Mark A. Sheppard, who played Crowley in the TV series Supernatural, was disappointed with his character's ending. Crowley sacrificed himself to help Sam and Dean Winchester seal the gates of Hell, but Sheppard felt that the show's writers had been moving away from his character for two years and that they didn't have any more ideas for him. He also accused the producers of being dishonest about his exit. Despite this, Sheppard has continued to thrive in his career, appearing in DC's Doom Patrol and CW's Walker: Independence. Fans remain loyal to his portrayal of Crowley on Supernatural.
