David Budd.

He sacrificed everything including his own life for justice; especially when Julia Montague died, apart from the love affair with Julia, David really with or without the help of the police brought the case to an end.

Although during the filming of the TV series Bodyguard, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, Richard still worked well. As a result, he has won 3 awards in different events and received many nominations.
