His next role was as a slick talking and shonky car salesman in the delightful The Big Steal (1990), however Bisley was back on the side of good in the prime rating TV series _"Police Rescue" (1990)_. Bisley continued to keep busy in the 1990s with great performances in many TV productions such as _"Halifax f.p: Sweet Dreams" (1996)_, Frontline (1994) and four years as tough detective "Jack Christey" in Brigade des mers (1996).A key actor in the growth of Australian cinema and TV for nearly three decades.
