Benny is more comfortable with a console than a conversation, which makes him a bit of a recluse. He’s commonly known within the unit as Benny Deadhead, due to his somewhat laid back approach to life. But he’s an exemplary hacker and what he doesn’t know about computers and technology just isn’t worth knowing.
Benny’s reputation and the hours he’s contracted by the SSU have sharply risen recently as technology becomes an increasingly important factor in crime solving. Rarely a case goes by when Luther doesn’t need Benny’s infinite knowledge of trivia and his high-tech expertise.
About Michael Smiley
Michael Smiley's recent work includes Pringle in Ben Wheatley's award-winning "Down Terrace" and Paterson in John Landis' "Burke and Hare." He will soon start filming "Macrobane," starring Nick Frost. An international stand-up comedian, he is currently working on his one-man show, "Immigrant."
Detective Sergeant Ripley is young, talented, and idealistic. He completely idolizes Luther. Their work styles are very different but both strive for one common goal: nailing the bad guys.
Alice is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent and dangerous. She’s introduced as a key witness in Luther’s first investigation. Luther, however, quickly discovers she is not as innocent as she seems.
