bikinikill Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 "IT'S the latest entry from Australia's criminal dirt files and some of our biggest soap stars have switched to the dark side as cameras roll today for the first of three Underbelly telemovies. Former Home & Away actor Todd Lasance will play a police detective in the first spin-off movie from the makers of the gangland TV series. Underbelly Files: Tell Them Lucifer Was Here chronicles the 1998 murders of two Victorian police officers, Gary Silk and Rod Miller, who were gunned down in a Melbourne street. Lasance will play Detective Sergeant Dean Thomas alongside former All Saints actor Brett Climo as the head of Taskforce Lorimer which investigated the killings. Also making a return to the small screen is former Neighbours favourite Annie Jones as Dorothy, the wife of gunman Bandali Debs and ex-Blue Heelers star Jane Allsop playing Miller's widow, Carmel Arthur.

MeganSaturday Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Oooh that'll be interesting...seeing Todd arresting people as opposed to being arrested like Aden was countless times
Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Cool, I've read quite a bit about this case. I can't wait to see who's playing Bandali Debs and Jason Roberts.
j.laur5 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Paul O'Brien is also in it. I thought Paul was having a good time the USA?
adellejefferiesxox Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 YAY!!!! Todd in Underbelly it's a shame Jess and Todd couldn't appear in the same season
Mistified Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Paul O'Brien is also in it. Oh really? That's great news. Have you an article on this?
Anaya Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Paul O'Brien is also in it. I thought Paul was having a good time the USA? He may have been having a good time in the States, but I don't think it was so eventful on the work front. He's been back in Aus for a while now, seen at a few events. YAY!!!! Todd in Underbelly it's a shame Jess and Todd couldn't appear in the same season Todd's not going to be in the next season of the show. He's appearing in the first of a trilogy of spin off Telemovies of the show. Anyway that is awesome for him in terms of acting work. Yay! I wonder if this means his plans for La la land have been put on hold for a while? Maybe he's been auditioning for stuff there & in Aus at the same time. I agree, it's going to be different seeing him in the role of a detective. Paul O'Brien is also in it. Oh really? That's great news. Have you an article on this? Here's one that features Paul. Underbelly Takes On Cop Killers THE cameras will begin rolling this week on Underbelly Files: Tell Them Lucifer Was Here, the emotion-charged story of the killing of policemen Rod Miller and Gary Silk. Developed by Screentime, producers of ratings juggernaut Underbelly, the Channel 9 telemovie will explore, in vivid detail, how Bandali Debs and his young accomplice Jason Roberts carried out the horrific crime in Moorabbin in 1998 and how police made their stunning breakthrough in the case following an exhaustive investigation. The telemovie, the first of three Underbelly telemovies to be filmed this year, will feature former Home And Away regular Paul O'Brien as Sen-Constable Miller and Daniel Whyte as Sgt Silk. Head of the investigation detective Supt Paul Sheridan will be played by former A Country Practice and Flying Doctors star Brett Climo, while another former Home and Away actor, Todd Lasance, has signed to play Detective Sgt Dean Thomas. Cast in the roles of the killers are Greg Stone (Debs) and Dimitri Baveas (Roberts). Debs' wife Dorothy is being played by former Neighbours regular Annie Jones and the role of Miller's widow, Carmel Arthur, has been won by ex-Blue Heeler Jane Allsop. The telemovie will reveal how, on a cold Saturday night in August 1998, Silk and Miller were shot dead in a street as they staked out the Silky Emperor restaurant. They were investigating armed robberies in an operation police dubbed Hamada. The Lorimer Taskforce nailed Debs and Roberts after two years of investigation. Work will later begin on Infiltration, a telemovie chronicling the story of Victorian cop Colin McClaren, who risked his life by infiltrating the local arm of the Calabrian mafia. The third Underbelly film, The Man Who Got Away, recounts the tale of British-Australian drug smuggler David McMillan. Source
HAA Girl 08 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 That's great news for Todd! I'm glad he's getting some work here in Aus. Thanks for all the articles.
MasterHolden Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 I hope Underbelly comes out here in the UK. Sounds exciting. This will be Paul O'Brien's first TV appearance since 2009.
