Police officer swaps his beat for Cannes red carpet after landing top role in Ken Loach film
Police officer Ross Brewster swapped his regular beat for the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival after a chance email led to him starring in Ken Loach’s latest film.
Ross, 47, had signed onto the books of Newcastle-based casting agency NE1 4.TV in 2015 in a bid to play a supporting artist (sometimes known as an ‘extra’) on TV, but because of work commitments never got the chance.
That was until an email from the agency last summer, looking for former or retired policemen, caught his eye.
