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!

As long as she doesn't mean Gregg Wallace! Grin

@hotmeatymilk

Thing is, the OP says he's now grey-haired, used to be blond, but looks like Greg Wise. But he was never blond, was he? Maybe she actually meant Greg Kinnear? In which case, scratch all the suggestions and let’s start again.
Or Ernie Wise?
