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!

@Palavah

Can you think of what kind of voice he has? Accent? What type of character does he normally play?
He’s got a soft northern accent I think, like posh Leeds or something

Good, I'd be jealous if you'd met Robson Green.
Jonathan Kerrigan?

Nick Berry but he was dark, Mark Jorden but he was tall.

Good guesses but it’s neither of them. Robson green is definitely in the same kind of tv shows
