Former Red Rock star Darren Cahill has landed a role on the prestigious series Vikings.

Dishy Darren, 25, previously played the role of doe-eyed killer Davey Webb on the TV3 drama.

The Navan lad will star alongside the likes of Moe Dunford who plays the role of Aethelwulf in the action-packed programme.

Darren will play Aethelred, the son of Aethelwulf, on the period drama which is now in its fifth season.

Playing this character will be Darren’s biggest role to date since his dramatic exit from Red Rock, which has since been broadcast on BBC.

Vikings attracts millions of viewers in Canada, America and Australia so evidently Cahill’s career is going from strength to strength.

He previously told EVOKE that he didn’t see any way back for his former Red Rock character Davey who was Sergeant McKay’s killer.

‘No one knows what the future holds I suppose,’ he said.

But clearly, the future is bright for this Irish actor.
