One of Australia’s favourite actors, Martin Sacks, is joining the Season Two cast of TEN’s drama series Wonderland.
With a career spanning more than 30 years, Martin has played some of Australia’s most memorable film and television characters, including P.J. Hasham in the long-running police drama Blue Heelers. That role established him as one of the country’s most talented and engaging actors, and earned Martin five consecutive TV Week Silver Logies for Most Popular Actor.
Since then, Martin has featured in some of acclaimed television drama series such as Offspring,Underbelly, City Homicide, Sea Patrol, Rescue: Special Ops and Rake.
“I was extremely happy to be asked to join Wonderland. It has a real energy and vibrancy that I think audiences will really enjoy headed by a young and fantastic cast,” said Martin, who is pictured here (centre) with Anna Bamford and Tim Ross.
Interestingly Ten still has 13 remaining episodes from Season One of Wonderland that are yet to be broadcast meaning viewers are unlikely to see Martin Sacks until late 2014 or early 2015.
Also confirmed to be returning for the second season of Wonderland, Aussie television favourites Les Hill, Michael Dorman, Brooke Satchwell, Tracy Mann, Peter Phelps, Jessica Toovey, Ben Mingay, Emma Lung and Glenn McMillan.
Network Ten’s Head of Drama, Rick Maier, said: “It’s fantastic to have Martin on board, creating mayhem in his own charming way. We know he will be a great addition to this already very strong ensemble.”
Wonderland is expected to return to Wednesday’s on Ten after the completion of the current season of Offspring
