'Shadowhunters' Simon Lewis is a wholesome, geeky vampire who also managed to beat the friendzone

As a nerdy band geek and played by the absolutely on-spot Alberto Rosende, Simon has constantly provided the goofy, comic relief to the fantasy show.

Getting dragged into a world that you have no connection with, purely because your close friend somehow got roped into it might not be a great thing, but Simon Lewis from 'Shadowhunters' taught us that it's not always necessarily a terrible thing either. 

Our first introduction to Simon was as the best friend of the show's protagonist, Clary Fray's, (Katherin McNamara). As a nerdy band geek played by the absolutely on-spot Alberto Rosende, Simon has constantly provided the goofy, comic relief in the fantasy show based on Cassandra Clare's bestselling young adult novel, 'The Mortal Instruments.'

But what he has also contributed to, is the crucial, underlying motto of the show in general, which has only promoted the idea of love, acceptance, and tight friendships where no one gets left out.
