Like most Bill actors Steven has appeared in The Bill before, he has had two separate roles, one as a murdering security guard and the other as a Detective Inspector sent on a training course with John Boulton and Reg Hollis.

Trivia: Steven Hartley was in an episode of The Bill in 1998 called "Under The Grill" as a Detective Inspector.

"Boulton pursuades Hollis to help him settle an old score during an interview training course."

The episode is quite funny and Boulton really gets back at the geezer with the help of Reg.
