Freeform’s ‘Shadowhunters’ is sadly coming to an end with the first of its final 12 episodes premiering February 25. ‘Shadowhunters’ was a break out hit for the network and quickly gained a huge following from fans all over the world, many of whom also loved the book series written by Cassandra Clare. 

Not only is the show itself loved dearly by fans, but so are the iconic characters and actors who portray them. One of who is Alberto Rosende, who plays the lovable Simon Lewis. Shockingly, ‘Shadowhunters’ was only Rosende’s second ever acting job after graduating from NYU’s prestigious acting program TISCH.
