He attended Wilmington High School where he excelled in soccer, eventually earning a scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
At UNC, Shue became a standout midfielder for the Tar Heels. In 1987, he helped lead the team to the NCAA Division I men's soccer championship, scoring crucial goals during the tournament. He graduated in 1989 with a degree in communications. Following college, he briefly played professionally for the Baltimore Blast in the Major Indoor Soccer League. Despite his success on the field, Shue felt drawn to storytelling and began auditioning for acting roles shortly after turning down opportunities to continue his soccer career professionally.

After leaving the soap opera, Shue diversified his career. He appeared in films like The Rainmaker and guest-starred on Dawson's Creek.

He also co-founded the non-profit DoSomething.org in 1993, serving on its board and advocating for youth civic engagement. In recent years, he has focused on producing content through Raptive and The Forum, platforms dedicated to dialogue and community action.
