Meanwhile, another fan of the drama and Shaun's acting wrote, '#ShaunEvans is always brilliant. He never disappoints. Not sure I want to see him as the bad guy.'

To which another fan replied, 'He’s a awful character and to think it’s a true story is horrific. I’ve seen Shaun in a couple of bad guy roles but this one is the worst. But he’s an actor and he’s good at his craft.'
And another wrote, 'First things I saw him in were Silk ( nice character ) and the Last Weekend ( not so nice ! ) As you say, he's a good actor and certainly isn't getting typecast - good to have range.'
And a third responded, 'He was best part of season one of #Vigil.'
While another wrote, 'I think even he said this acting role was very hard on him because as you say this guy is the worst.'
