Castis plays the role of a doctor who specialises in trauma - and he's much more focused on tactical medical training. 

Castis visits 'Binneland Kliniek' to present a course to get the doctors ready to be able to apply these techniques in the field.

Ironically, Sergio came to Pretoria with his own trauma, because he is actually looking for the man he believes killed his mother during the Angolan war.

Sergio has a theory in his head that the guilty party is Okkie Ferreira (played by Ben Kruger), and he's like a wild dog following a trail of blood - and he does not leave until he has the answers.

Castis joined the Scenic Drive to talk about his new role. 

"Before Binnelanders I was in Los Angelas for some stuff. I was also part of Days Of Our Lives.

"Other than that I was producing, and on stage with my band."

"My first episode aired on Friday. I play Sergio de Frietas and he's looking for some answers..."
