Who is in the cast of Vienna Blood?
Max Liebermann – Matthew Beard
Vienna Blood follows the story of English doctor Max Liebermann played by 30-year-old actor Matthew Beard.
In the first episode, Liebermann starts to find out more about a particular case after watching the Vienna Police Department struggle to crack it.
Beard is arguably best known for his role as British mathematician Peter Hilton in The Imitation Game which also starred Benedict Cumberbatch.
Speaking to Teen Vogue about his part in the film, he said: “Peter was the youngest of the code-cracking team, which was good for me as a young actor.
“He was learning his field and was put with all these experts. I felt like that as an actor, so the parallels were uncanny.”

Actor Maurer is the Detective Inspector leading the investigation for the unusual case in the first episode.
When Liebermann sees he is struggling, the English doctor steps in to help.
Speaking to the BBC about the Detective Inspector, he said: “Everything in my life is so much easier than it was or is in Oskar’s life but I have lots of compassion with him.
“I think he’s a good man, he’s troubled and a sad character but I like his convictions.
“I like the way he thinks about justice and social justice, especially the way he has a problem with authority is something I feel connected to, so I think we stand quite near to each other!”
Credits for the Austrian actor include Vorstadtweiber, Tatort and Harrinator.
Rachel Liebermann – Amelia Bullmore
Bullmore also stars in the mini-series as the doctor’s mum.
Most recently, Bullmore has featured in BBC and HBO drama Gentleman Jack as Eliza Priestley.
She has also been in Happy Valley, Jekyll & Hyde and Scott and Bailey.
When talking about the Liebermann family, she said: “They are a bourgeois Jewish family.
“Moved from England and running a successful fabric emporium.
“The adults are not seeing the world as Max does and are more conservative in their outlook.
“They do not see the threats that he sees, and is right to see.”
