British actor

[ThankYouForWaiting]

I'm really hoping someone can put me out of misery figuring out who the actor is I'm thinking of, as it is truly taking over my life!
He is a British actor, usually plays middle/upper class. I think he must have been at least 50s in the 90s (massive apologies to him if I'm miles out!), silver hair and moustache. I remember him playing slimy characters but I can't honestly bring one to mind.
I've google imaged for days but can't find him as I'm not too sure on search terms. Please can anyone help?

Wasn't that soap called Revelations ? Not Families?

I had Terence Alexander pegged for this

George Cole/Arthur Daley from Minder.

@ThankYouForWaiting
I am holding you entirely responsible:

It is 10.55 pm, I should be finishing off overdue work and am instead dicking around on a 'Families Appreciation Thread' on Digital Spy...

(I stand corrected, btw, Charles's mistress was apparently called Fiona, not Tara).

Harsh, my friend, very harsh!

Iain Glen?

If you scrunch up your eyes and look at the first picture that the OP posted of Ed Harris, I would've suggested Paul Nicolas!

PC Reg Hollis?

Definitely can’t see the attraction 😂 he’s all yours!

If it makes you feel better my first crush, when I was about 2 or 3, was Peter Sissons from ITN news. I wouldn't lie down for my afternoon nap until News at 1 had started and I'd kissed the TV screen.

I'm glad I clicked on this thread once the mystery was solved as I've never speed read a thread quicker!

Nigel Havers?

I'm just slightly aggrieved that nobody's as outraged as I am that Timothy Dalton wasn't mentioned as Prince Baron in Flash Gordon. Bond who? I recognise the fella OP was actually looking for and now I need to find out what I've seen him in. How do you all remember so many silvery older men's names?

...anyone else have The Bill's themetune stuck in their heads now?

😅😅

Every time one of these threads comes up I always think of the John Michie fiasco. 😆

Blonde, blue-eyed, English actor? John Michie of course!

Families!!!! I defo used to watch that but why?! Shouldn't I have been at school?!?! 😂

Is it Terence Alexander?

Ohhh Families was where my heart first found Oliver Milburn… 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

@Lunde

Poor dude has never looked young.

Fitted the brief of dodgy posh lawyer type characters though, and on these threads generally anyone is worth a shot.

Even Miriam Margolyes

Glad you found him @ThankYouForWaiting . Did you see him in Hustle? Episode called ‘Ties That Bind Us’. At his most awful!

A teenage Jude Law's big break as well.

Yes - but he didn’t get hot till The holiday 😜 Oliver milburn has always been objectificable 😁
