Dale was the older brother and senior partner in Harris and Harris, the meat producing company that had a hidden secret – they were carving the meat out of a living alien creature. Dale was more of a hard man than his brother, but even so, Jack recognised that he was an amateur thug and dealt relatively leniently with him and his brother, retconning him so that he forgot what he had done for several months.

Matt Ryan was born in 1981 in England. He graduated from the Bristol Old Vic in 2003 and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2004.
