Being a publicity photo of the cast of a television series, that is used in the Wikipedia article of the television series to visualize the cast, there is no possible free equivalent of this image; in fact, there is no known free images available of any actor in this image, save for Stacie Mistysyn (second from left, top row), Pat Mastroianni (second to right, top row) and Amanda Stepto (far right, top row), all of which are of poor quality and cropped from bigger images. Also, one of the subjects of the photograph (Neil Hope, bottom center) is deceased, and he portrayed a prominent and popular character in the series. |
