Rodney Sheppard (born November 25, 1967) is an American musician who is the guitarist of the rock band Sugar Ray.

While attending Corona del Mar High School Rodney & friends formed a cover band inspired by the group The Jam.

That band, initially called The Tories, went on to become The Shrinky Dinx, and eventually became Sugar Ray.

Rodney's admiration for the actor, and the entire Kung Fu genre, can be seen in his role in the video for Sugar Ray's "When It's Over" where he attempts karate with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
