In an AACTA and Logie award-winning role, Richard Roxburgh stars as the reckless but brilliant barrister Cleaver Greene in Rake. Cleaver Greene is one of life’s great addicts. Whether it’s women, gambling or drugs, Cleaver can resist everything except temptation. His other addiction is the law – defending those who seem to be beyond redemption – society’s hopeless: our sex offenders, our murderers, our cannibals. Not one to be out done, Cleaver traverses the underbelly of the legal world to join the nations leaders in the Senate. Over five series, Richard Roxburgh is joined by regular cast members Adrienne Pickering, Russell Dykstra, Matt Day and Danielle Cormack as well as a host of guest stars including Hugo Weaving, Jane Turner, Sam Neill, Rachel Griffiths, Toni Collette, Anthony LaPaglia, Jack Thompson, Garry McDonald, Cate Blanchett, Justine Clarke and Miriam Margolyes.
