Meet the cast of Prime Suspect 1973
Who's who in the ITV drama about Jane Tennison's early days in the police force?
Renee Bentley – Ruth Sheen
Fans of Mike Leigh’s cinematic back catalogue will recognise Sheen thanks to her roles in High Hopes, Secrets & Lies, All or Nothing, Vera Drake, Another Year and Mr Turner. The veteran actress starred in the first series of ITV’s Unforgotten and also popped up in Inside No. 9, Misfits, Bramwell and Holding On, to name but a few.
John Bentley – Lex Shrapnel
Shrapnel played John Tracy in the 2004 live-action Thunderbirds movie and also nabbed a role in Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011. On TV you might have spotted him in Hunter, Minder or Medici: Masters of Flornence. Oh, and he popped up in an episode of Endeavour too.
David Bentley – Jay Taylor
Taylor played The Bill’s Dan Cox, and also popped up in an episode of Casualty as Simon Roper, and in Misfits as Mark. You might have noticed him in Holby City, Sirens and Silk too.
