Shadowhunters actor Shannon Kook has thanked fans for launching a campaign to save the show.
The show was canceled last year but fans were not going to let the show finish without a fight. The announcement led to a series of promotional events from fans, including extravagant gestures like flying a plane over Netflix’s LA headquarters and putting up a billboard in Times Square.
Speaking with Digital Spy, Kook has revealed how grateful he is to fans and explains why he was so gutted about the show’s cancellation.
“My part was a lot smaller in the show than it was in the audition and they were very secretive,” he explained. “Because when you audition for a part, you never really know what it’s going to be on the show.
“It was bigger in the audition, it was listed as recurring, and it turned out to be much smaller in the end. But I’m still thankful to be part of that universe. Knowing that the show wasn’t going to be picked up, I felt quite sad because the fans were going through such lengths to make the show come back, but it wasn’t possible.”
He said about the campaigns: “We were seeing all of these wonderful, heroic displays of fandom trying to fight for the show. I was quite touched seeing that, even though my part was quite small.”
