Sheppard is the son of character actor William Morgan Sheppard. His first passion was being a musician, which lead him to play in multiple bands that performed in parts of the globe like France and Algeria. He initially preferred being a musician over following his father's footsteps, believing that "he’s the actor and I’m the musician and that was when I was a kid, but then years later I discovered it was pretty much the same thing to me".[1]
Sheppard began pursuing acting as someone had "asked me to see if I could be in a play, and I was reluctant but I did it and I discovered it was something I love, it’s fun".[1]
He credits his father for teaching him "a certain sensibility about acting, as far as we are of the same belief that there is no such thing as a bad guy. They are people of a differing opinion. And are willing to do different things to get what it is that they want. But you should never play the guy as a bad guy."[1]
Sheppard's career in acting has lead to many appearances in popular television shows, including 24 as Ivan Erwich, Firefly as Badger, Medium as Dr. Charles Walker, and Star Trek: Voyager in Child's Play as Leucon.
In addition to Battlestar Galactica, he has done work on David Eick's remake of The Bionic Woman (with Katee Sackhoff).[1] He also recently guest stared in Burn Notice Season 2 episode Bad Breaks as a bank robber. He appears in the 2011 Doctor Who episodes "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon" as a 1960s FBI agent Canton Everett Delaware III.
Battlestar Galactica
Sheppard has mentioned that he is a fan of the Re-imagined Series, but did not get into the Original Series. Sheppard's involvement in Battlestar Galactica began through CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's Naren Shankar, who encouraged him to meet Ronald D. Moore. After meeting, Moore attempted to get Sheppard a role as a Cylon in Season 2, which did not happen due to his commitment to Medium. He had a future conversation with Moore and David Eick, where Sheppard mentioned that he would be willing to play any character; a few months after that, when fixing Moore's computer, Moore offered him "three episodes of Battlestar" and, thus, the part of Romo Lampkin.[1]
