Having played DI Robbie Ross in the popular Scottish detective series Taggart for 13 years, actor John Michie found it a little odd being on the other side of a police interrogation for his latest role in ITV1's Karen Pirie season 2.
"Interviewing as a cop, you're just asking factual questions like 'Where were you on Thursday?'. So it's very strange being questioned but I enjoyed it as that's where acting is full of subtext; it’s all about what you’re not saying," ex-Holby City and Coronation Street star John, 68, says as he joins us for an exclusive chat about this Sunday’s second episode of Karen Pirie, in which he plays Fergus Sinclair, a shady businessman connected to the 1984 kidnap of oil heiress Catriona Grant (Julia Brown) and her son Adam.
