From a hairy Gary Sweet to a young Alex Dimitriades and even Ray Martin, Blue Murder featured the who’s who of the local film and television industry.
There’s no denying Richard Roxburgh captured the physical and mental essence of Roger. Charming, ruthless, and relentless, Richard did such a good job that it was often difficult to distinguish between the two. But it’s not just Richard’s performance that makes this show a must-see. The ensemble cast is equally as outstanding.
Tony Martin
Tony played Neddy Smith with such accuracy that if you look closely at Neddy’s background scenes, he’s hands are always shaking. Tony did this to ensure Ned’s real-life Parkinson’s diagnosis was accurately depicted.

Alex Dimitriades
From Heartbreak High to Blue Murder, a baby-faced 21-year-old Alex played the ill-fated role of Warren Lanfranchi. He later went on to score roles in Neighbours, Underbelly and Secret City.

Steve Bastoni
After playing one of the only good guys in all of Blue Murder, Michael Drury, Steve later found success in Neighbours, Sea Patrol, Underbelly, Upper Middle Bogan and The Wrong Girl.

Marcus Graham
From Aussie drug dealer Alan Williams to the bright lights of Hollywood, Marcus scored parts in a number of Tinseltown hits after Blue Murder including Charmed and Mulholland Drive.

Gary Sweet
What a role, what a wig. As Christopher Dale Flannery, Gary’s fiery temper was unlike anything you’d see on House Husbands… and so was his full head of hair.

Remember a whole other cast of familiar faces? Blue Murder also featured performances by Peter Phelps, John Jarratt, Richard Carter and Bill Hunter.
