On the big screen, he played Bofur in The Hobbit, and Ivan Cooper in Bloody Sunday. His other shows have included Cold Feet (as Adam Williams), Lucky Man (as DI Harry Clayton), The Missing (as Tony Hughes), Monroe (as Gabriel Monroe), and Jekyll. What else has James Nesbitt been in? Perhaps we should have expected James Nesbitt to make an appearance, seeing as he worked with Jed Mercurio on his other recent drama Bloodlands. He was briefly pursued by AC-12 during the events of season three, when he was suspected of having covered up the child abuse at Sands View Boys’ Home – but as he was abroad, and Fairbank was convicted and imprisoned, things were taken no further at the time.
He was SIO on the investigation into the death of Oliver Stephens-Lloyd in 1998, and then he was SIO on the Lawrence Christopher case in 2003. Who is is Marcus Thuwell? Former Detective Chief Inspector Marcus Thurwell retired from the police force in 2005 and was last spotted in Spain in 2015. His recent film roles include Margot Robbie’s Mary Queen of Scots and James McAvoy’s black comedy Filth, while his original breakthrough came in the Ken Loach film Sweet Sixteen. What else has Martin Compston been in? Compston has starred in a number of other BBC dramas including 2020’s The Nest, about a couple who attempt to have a baby by using a young woman as a surrogate and Traces, a crime drama that originally aired on Alibi. For many years he was a Detective Sergeant, but he has recently been promoted to Detective Inspector – pending while all the paperwork goes through. He’s been injured on the job, however, and in season six that injury is hurting him more than ever. He has become an invaluable asset to AC-12, despite having previously come under scrutiny in season three, and is now an instrumental part of Ted Hastings’ team. Who is DI Steve Arnott? Formerly an anti-terrorism officer, Arnott transferred to anti-corruption at the start of season one after refusing to cover up a horrifically botched operation.
