Who is in The Suspect episode 1?
Joe O’Loughlin – Aidan Turner

Speaking about his character in The Suspect, Turner said: “Joe is definitely a flawed character. Which is interesting to play. He regularly makes impulsive and risky decisions knowing that there could be consequences for this later.
“Sometimes this behaviour pays off for Joe and other times it just seems to make things more complicated for him. This makes Joe unpredictable and sometimes unreliable which is refreshing to play in a protagonist. If that’s what he is.”
