He's in the trailer running at the moment on channel 4 advertising their teen drama content on all iirc the oc, Beverly Hills 90210, freaks and geeks and one tree hill none of which are shows I'm into. I've tried imdb'ing the shows to no avail

He's one of the last if not the last on the trailer in a dark olive green shirt.

It's one of those things I can't place him but I know as soon as I figure out who he is I'll be kicking myself!

It's driving me nuts!

I know him in an adult role in a show I've watched a lot I'm sure so I think I'm very familiar with him as an actor and I just can't flippin place him!

I know it's a daft thing but it's really bugging me!

I'm sure you guys will help me out

Seth Rogan?

Whatsnewpussyhat · 12/02/2021 21:23

Can you send a link to the trailer/advert?
Had a google but can't find it.

bellagogosdead · 12/02/2021 21:24

I can't find it either, frustrating.

MangoBiscuit · 12/02/2021 21:26

I can't find the advert either. Could you maybe try describing the actor?

IncludeWomenInTheSequel · 12/02/2021 21:32

Take a photo next time it's on and post it

Graphista · 12/02/2021 21:36

I too have tried finding the trailer - also to no avail!

I've tried taking a pic of the actor with my phone when the trailers on and it's just too quick!

actor is white, dark brown hair, I have a feeling he has light eyes? I don't think he's especially tall but not short either, lopsided grin I think, good looking defo would have been a "teen crush" type in whatever teen show he was in, traditional good looks not "secret crush" type, quite a deep voice I think? In my head he has a deep voice.

Jason Segel?

Was in how I met your mother.

itchyfinger · 12/02/2021 21:42

James Franco in freaks & geeks?

Wanderbust · 12/02/2021 21:44

Robert Sheehan from Misfits?

JeSuisPrest · 12/02/2021 21:45

Milo Ventimiglia? Has a very lop sided grin.

PLAYJAJADINGDONG · 12/02/2021 21:46

Nathan from One Tree Hill?

What shows are in the trailer? I can remember The OC and OTH but not the others 🤔

Moomoolandmoomooland · 12/02/2021 21:51

Ryan Eggold? He was in 90210 and had been in the Blacklist and some hospital drama I can't remember the name of!

Adam Brody and Ben Mckenzie were both in the OC and been in other stuff since. Ben Mckenzie was in Gotham.

NeonK · 12/02/2021 21:52

Luke Perry. Confused me for a minute as he died in 2019 so the show must have been recorded a while back.

NeonK · 12/02/2021 21:53

Sorry, maybe not. Luke Perry is in a trailer just now for some detective thing.

JustanotherTuesday · 12/02/2021 21:53

Is it Adam Brody ?

wellthatsunusual · 12/02/2021 21:59

@JustanotherTuesday

Is it Adam Brody ?
That's who I immediately thought of too. He has a lopsided smile doesn't he?

I had a wee Google to see what he does these days and was amazed to discover he's 41. He'll always be Seth Cohen to me.

MyFavouritePlace · 12/02/2021 22:01

Jason Priestley in Private Eyes?

Whatsnewpussyhat · 12/02/2021 22:12

God, I remember watching Jason priestly in teen Angel on Saturday mornings back in the day. He was so pretty!

Joshua Jackson? He's in a few things at the mo. Was in Dawsons Creek.

Pippinlily · 12/02/2021 22:25

Is it Dustin Milligan, Ted from Schitt's Creek? (also in 90210)

Graphista · 12/02/2021 22:28

None of the ones mentioned...and I'm a bit bemused by some people's opinion on "traditionally good looking" Seth rogen??? Jason Segel?? Both of whom I like as actors but definitely not classical good looks!

This is a guy who would've been on many teen bedroom walls I think, Ben mckenzie good looking Adam Brody cute in a geeky charming way but not good looking does that help?

I'm gonna keep trying to find the trailer...I have a an idea that may or may not pan out...

Go onto All4, I'm fairly sure they're running that ad all over on their site.

StarCourt · 12/02/2021 22:44

They are running it on All 4

BetsyBumble · 12/02/2021 22:46

This guy? I don't recognise him at all!!

I have Schitts Creek series linked on E4 so knew I'd probably be able to find the trailer in one of the ad breaks Grin
