"Joe Gilgun has signed up to appear in the new series of Misfits. Channel 4 announced that the actor has landed the role of Rudy in the show. Rudy is a replacement for the much-loved character Nathan, played by Robert Sheehan. It emerged last month that Sheehan has decided to leave the programme. Rudy will meet the other characters - Kelly (Lauren Socha), Simon (Iwan Rheon), Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) and Alisha (Antonia Thomas) - when he starts community service. However, he gets a &amp;quot;rude awakening&amp;quot; when he joins the group and is also struggling to keep his superpower a secret. Gilgun recently appeared as Woody in the BAFTA-nominated show This Is England &amp;#039;86. He also previously starred as Eli Dingle in Emmerdale. The new series of Misfits, which has been extended to eight episodes, is expected to air later this year on E4. &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Misfits&amp;#039; online film to be set in Vegas "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
