Randling
In 2012 Merrick and team player Annabel Crabb have formed the 'West Coast Odd Sox' on the word-based quiz show 'Randling'. The ABC1 series hosted and produced by Andrew Denton pits ten amazing teams against each other over 27 rounds of bone-crunching combat. All of it hurtling towards the 2012 Randling Grand Final and the presentation of a trophy!

Underbelly – The Tale of Two Cities
In 2009, Merrick played the character “Mr Asia” (Marty Johnstone), business partner to Terry Clark in the second series of the highly successful Australian crime drama.  But unfortunately, his life is cut short when Terry gives the order to kill him after believing Marty ripped him off.  A very gruesome death scene at the hands of his best mate!

The Hollowmen
In 2008, Merrick played the character Nick, Senior Political Advisor in The Hollowmen, starring alongside Rob Sitch, Santo Cilauro, Lachy Hulme and Neil Melville to name a few.  The Hollowmen is  a comedy-drama satire produced by Working Dog Productions and set in the offices of the Central Policy Unit, a fictional political advisory unit personally set up by the Prime Minister to help him get re-elected.

Series 1 of The Hollowmen first broadcast on the ABC on 9 July 2008 (six half hour episodes), and due to its success, Series 2 followed immediately after. The series also won a TV Week Logie Award for Most Outstanding Comedy Program.
