Speaking about his new role, Bergin said:

"I’m a big fan of Red Rock so it’s a massive privilege to have a character created for me. I’m looking forward to bringing some danger and mystique to Red Rock.

"What’s even nicer is we’re filming just down the road from where I grew up so it’s good to be home."

Red Rock airs Monday night, April 10 at 9pm.
