Goldblum and Doug Kesten at BBR and is managed by Abby Finer at Finer Entertainment, 917-836-9323.
