Edward Woodward ("Harry Malone")

Harry Malone, played by Edward WoodwardEdward Woodward is, of course, a veteran of film and television with lead roles in the gritty spy series Callan, the controversial cult horror film The Wicker Man, the Orwellian "1990" serial and ultimate international recognition in the top-notch American action/drama series The Equalizer. Prior to his involvement with CI5, he headed up the award-winning serial Common as Muck as (amazingly!) a binman. Despite a huge variety of roles, Edward's versatility always sees him turn in a captivating, imaginative performance.

In recent years health problems have occasionally hampered filming or theatrical work, yet he remains very much in demand.
