Thomas Brackenreid

Thomas Brackenreid is one of the original main characters in Murdoch Mysteries and is portrayed by British actor Thomas Craig.

Thomas Brackenreid is the rough and tumble Inspector of the Toronto Constabulary's Station House No. 4. His favorite catchphrases are "Bloody Hell" and "Me Ol' Mucker" followed by a swig of scotch in a tea cup (his one vice). Former army man and far more experienced with the ways of the world than Detective Murdoch and Constable Crabtree, he runs a tight ship bonded by steadfast loyalty. Crusty, he is quite quick to anger and can be very tenacious at times. Surprisingly, he enjoys the opera and theatre like coroner Dr. Ogden and can recite Shakespeare. Thomas is married to Margaret, and has two young sons.
