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!

Denis Lawson Is it him?

@GillBiggeloesHair

Marc Warren is pretty hot, just sayin...
Yep.
DaisyNGO · 28/10/2021 20:43

Marc Warren lives near us, we nod hello

I can't think of him on a poster like OP describes and we tend to notice what he's in more than other stuff

He looked totally different last time I saw him and I presume it's for a part.

GlitteryFlaps · 28/10/2021 20:40

I was just about to say Marc Warren!

Or Neil Stuke??

Carl King was Tom Lister.

Marc Warren? I want to win Grin

Imissmoominmama · 28/10/2021 20:39

The one who played Carl King in Emmerdale?

LuckyLucyLoot · 28/10/2021 20:39

My guess was Dean Andrews until I googled Greg Wise and saw that he's nothing like him.

satci · 28/10/2021 20:38

I say opposite him on the train from Margate to London a few years ago....He wasn't very approachable!
