Andrew Caple-Shaw is a native of Fort Worth, Texas. He began his career in regional theater at the age of 8.

At 18 he moved to Los Angeles to play defensive end for Occidental College. At the time he had no plans to pursue acting as a career. He sought work in TV and commercials mainly to support his goal of getting a college degree. He hope was to someday become a professor. His football career ended after his junior year due to an abdominal injury and a series of concussions.

He graduated from Occidental Magna Cum Laude and was nominated for the Rhodes Scholarship, but upon graduation things were going well in Hollywood so he stayed with it. He saw himself as more of a work-a-day character actor than a leading man. Expecting to rely on union health insurance and contracts for the rest of his life, he became heavily involved in the politics of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. He helped drive several campaigns for leaders of the various pro-merger and moderate factions, including those of Melissa Gilbert, Morgan Fairchild, and Roberta Reordan. He chaired AFTRA's New Technology Committee for several years, held a seat in the AFTRA strategy cabinet, and played a support role in preventing a major work stoppage following the writer's strike of 2007. Not expecting his coalition to be successful and anticipating the town to shut down, he enrolled in law school. He graduated in less than two years while still helping run the union and remaining active as an actor. He also won numerous accolades as an interscholastic Trial Advocate, leading his law school to their first national tournament championship.

In 2010 he left Los Angeles to pursue a career in trial law in Nashville, Tennessee. He was voted on to the board of the AFTRA local and was there when the two unions merged, a personal goal of his for over a decade. Shortly thereafter he was unanimously voted Vice President of the new SAG-AFTRA Nashville.

He closed his law practice and joined the litigation consulting practice of actress/playwright Katherine James and her partner, Alan Blumenfeld. He now teaches trial skills in some of America's best law firms, as well as within law schools an for attorney trade associations. He prepares attorney's and witnesses for trial and deposition in high-stakes litigation, showing them how to honestly and sincerely tell their story within the restraints of the rules of the courtroom. Under the moniker "The Advocate" he produces internet videos for law students seeking to learn courtroom technique. He also still works in TV/film in the Southeastern market.
