At the 2005 UK general election, Wallace stood as an independent parliamentary candidate, standing in the Brent South constituency in north London.

Wallace is a part-time lecturer and visits schools, colleges and other institutions to educate students on aspects of law. Read how Shauns passions have helped turn him into the man he is today: staunchly just and fair, ruthless when he needs to be, kind, fun, and a fiercely loyal friend. Since 2009, Wallace has appeared as a "chaser" on the UK television series The Chase, a teatime game show which airs on ITV.I admire his grit and determination in pursuing his dream of becoming a barrister, but I would have enjoyed his book so much more if it had been shortened to half its length. In 2004, Wallace became a champion of the BBC general knowledge quiz, Mastermind, which also tests a contestant's aptitude on a subject of their choice. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. In the real and pragmatic world, that may be true, but given the person that I am and have always been, that will never prevent me from chasing what I have always aspired to.
