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!

Well, when I saw an actor on a train years ago and couldn’t place him, it turned out to be Dean Andrews. I’m not sure he plays love interests, but I think he does have blue eyes.

Aargh, thank you all but it’s none of these I’m afraid!

He has a cleft chin

Douglas Henshall... of Primeval and Shetland.

I only say that cos we saw him on a train once, I did a "s'uuup" gesture, cos obviously I recognised him and thought he might be someone I knew and then when we sat down DH said who it was.
I also di the same for Cleo Rocas (Canary Wharf....I thought she was someone I knew from another parenting group) and the one who is not Bob Mortimer....I thought he...ohhh Vic Reeves, was someone from the hotel we were staying at when i saw him at a tube station.
