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!

I always mistake John Michie for Bradley Walsh! 😆

The first person I thought of when I read this thread was Martin Clunes. Even though he's not short, not northern and to my recollection, hasn't got blue eyes, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wouldnt worry - neither does John Michie have any of those features Grin

It's hilarious how many people have seen John Michie out and about and had to rack their brains (and all the brains on this thread) as to who he was Grin

Richard Grieve? My daughter saw him once and it took us ages to name him!

I came on here to say John Michie because I saw him at Center Parcs and I spent three weeks trying to figure out who he was!

I don’t want to sound harsh but please -NEVER offer to describe someone for a police investigation, line up or photo-fit...!

@SchrodingersMouse

I’m gobsmacked that John Michie is 5’11’

www.john-michie.co.uk/factfile.htm

But he does live in Folkestone apparently so that explains why he was on a train to Kent (although not to Folkestone!!!)

I am very sorry for misleading people. It honestly wasn’t on purpose. I could have sworn he was short and had blue eyes Blush

I did this a couple of months ago asking to place a red haired actor possibly off Eastenders, posters kindly suggested every red haired actor in the country for me and it turned out to be a chef off the great British menu Blush your mind plays tricks on you!

It’s just as well we threw tall brunettes with brown eyes at you. 🤓
