With Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/a>\u2018s Kevin McKidd and Boiling Point<\/a>\u2018s Vinette Robinson at its helm, Six Four follows the pair\u2019s characters, Chris and Michelle O\u2019Neill as they investigate their daughter\u2019s disappearance. But what is their own personal worst nightmare soon turns into a case wrapped up with another mysterious, unsolved case that has divided the police, as well as politics, kidnap and corruption.<\/p>\n Ahead of the drama\u2019s release, McKidd spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about his new leading role, highlighting that part of the joy of shooting Six Four was returning to his native Scotland and dipping his toe back into British crime dramas. He said: \u201cIt was nice to be on home territory, back on the home pitch, as it were. There were a lot of real positives to it.\u201d<\/p>\n The role is McKidd\u2019s first time playing a police officer and when asked about whether it was daunting at all, he said: \u201cIt didn\u2019t feel daunting. I think I was strangely a little bit nervous because I\u2019ve been playing an American character for so long, I was like \u2018Are people going to buy my Scottish accent?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBut within a few days of being back in Glasgow, within a day actually, it felt like I hadn\u2019t left. It was a very joyful experience to be honest. It was interesting playing a police officer.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n McKidd swaps his usual Grey\u2019s Anatomy scrubs and white surgeon\u2019s coat for a typical detective\u2019s crinkled, worn suit in Six Four, marking a major change of pace for the actor. To really immerse himself in the role, McKidd said: \u201cI spent some time with a Scottish detective, followed him a little bit and got inside his head \u2013 something I\u2019ve never done before. It was a very joyful experience on the whole.\u201d<\/p>\n As for Six Four as a series in general, McKidd added that the drama, which is inspired by the best-selling novel by Hideo Yokoyama, is a complicated treat for all. He explained: \u201cIt\u2019s very tightly written, quite complicated, you can\u2019t just have it on in the background.<\/p> \u201cOne of our inspirations for this was Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy \u2013 that kind of very layered, complex thriller mystery. It\u2019s very human. At the heart of it is my character, Chris O\u2019Neill, and Michelle, Vinette\u2019s character, and how they\u2019re struggling through the worst nightmare that any parent could go through, which is their daughter, their only child, going missing and we don\u2019t know where she is.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cIt\u2019s very dynamic, intense and I think it keeps people on the edge of their seat. When I read it, I couldn\u2019t turn the pages quick enough to find out what was going to happen. Every cliffhanger and twist leads beautifully to the next one, a very satisfying four-part drama for people to really get their teeth into and puzzle over and discuss.\u201d<\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/sixfouritvkevinvinette-ccf2915.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
