Speaking about his new role, Bergin said:
"I’m a big fan of Red Rock so it’s a massive privilege to have a character created for me. I’m looking forward to bringing some danger and mystique to Red Rock.
"What’s even nicer is we’re filming just down the road from where I grew up so it’s good to be home."
