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.

You sure it's not Dominic west? He's been in a few dramas.

A McGann? There's 4. Joe, Stephen, Someone, and Someone else.

How could you forget Paul - the most talented and best looking one? Grin

NO, not Dominic West. He is too much of a big actor. This guy is more smaller parts.

Ben Aldridge, David Tennant? Never realised how many curl, dark haired actors there once you start thinking about it. Wink

It's not Bertie Carvell playing Jonathan Strange is it? He's unrecognisably different in everything he does. But in this he looks like a cross between McGann and Shea
