From Misfits to The Umbrella Academy, Robert Sheehan's Career So Far

[@mollybrolly3523]

robert sheehan is INSANELY underrated. not only does he present emotion in a uniquely perfect way, but he also portrayed tourette’s in an accurate and respectful way AND can somehow speak ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESSLY in pretty much any accent.
