He is perhaps most renowned for his iconic role as DS Don Beech in the ITV series The Bill, which premiered in 1984, and has also made notable appearances in the popular soap opera EastEnders, where he played the crime boss "Johnnie Allen" in 1985.
Murray's on-screen presence is often underrated, yet his charismatic demeanor and mannerisms have consistently brought depth and edge to the characters he portrays, making him a talented and versatile actor.
Interestingly, Murray was initially set to play the role of Derek "Del Boy" Trotter in the beloved comedy series Only Fools and Horses, but was replaced at the last minute by David Jason due to conflicting production schedules.
