Hollywood actor Patrick Bergin, is set to star in TV3’s award winning drama series Red Rock.
The Dublin native who is best known for his roles in Hollywood films Sleeping With The Enemy starring alongside Julia Roberts, Patriot Games alongside Harrison Ford and When The Sky Falls, amongst more, will be cast as Jim Tierney, the grandfather of Detective Rory Walsh, played by Chris Newman.
Jim Tierney is Rory’s only family and is extremely proud to have a Detective for a grandson. But Jim has a chequered past and is no stranger to crime, he has a dark secret that still hangs over him to this day. It breaks his heart that his past even burdens his grandson, who will risk everything, even his career to keep his grandfather’s secret safe.
Patrick is a big fan of the show so, he was delighted they asked him on board and he’s looking forward to bringing some danger to the show with his character.
“I’m a big fan of Red Rock so it’s a massive privilege to have a character created for me.” he said. “I’m looking forward to bringing some danger and mystique to Red Rock! What’s even nicer is we’re filming just down the road from Drimnagh, where I grew up, so it’s good to be home.”
‘Red Rock’ returns Monday 9th January on TV3.
