Shane Meier (born June 11, 1977) is a 47-years-old Canadian actor who is now devoted to being an entrepreneur. He owns and runs a men’s retail clothing store called Goodlad Clothing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Showbizers estimates the actor’s net worth at $5 million and it is hard to tell if he is married as nothing indicates he has a wife.
Meier has been a part of the entertainment industry since he was 10 years old. For him, acting wasn’t something he wanted to grow up and do for a living; it was a hobby that saw him work on Vancouver-based films and television shows when he was still a kid. Though it’s been a long time since he portrayed a character onscreen, he is yet to retire from the industry.

Shane Meier Now Focuses More on Running His Men’s Retail Clothing Store
What happened to Shane Meier, what is Shane Meier doing now, and similar questions of that sort are often asked about the Canadian actor. The reason for this is not far-fetched: Meier, if we are not mistaken, hasn’t been seen in any production since he played Spinks in the 2009 snowboarding film, Revenge of the Boarding School Dropouts.
For someone who had accumulated no fewer than 60 acting credits to his name, it is not hard to see why people have been inquisitive about his whereabouts. As you would soon learn, Meier has not completely abandoned his career in showbiz. He has only relegated it to the background in favor of being an entrepreneur.
The Canadian actor disclosed that he is now moving his career towards owning and running small independent men’s retail clothing stores across his country and the United States. He owns and runs Goodlad Clothing, a men’s clothing store with a coffee bar and barber shop based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The establishment has been in business since June 2018.
Before the actor launched Goodlad Clothing, he spent years working in various capacities in the field to gain experience. From 2007 to 2012, he worked as a sales associate for Brooklyn Clothing in Vancouver, Canada. Thereafter, he spent over seven years working for Howard Clothing.
He Continues to Work in Showbiz but not as an Actor
Since 2009, Shane Meier has not portrayed any character on screen. It might not be wrong for one to suggest that his acting days are over. However, he has not totally forsaken his showbiz career. While he has not had any acting role for over a decade and counting, he served as a consulting director in Hit ‘n Strum, a 2012 film written and directed by Kirk Caouette.
Although he was dismissive when he was asked if he would take up more behind-the-camera roles, Showbizers learned from a reliable source that he’s doing exactly that at the moment. As learned, Shane Meier is currently developing a true crime Canadian miniseries. All things being equal, the series would be produced by the end of this year (2022).
So, his case is different compared to Remi Thorne who completely abandoned acting to pursue a career in mixed martial arts.
Age of the Canadian Actor: How Old Is Shane Meier?
Shane Meier is 47 years old right now. Credible records document he was born on the 11th of June 1977. As you would easily find, his place of birth was in Saskatoon, the largest city in Saskatchewan, a province located in western Canada.
Shane is the middle child of three sons born to his parents, Jane Weir and John Meier. It wouldn’t be fallacious to suggest he inherited his knack for performing arts from his father. The older Meier has over 200 credits to his name as a stuntman and actor.
As stated earlier, Shane grew up acting; for him, it was a hobby that became a career. He disclosed in one of his interviews that he became a professional actor at the age of 10. Showbizers has traced his career back to the late 80s and early 90s when he was seen in several television productions as listed below.

Is Shane Meier Married, Who Is His Wife?
One area of the Canadian actor’s life that has been a mystery to many has been his love life. Given his age, it is not unusual for people to think of Shane as a married man. It has been assumed that he is married on several quarters and with that many have set out to uncover the identity of his wife.
Such quests haven’t been fruitful as nothing indicates that Shane Meier is married. It might not be wrong to assert that he does not have a wife, but the fact of the matter is that his marital status has remained unknown to the public.
If one must believe everything that has been reported about him, he is also not dating anyone. That’s hard to believe, we know. But the Goodlad Clothing owner hasn’t been romantically linked to anyone in recent times. If he has a romantic partner, then he has gone to great lengths to keep it away from the public.
The Actor and Goodlad Clothing Founder Has a Net Worth of at least $5 Million
Showbizers has estimated that Shane Meier is worth at least $5 million. This estimation is based on a guesstimated value of his business, Goodlad Clothing, and what he earned from the many acting roles he pulled off before relegating his showbiz career to the background.
As such, it might not represent the true value of the wealth he has accumulated for himself over time. We only know he made good money from his acting career which sustained for roughly three decades before he went missing in action.
More so, his business seems to be thriving. He has been running Goodlad Clothing for over four years as of this writing. What he has made from the business is best known to him. But it must have been so significant he decided to focus more on it.
