I saw him on a train. Can’t for the life of me remember who he is.

He’s a British tv actor, probably in his 50s or early 60s. Grey hair, used to be blonde. Piercing blue eyes. Often plays a hero/ love interest type role.

a bit like Greg wise but shorter!

I feel sure he was in a Sunday night drama or a soap or something but I can’t find him online! It’s driving me mad!

Ian Glen by any chance? Or has he been discounted already?

This thread really has jumped the shark when it's gone from suggestions of Jerome Flynn to Simon bloody baker?!!

Australian guy from the Mentalist, or perhaps a cast member from Emmerdale…that might be the right accent ?

Seeing some of the actors now, has freaked me out.
My memory of some of them is seriously dated to 20 plus yrs ago.

Then I look in the mirror and sigh/ remember 😆
