Jason Watkins as Ed Collier
Taking on the role of Ed Collier is BAFTA-winning actor, Jason Watkins. Famed for his work on The Crown, Call The Midwife, Line of Duty and SAS: Rogue Heroes, Jason has also starred in Midsomer Murders, portraying Joe Ferabbee in the season 20 episode, 'Send in the Clowns.'
Speaking about his role in the The Catch, he explained: "I've always loved thrillers on screen and The Catch has all the ingredients to keep audiences hooked. Three dimensional characters, a family unit under stress, with a tragedy at the heart – all brilliantly framed in the thriller genre. I'm always looking for parts I may not have played before and Ed is a person in extremis, trying to do what's best. Failing and succeeding in equal measure. It's great to play a character so buffeted by events."
