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!

Do we think the OP has drowned under a sea of “Posh Leeds” based short actors? Or has her wifi has buckled under the strain of 650 guesses (and counting). I haven’t read all of them but my god how many Philip Glennister suggestions have there been!
