The actor revealed that he came in originally for a different role, not the one that he’s currently portraying. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out but he’s very lucky that he got the opportunity to play another part.

“It really is a lovely place to work. The cast and crew have been brilliant. I couldn’t have hoped for a better start to a new job,” the actor said.

Womack admitted that his first day was “pretty terrifying” However, he also added that the cast and crew were all “warm and welcoming,” which most likely helped put him at ease.

Womack made his debut when his character, the dangerous and corrupt DI Malone, arrived in town to confront Will Taylor (Dean Andrews). Later on, he got into a new feud with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).

He described his character as “very Machiavellian.”

“He will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Even though he is a policeman, he behaves in much the same way as the criminals he is after,” he said.
