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.

Do you mean Ioan Gruffud? Sp?

TravellingSpoon · 08/06/2020 19:01

No, no, no. I do think I have made him up

He isnt a massive actor. Think more ITV drama than big blockbuster.

The more I think about his face the harder it is to see him, like a dream.

And he is older than some of these, definitely 40s.

Have no idea who OP might be thinking of, but DAMN Rufus Sewell is beautiful. Astonishes me every time I see a picture of him.

TravellingSpoon · 08/06/2020 19:57

Okay I am thinking he looks very much like a mixture between Paul McGann and John Shea. Forget Willam Dafoe.
