Who is in the cast of Vienna Blood?
VIENNA Blood fans will be thrilled to hear that the BBC is airing repeat episodes of the three-part crime thriller, which had viewers glued to the edge of their seats when it first aired in 2019.
With the opening episode set to air tomorrow (Wednesday 13, May, 2020) on BBC Two at 9pm, here’s a look at the characters starring in the drama.
Who is in the cast of Vienna Blood?
The international stars of Vienna Blood are from Ireland, Australia, Austria, Germany and England.
Here’s who’s in the cast of the BBC drama, and where you’ve seen them before:
Matthew Beard as Max Lieberman
English actor Matthew Beard stars as young man Max Lieberman in Vienna Blood.
Max is a middle-class British Jew who moved to Austria in his teenage years to chase a living as a junior doctor.
But Max quickly becomes more interested in neurology than the old-fashioned ideas of his lecturers.
Particularly interested in the teachings of Dr Sigmund Freud, Max finds himself obsessing over the psychology of psychopaths and murderers – and eventually manages to convince the Viennese police to let him observe their work.
The actor has appeared in some big-name films and TV shows and starred as the younger version of Colin Firth’s character in 2007 movie And When Did You Last See Your Father.
Since then, Matthew has appeared as Guy in The Riot Club, Adrian in Kiss Me First, Peter Hilton in The Imitation Game and Arthur Potts in Decline and Fall.
Jürgen Maurer plays Oskar Rheinhardt
Jürgen Maurer plays half-Slovak police inspector Oskar Rheinhardt in Vienna Blood.
Oskar is often irritated by Max’s long-winded approach to solving crimes, but is quick to realise that Max’s intuitions will be sure to advance his own career.
The Austrian actor rose to fame treading the boards but has since made the shift over to TV acting.
Conleth Hill as Mendel Liebermann
Conleth Hill stars as Max’s father, Mendel Lieberman, in the BBC crime thriller.
Game of Thrones fans will immediately recognise his face from his role as Lord Varys in the series.
The Irish actor has also appeared in Suits, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and as Superintendent O’Kelly in crime thriller Dublin Murders.
Charlene McKenna as Leah Liebermann
Irish actress Charlene McKenna appears in Vienna Blood as Max’s fiery older sister.
Leah is a widow bringing her son up alone and often berates Max for his behaviour.
Charlene briefly appeared in the latest series of Peaky Blinders as Captain Swing.
She also starred as Rose Erskine in Ripper Street and has bagged roles in Pure Mule, Raw, Death and Nightingales, and Whistleblower.
Amelia Bullmore as Rachel Liebermann
Amelia Bullmore plays Max’s clingy mother Rachel Libermann in Vienna Blood.
Rachel has little ambition beyond her children and heaps pressure on Max to marry Clara as soon as possible.
Fans of historical dramas are likely to recognise Amelia from her role as righteous Eliza Priestley in Gentleman Jack, or as Olivia in Deep State.
The English actress has also appeared in Scott & Bailey, Twenty Twelve and Power Monkeys.
TV fans will know that, decades ago, Amelia rose to fame as Steph Barnes in Coronation Street.
Luise von Finckh as Clara Weiss
The Berlin-born actress Luise von Finckh stars as the woman Max is expected to marry, Clara Weiss.
She does have feelings for Max, but after more than two years of twiddling her thumbs and waiting for Max to give their relationship a kick in the right direction, she’s starting to lose hope.
Luise is probably best known for starring as Jule Vogt in Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten.
