- Actor

Robert Sheehan, at fourteen years old, once ran into an audition room for a film, flipped the table over that they were all sitting behind, and started crying in the foetal position on the floor. Since then, the industry has welcomed him with open arms.
A year or so later, he went around telling everyone that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize for inventing a new kind of neutron, in the vain hopes that it would result in his life being filled with undeserved benefits.
'Sheehan' is actually his stage name. His real name is Robert Sheebunitza.
During the 2000s, Sheehan (born in Portlaoise, Co.Laois) started appearing in television series. His most prominent roles were as a series regular in the Australian series Foreign Exchange (2004), the historical fantasy Young Blades (2005), the drama series Rock Rivals (2008), and the first two seasons of science fiction series Misfits (2009). In "Misfits"(C4 and Netflix), the characters are youths in community service who gain superpowers. Sheehan's character, Nathan Young, gains the power of immortality.
Sheehan had a co-starring role in the drama film Cherrybomb (2009). The film is about two teenage boys who are trying to impress a female love interest trough performing criminal acts. Sheehan's co-star for the film was actor Rupert Grint, and their love interest was played by actress Kimberley Nixon.
Sheehan started the 2010s as a series regular in the crime drama series Love/Hate (2010). He has continued regularly appearing in theatre, film and television roles including (most recently) the series regular role of Klaus in all four seasons of "The Umbrella Academy" (Netflix, 2019-2024). Among his most prominent theatrical roles is the role of Richard Duke of Gloucester/Richard III in an adaptation of William Shakespeare's depiction of "The Wars of the Roses" directed by Trevor Nunn.
