Where Do I Know That Actor?

Based on Frank Tallis’ Liebermann novels, VIENNA BLOOD is a crime drama set in Austria during the early 1900s. The series follows a young psychiatrist and student of Sigmund Freud as he assist the police in cases. But before the new season of VIENNA BLOOD premieres next year, we’re repeating the first series Mondays on the Explorer Channel. As such, it seemed a good time to look into the players of this unique psychological thriller. So let’s meet them…

Matthew Beard stars as Dr. Max Liebermann. If his name sounds familiar, it may be because he just played the dual roles of James Taylor and Fraser in Magpie Murders.

Charlene McKenna plays Max’s sister, Leah. About 15 years back, she appeared as the Marchioness in The Old Curiosity Shop.

Conleth Hill portrays Max’s father, Mendel. Another familiar name perhaps since he just played author Alan Conway in Magpie Murders. A few years back, he was Sergeant Upton in Arthur & George on Masterpiece Mystery.
