About Darren Cahill
Darren Cahill plays the older Aethelred in Vikings and Davey Webb in Red Rock. Aethelred’s story is shaped by the expectations placed on Ecbert’s descendants and by his position beside Alfred. Red Rock gives a separate television setting in which to find Cahill away from that Saxon family storyline.
Red Rock is the next title to seek out for Cahill’s television work beyond Aethelred. Look for Davey Webb to move from royal succession and Alfred’s family into a contemporary ensemble. Aethelred remains the starting point within Vikings itself, particularly for anyone following the tensions between the brothers rather than only Alfred’s rise.
