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.

Ooh what about Joe Armstrong, Alun Armstrong's son?

So Ben Chaplin is the closest but it isnt him, I am sure of it.

The other guy looks very similar though.

Robert Lindsay in Citizen Smith?

Matthew Rhys? Richard Harrington?

Reaching here because he's young and Irish (again) but Robert Sheehan?

Tony Gardner?

Jeremy Irons?

Alex Jennings ?

Julian Barratt?

I'm enjoying looking at lots of actors with dark curly hair on your behalf.


Younger Dougray Scott?

Somebody nudge me when we've identified the man who's a Paul McGann/John Shea hybrid please, it sounds like my new happy place.

Ben Wishaw? maybe not fitting your age bracket though

Alastair Mackenzie?

Tom Ellis?

Paul Ready?
He was in Bodyguard (and shameless name drop....I actually know him irl )

James Darcy?

Tobias Menzies? Not curly hair but was who came to mind when I looked up John Shea (had to google him).

Nigel from eastenders 😬

(And am also enjoying the thread. Love a man with dark, curly hair!)

No clue who half these people are...but a young Greg Wise??

Stephen Moyer?

Douglas Hodge?

Or James Purefoy?
