Help me find this actor. Apologies for the obscurity.

[TravellingSpoon]

Pkay so I am currently reading a book and one of the characters is in my head played by an actor I have seen in things but cannot for the life if me think what Injave actually seen him in.

He looks a bit like John Shea or William Defoe, but he is English and had dark curly ish hair.

Please help me. It's been driving me mad for days. I have finished the book and I still cant get it out of my head.

William Dafoe.

But maybe not so much him.

rufus sewell?

Gabriel Byrne? Except he's Irish I think

I think I know exactly who you mean but I can’t remember his name! Thanks for ruining my evening OP

Stephen McGann? From Call the Midwife

Christopher Fairbank?

when he had curly hair

I thought Stephen Rea from your description but he's Irish, how old is the actor you're thinking of ?

John Hannah? (though I think he's actually Scottish not English?)

Stephen Rea?

I'm overly invested in this

What's the book and which character?

Robert Carlyle? Although Scottish. And doesn't have curly hair. So probably not

I thought Stephen Rea (from the crying game) or one of the Mcganns (weren’t there loads of them? Like Baldwin’s?)

John Lynch? Again, he's Irish though.

Stephen Mangan maybe - English and curly hair, though not sure he looks like either of those.

I think Michael Rooker looks like Willem Dafoe but he's American

Its Carl from Blood Orange.

I am sure he is english. It's not any of these people. He has quite a full mouth I think.

Not Stephen Mangan.

Oh bloody hell. Why cant I remember a single thing this man has been in. Maybe he is a figment of my imagination.

Rupert Everett. ?

The only actor I can think of with dark curlyish hair is Dominic West.

violet Paris surely has it!

aneurin barnard ?

He is a welsh actor. Check IMDB

He was also in Dunkirk

Oh yum I love John Shea... (Misses point)

@mynamesmrdiggety are you blind?
