Tom Ellis as Samuel Horrocks, a 19th century Preston mill-owner and mayor facing a dilemma which mirrors that of Pontius Pilate: an authority figure who must decide the fate of a radical leader. In 1842 in Preston the mayor faced social unrest triggered by mill workers striking over pay. Real events inspire this retelling in the context of The Preston Passion.
