Based on the books by G. K. Chesterton, FATHER BROWN is a British mystery series that has been around since 2013. That's ten seasons of Kembleford murders that only the village priest seems to be able to solve. Along the way, we've met criminals and victims, police detectives and parish regulars, all linked by the titular prying padre. And some of those faces are familiar to PBS NC viewers from other programs. But who's who? Let's find out...
To start off, Mark Williams stars as Father Brown. He may be best known to the world at large as Ron Weasley's father in the Harry Potter film franchise but he's been seen in a few shows we've aired over the years. Williams played Sir John Middleton in a 2008 adaptation of Sense And Sensibility. A year earlier, he portrayed Mr. Beebe in A Room With A View. About 20 years back, he was Professor Perch in the fantasy series Gormenghast. In the late 80s, he popped up as a semi-regular in the sketch comedy series Alexei Sayle's Stuff and appeared as Lister's crewmate Peterson in the Britcom Red Dwarf.
