Character & Cast

Cavalletto is a cheerful and chirpy Italian - the kind of person everyone takes a shine to. He is a petty crook but not a dedicated criminal - given half the chance, he would much rather earn his money honestly. At the start of the story, he finds himself the unfortunate cellmate of the terrifying Rigaud and, upon his release from prison, he continues to live in fear of ever encountering Rigaud again.

Jason's a comedian at heart and took the lead role in the Bafta-nominated series, Sir Gadabout. Since then he's gone on to star in TV favourites Casualty, Wire in the Blood and Primeval.
