Who is in the Code 404 cast?

Stephen Graham as DI Roy Carver

Stephen Graham, 46, has had numerous major roles, such as the This is England film in 2006 and its television sequels in 2010, 2011 and 2015.

He is currently appearing in the ongoing Sky series Save Me Too as convicted sex offender Fabio “Melon” Melonzola.

In Code 404 he is one half of DI Inspector duo, Roy Carver.

Speaking about his character, Graham told RadioTimes: “Major gets killed straight away… and then Roy’s kind of left on his own and a year goes by and he’s been moved right down the ranks because he realises he’s not that good without Major. It’s a proper double act.”

The 42-year-old, who starred in Line of Duty, plays the wife of DI John Major and explained how she ended up with his friend DI Carver.

She added: “Also, I’m retraining to be a psychotherapist and get my life back a bit. It becomes clear I wasn’t very happy with my marriage when John was alive, and that’s all a bit confusing for me and Stephen’s character, Roy.

“John just thinks we’ll be together as we were before, not knowing that I’ve changed and moved on. And also, he’s a bit of an idiot.
