They’ll be joined by BAFTA-winning actor Robert Carlyle, who plays Police Constable Shaun Massie – a veteran marksman and Specialist Rifle Officer.
Described as a gruff loner who ‘keeps himself to himself,’ Massie will join TAC-12’s investigation when his commanding officer, Gough, is accused of abusing his position.
