Robert Sheehan News
of the “best news ever” variety
Robert Sheehan has been cast in the play, Withnail and I. (Brain explodes I can barely see as I type.)
As Withnail!!! (Just blows entire head off, never to be seen again.)
If you’ve ever seen the original movie, you are already screaming in joyful exuberance.
I swear on everything, this could not be a better casting. The manic roller coaster of Withnail being a hilarious-horrible roommate from hell is literally a Robert Sheehan dream role. Like possibly award-winning if he doesn’t bungle it.
Rob will play the deranged one at left.
Withnail is a force of chaos who electrifies every room he enters, with incredibly compelling charisma that guarantees he’ll get away with every insane thing he does. He drags his best friend into every risky, certain to fail, sketchy, and rent avoidant adventure. Lots and lots and lots of intoxication. The drug deal is piss-your-pants funny, as is the dishwashing scene. Dishwashing? Yes, dishwashing is sidesplittingly funny enough that you’ll piss your pants.
This is Role of a Lifetime level shit for Robert Sheehan. Here’s hoping it moves to London and on to Broadway. (This character deserves a film franchise, Withnail is that addictive.)
2 of my Top 10 favorite movie characters of all time. (Withnail: Richard E Grant, and I: Paul McGann)
Watch the original movie and improve your life in one easy step.

Dean: I’m going to cast this with the best actors for these parts, I didn’t know if I would get them, but I figured I’d get on my knees and beg…
Robert: But they turned it down, so then he called me.
