He rose to fame playing Vinnie Paterson on Home and Away, then struck it big as Jason Stackhouse on True Blood.
But now, 41-year-old Australian actor Ryan Kwanten will play a dirty cop who is on the take in new Crackle series The Oath.
Promoting the show on Monday, the hunky actor sported a rugged look as he hit the red carpet with co-stars Katrina Law and Elisabeth Röhm in Los Angeles.

The actor’s smouldering good looks on full display, with his sleek back hair revealing his youthful skin, delicate features, and soulful brown eyes, which gained him a legion of admirers.
Although Ryan is usually partial to flaunting his ripped physique, the actor opted for a fully-clothed look for the event.
He cut a casual figure in a loose off-white shirt and distressed black jeans.
The actor completed his pared-down look with a pair of brown boots.

According to the website: ‘The problem is, someone’s caught on to their dealings and wants them to stop ‘cops on the take working with high-level drug dealers.’ The alternative is jail. So, the Ravens must play the game until they can figure a way out.
The role is yet another break for the Aussie in LA, and appears to be a marked difference from his True Blood role, which saw him flash a lot of skin in raunchy sex scenes with Alexander Skarsgård.
Visiting Australia in 2016, the blonde Swede joked about the star, telling The Project: “Ryan Kwanten is surprisingly a good kisser actually,” he said.

Anther break: Produced by 50 Cent, the starring role is another big break for the actor, who got his start on the Australian soap Home & Away
‘He’s very tender. You wouldn’t think it because he’s kind of a tough guy but very soft, gentle, tender touch’, he continued.
The Oath will premiere all 10 episodes of its first season on Crackle on Thursday, March 8.

New direction: It’s a change of pace for the actor, who starred on TruBlood with Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, with the pair sharing many raunchy scenes
