I love Frank Dillane's Nick, but I also think Rob would've made an awesome Nick as well. It is unfortunate it didn't work out because of his agent screwing it all up, but I do think the role was meant for Frank Dillane. Things happen for a reason.
The best things are last
Yes, I read about this a few months ago. He was the original Nick Clark. Things happen like this all the time in Hollywood. Actors get cast and then they get uncast for whatever the reason may be. As much as I like Robert, I am glad he didn't get the part because then we wouldn't have the wonderful Frank Dillane in the role. Like you said, although Robert was originally cast in the role, Nick is all Frank's. It wasn't meant to be. Hopefully, Robert will get his big break soon. He deserves it.
shareIt's funny because I discovered Robert Sheehan the same time FTWD started so when I found out he was originally cast as Nick Clark I was shocked! Even though Robert Sheehan is one of my favorite actors and I know he would've done amazing as Nick Clark, I'm glad Frank Dillane got the part instead since I never would've known who he is! Robert will get his big break soon, I know it!
shareUh no.
Not one of those gossip rags even shared the source of this quote. That should be MORE than enough proof it's a completely fabricated story.
