Hal

Hal (Damien Molony) is a vampire born in the late 15th century to a prostitute in a brothel but he has claimed he didn´t know which was his mother but loved them all nevertheless. He was turned in the Battle of Orsha by his commanding officer. Since meeting best friends Leo (a werewolf) and Pearl (a ghost) in 1955, Hal has managed to stay off the blood by sticking to a rigid structure and keeping away from all people. Coming to Honolulu Heights is a huge disruption for Hal. And he doesn’t cope well with disruption. At first, Hal – the stand-offish, posh vampire – and Tom – the common, feral werewolf – find themselves at loggerheads, but once a mutual respect is gained, we see this odd couple become close.

Tomas McNair

Thomas McNair (Michael Socha) was a young twenty-something werewolf, living a nomadic life in a camper van with his adopted father McNair. Their lifestyles as itinerant vampire killers has left Thomas socially isolated and dreaming of making a family with "the pack" of werewolves whom McNair claims exist somewhere. Although Thomas had lived his life believing that he was McNair's son, born a werewolf (and that his mother had died during a vampire attack), Nina's subsequent examination of his blood revealed that he was actually the child of a random couple McNair had attacked during an early transformation in Cornwall. McNair subsequently took him in out of conscience as he realised that he had 'infected' the boy with the werewolf 'contagion'. Although he was briefly attracted to Nina, he pushed this aside after he learned the truth about the nature of the 'wolf'. Initially angry at McNair for lying to him about his past, the two appeared to reconcile after McNair and Mitchell rescued Thomas, George and Nina from a cage-fight, although he seems to be more interested in making his own way.[10] Following McNair's death at the hands of Herrick, Thomas is once again orphaned. Despite McNair's last wish being that Thomas does not carry on his adoptive father's feud against vampires, the grief-stricken Thomas pursues Herrick and Mitchell to avenge McNair's death, killing at least two vampires along the way, although he is prevented from taking full vengeance due to a Mexican stand-off involving a threat to George.

Following McNair’s death, Tom stays in Barry and is welcomed into Honolulu Heights, putting his nomadic life and his mission to kill all vampires (mostly!) behind him, and trying to learn to live like a human, love like a human and fight like a human.

New Faces In Season 4 Being Human(UK)

Paths and Turning Points

"We knew this year was going to be especially tough because of the various cast changes," Whithouse wrote last week in his blog. "Not only would it be our first series without Aidan, but Russell had decided his "Being Human" journey was also coming to an end. The mountain before us seemed even higher than usual.

A New Team

Damien Molony as Hal


Michael Socha as Tom

"The thing I'm most proud of is the new set of characters," Whithouse wrote. "Damien Molony joins the team as Hal. Hand on heart, I think he's one of the most exciting and versatile actors of his generation. Watching his performance grow over the filming was a joy. Then there's Michael Socha. Promoted from semi-reg to lead cast. If you thought he was good in Series 3, you ain't seen nothing yet. Michael will break your heart this year. And of course beautiful Lenora. Our star. The heart of the show. And this year she gives a truly breathtaking performance."

The Eve of War

Season 4 also looks to escalate the fight against the vampire contingent. But the stories won't be wall-to-wall war, as Hal, Annie, and Tom will also be encountering "a sort-of new kind of supernatural" creature, according to Whithouse's veiled blog commentary.

The supporting cast for this new era is also new names leavened by the occasional familiar face from the show's past. Several castin decisions have been announced, including:

•Doctor Who writer and Sherlock star and co-creator Mark Gatiss,
•Harry Potter's Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) as a character named Regus,
•Craig Roberts (Submarine) reprising his role as teen vampire Adam from season 1,
•Alex Jennings (Prince Charles in The Queen),
•James Lance (No Heroics, Teachers),
•Alex Griffin as Griffin,
•Andrew Gower as Cutler,
•Amanda Abbington (Case Histories),
•Selina Griffiths (Benidorm), and
•Ellie Kendrick (Upstairs Downstairs, Anne in the recent Masterpiece miniseries The Diary of Anne Frank).

Casting on Being Human UK Series 4

According to The Oxford School of Drama, Andrew Gower has been cast as a lead character. He will playing a vampire called Cutler, so I would assume that he is either Mitchell's 'replacement' or, more likely, will be of the Old Ones who we first saw towards the end of last series
