Jack Ashton became a household name as the dependable Reverend Tom Hereward in popular period drama Call the Midwife. But for his latest role in BBC One’s Waterloo Road season 12, Jack’s playing a character far removed from a man of the cloth.
Determined to tackle knife crime at the school, following the stabbing incident involving pupil Danny Lewis (Adam Abbou), head teacher Kim Campbell (Angela Griffin) calls on reformed criminal Lenny Sampson — played by Jack — to help explore how Waterloo Road can prevent young people like Danny falling through the cracks.
