Who did Bertie Carvel play in Doctor Foster?
Viewers might recognise Bertie from Doctor Foster, in which he played Suranne Jones’ character Gemma’s troubled husband, Simon Foster.

However, he was saved when Gemma came back to his hotel room and spoke to him. Later, at the very end of the series two finale, the pair were united in fear for their son after he ran away.
What else has he been in besides Doctor Foster?
Bertie Carvel has been in numerous TV productions. His acting credits include Channel 4 crime drama Baghdad Central and BBC One thriller The Pale Horse, both of which aired earlier this year. He was likewise in the 2011 BBC drama Hidden.
