Shawn T. Andrew is an actor who portrays Toren on The Orville.

Background[]

The Orville[]

Andrew was a fan of The Orville prior to auditioning for the role of Toren. The role gave little extra information about Toren, so he studied Season 1 episodes involving the Moclan species to prepare. Creator Seth MacFarlane enjoyed his audition tape. When he got the role, Andrew screamed "like a little girl."[1]

Andrew visited Los Angeles for two weeks, and filming began on the fifth day of his stay. Filming continued for five days.[1]

Andrew got his makeup done sitting next to Peter Macon (Bortus). It took an hour to apply Toren's costume and makeup and another hour to remove them.[1]

When Andrew got on set, Chad L. Coleman, already in costume as Klyden, greeted him enthusiastically, but he did not recognize Coleman. After filming concluded, Andrew saw Coleman at a get-together and was surprised to learn Coleman was part of The Orville, never knowing he had been performing with him for five days.[1]

After the final day of shooting, Andrew had drinks at his hotel's bar with Adrianne Palicki (Kelly Grayson) and MacFarlane.[1]
