Robert Carlyle, Detective Constable Shaun Massie
As the guest lead for season 7, we’ve got Robert Carlyle stepping in as Detective Constable Shaun Massie. A Specialist Rifle Officer (SRO) and veteran marksman, Massie works with Tactical Operations Unit 7 (TO-7) to take down Organised Crime Groups. A gruff loner, he usually keeps to himself, but when his boss, TO-7’s commanding officer DI Dominic Gough, is accused of being a sexual predator, Massie’s normally detached exterior is shaken to its core.
Carlyle, of course, is a timeless star, beloved for roles in The Beach, Trainspotting, and 28 Weeks Later.
