And, despite the fact that Robert Sheehan has already managed to gain recognition from critics, it was this series that made him famous almost all over the world.
Here, the young actor got the role of Nathan Young, who, along with other petty offenders, falls into correctional labor, and during the storm receives supernatural abilities, in particular immortality.

After the end of the second season, Robert Sheehan broke contact and refused further filming in the series. By the way, it was for this role that he was nominated for several popular awards in the categories of Rising Star and Best Supporting Actor. By the way, at one time there were rumors that the actor was going to return to the role of Nathan, but after the release of the fifth season of “Garbage,” the creators announced the closure of the series.
Films with the actor

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones - a new film with Robert Sheehan
In August 2013, the US premiered a new fantasy called "City of Bones: The Instruments of Death." The picture was shot on the first book of the series of adventure novels "The Instruments of Death" by C. Claire.
The film tells the story of a mysterious group of mythical creatures - half people and half angels. Here, Robert Sheehan played Simon Lewis - the best friend of the main character, who helps her in search of the truth and secretly in love with her.
