Patrick Brammall

Look, I think the cast of this is really impressive.

So Patrick Brammall is Ian Ridley.

Most of us have seen him from Colin McCouts and, and those sort of things.

He's actually mo- mo- more known, I suspect, for sort of comedic acting.

That's the bottom line here.

And, um, it all k- kicks off because they've discovered the body of a little girl the same age as the little girl that went missing.

So just to add some more, his ex-wife has married a police officer, which gives Patrick Brammall's character a lot of access to the police still.

I [laughs] as I said, great production values.

... uh, is worth a mention as well.

Also a little bit harrowing, starring Patrick Brammall and Brendan Cowell, and, and they were discussing it and praising it, and it wasn't in, uh, until sort of well into the review that they mentioned [laughs] that it was made in Australia.

And-

Oh

Yeah.

It's what we talked about when Pat- we had Patrick Brammall on.

We were talking about Colin from Accounts, and I said one of the things I love about Colin is it has such a broad spectrum of humor.

Yeah.

I looked him up, and I'm going to find his name because he's actually brilliant.

In Last Seen the actor in it, his name is Patrick Brammall.

Brammall.

And he was in the...

I bring her up because today's guest was smooching her in the first film she released this year, The Devil Wears Prada 2.

I am speaking, of course, of Patrick Brammall, the actor and writer who you most likely know from co-creating and co-starring in Australian comedy Colin From Accounts with his wife Harriet Dyer.

That show concluded its three-season run last month, and Patrick quickly followed that up with Apple TV miniseries Last Seen, which is very, very intense.

And perhaps most important to the canon of this podcast, he once played the absentee husband on Paramount+ drama Evil, where he received one of the most insane B plots in contemporary TV history.

We talk about all of that and the fact that his eldest child is entirely nonplussed by the fact that he occasionally provides voice work on Bluey.

Kids have no respect.

All right, here's Patrick Brammall.

[upbeat music] Patrick, what a pleasure to have you.

Here's the cool thing, and Angelo, I know you're gonna know the guy.

So it stars Patrick Brammall as Ian Ridley.

He's a police dispatcher.

Angelo, I believe you, you've recommended this show, Colin, from accounts?
