Robert Sheehan Talks 'The Mortal Instruments' and Persisting for the Part

 

We super love Robert Sheehan. No even meaning to brag, but he's been super sweet each and every time he has met us. The actor recently spoke about Hollywood, his life, and being in the Mortal Instruments.

If The Mortal Instruments had been a British film series and not a globally anticipated American high-school fantasy about humans with angel qualities, Sheehan would have been a shoo-in. As it went, it took him the audition and six or seven further tapes, made and sent to the US off his own bat, to ensure he got the role. "I cannot stress enough how much I persisted," he laughs. "With any film of that scale there's a committee that has a very specific idea of what they're looking for, but I just kept thinking that if I showed them something else, maybe they'd want that instead." Should the first film take off in the way that's planned, the move to Hollywood is almost inevitable; his co-stars, Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower, are already there. This year he has been over twice so far. "And it's friendlier than you think," he says. "It's all: 'Chad's having a party on Saturday, Ethan's having a barbecue on Sunday, we're gonna do brunch and hiking on Monday…' It's surprisingly easy to plug yourself in."
