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!

@BentBastard

Are you sure he's English?
I'm not sure he actually exists beyond my imagination at this stage

Your original description sounds exactly like my friend. He's not a celebrity though. Although he has presented a TV show and been in the papers a few times Grin

Russell Tovey?

I mean that’s assuming it IS an actor OP is thinking of, if it’s just someone you know from the pub I’m going to find it quite difficult to think of any names.Grin

Tom Goodman-Hill?

Not an actor and older, but John Taylor?

I want to say Eric Stoltz even though I know it can't possibly be as he must be getting on for 60 now

Good call though

ZootSuit · 21/09/2021 22:03

Paul Nicholls? He looks quite different now but when he was in Eastenders he fitted your description… although hair might be too dark

James Norton?

Was it the guy who played Ricky Gervais' slimy agent in Extras? Tre Holloway was the character name... he was also in Doctor Foster...

AWiseWomanOnceSaidFuckThisShit · 21/09/2021 22:07

Sorry Tre Cooper! Real name Adam James

I kept thinking Eric Stoltz too but decided he's too old and American. I'll
Kick myself if it's him!

NoWigNoWit · 21/09/2021 22:09

@ZootSuit was also going to suggest him! Had the biggest crush on him when I was a teenager 🤣

JaneJeffer · 21/09/2021 22:09

Are you sure it's not Joe Swash you're thinking of? He was in Eastenders.
