Robert Michael Sheehan (born January 7, 1988) is an Irish actor best known for playing the role of Nathan Young - a character he personally described as "a kind of
James Bond figure...with a wank sock" - in the popular British sci-fi
dramedy Misfits. In early 2011 it was announced that he was leaving the show and would not be appearing in the third series (to the horror of many fans), presumably to pursue his movie career.
Also notable for his appearances in movies such as
Cherrybomb,
Killing Bono and
Season of the Witch, a major role in Canadian TV series
Young Blades, and lead character in Irish drug dealer drama
Love/Hate.
