Tom Quinn (Spooks)

Common card · No. 478728

Tom Quinn is a fictional character portrayed by British actor Matthew Macfadyen in the BBC espionage television series Spooks (called MI-5 in the United States). In the first two series, Tom is the chief of Section D, a counter-terrorism division of MI5. During the second series, the producers were unsure whether Macfadyen would return for the third; because of this, Tom was originally killed in the second series finale. However, when Macfadyen decided to appear in the first two episodes of the third series, series writer Howard Brenton had to "unkill him." Reaction towards the character by fans were positive, though critics were mixed about Macfadyen's portrayal. Tom Quinn would later appear again as a cameo on the final episode of Spooks; his brief return was met with generally positive reactions.
