Can we stop with this annoying BS story about Rob and FWD

Robert was not suppose to be in Fear the Walking Dead.

It's just a rumor people! 

Every gossip rag that picked up this story didn't even quote Robert directly, which makes the story highly suspicious  They don't state which interview this supposed quote came from.

It's a complete load of horse sh** and you all are running with it! 

Robert is highly ambitious and really wants to break into Hollywood, but given his habit of floating between film, theater, and tv roles (he left Misfits and Love/Hate at the height of its popularity) it's highly unlikely that he'd commit himself to something like FWD, especially something that could possibly typecast him as tv fodder instead of allowing him to break into big-budget films.

Sorry nope, check your sources next time, if the article can't even bother to provide the magazine or tv interview in which the celeb said "xyz" then there is a BIG chance it's a rumor.

No, Robert openly discussed it in an interview how he was cast and then dropped. It's not a made up story. http://www.hotpress.com/Robert-Sheehan/news/How-Robert-Sheehan-was-screwed-out-of-part-in-Walking-Dead-spinoff/13675823.html

I never knew he could've played Nick. Frank Dillane is doing an excellent job though!

Damn, that sucks. I was hoping he'd get his big breakout in the U.S. soon, but I guess not. 😕

I'm so confused by his career. His work on Misfits clearly set him apart as a talent to watch and I suppose he left the show in order to pursue other things but nothing he's done since has come close to the attention he got for Misfits.

I could picture him in any number of projects. He's got great presence and a unique energy. Why hasn't he been able to capitalize on it?

I'm so confused too! Maybe he isn't as passionate about acting as we thought?

He did a great job in The Road Within. I would love to see him in more. Like you said, he has a great screen presence & he's got a great personality to do some decent promo.
