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 already suggested Jerome, and no, not him.

I've searched up what's on at Margate Theatre Royal to see if anyone fitted the bill - but no.

@FlamingoQueen

Mark Letheren?
Ah, I think this might be it....it is bugging me now!
Ducksurprise · 28/10/2021 20:28

On that basis I might suggest Dame Judy Dench. Not an man but does have blue eyes and least is an actor.

Ah but the blue eyes are a fact, the actor bit is, as the op can't identify them, conjecture. So Dench is more likely in my book.
