Who is this actor/celebrity it's driving me mad!

So I have a picture in my head of an a celebrity possibly an Eastenders actor- almost certain they're English at least. 30s/early 40s max, reddish brown hair. Looks a bit like Joe Swash but longer hair and a bit moody. I've googled British actors with red hair and Eastenders actors with red hair but I just keep getting Max Branning and Damien Lewis. Who is this person I can't put my finger on it and it's driving me nuts!

Thanks but no... The person I'm thinking of has longer, wavy hair and finer features. Maybe he's not Eastenders! He might not even be an actor.

Samantha Bond.
I mean, I know it isn’t, but the last time I got involved in a thread like this it went on for about 37 pages with OP saying no to every suggestion until deciding it was, actually, Samantha Bond - who had been posited on page 2 but OP hadn’t noticed. So, just putting it out there……/

None of these people so far. I feel like he's the kind of person you would see a lot in Heat or the DM sidebar of shame. He looks a bit like Morse in Endeavour only his hair is darker and redder and maybe a bit younger...like a cross between Morse and Joe Swash!
