TV3 have finally found their leading man for their new soap opera Red Rock – Richard Flood.
Bosses have picked the dashing actor to play the main cop – Superintendent James McKay – in their Garda station-set show.
He will be first seen in the show next year when TV3 take on Fair City with their homegrown soap opera, after losing the rights to Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

Previously Richard starred with Donald Sutherland in US drama Crossing Lines, and teamed up with Rob Lowe in Killing Kennedy.
But Richard admitted he is now extremely happy to be back at home after a number of years in America.
He said: “I have tried the Garda hat and shirt on and my fiancee assures me that blue is a flattering colour.”
He will star alongside Game of Thrones’ Jane McGrath, who plays a female detective in the series.
