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?

No again to all sorry. When I say I think he was in The Bill, he wasn't a copper, more a suspect Grin

No idea but can you remember anything you might be able to use to get a cast list from IMDB? E.g. if he's been in Midsomer murders can you remember any plot details that could be googled?

I can't remember a thing. I thought he played Manson's FIL in The Bill but it wasn't him. I just picture him in a pin striped suit, smirk on his face and that's about it really. Maybe a bowler hat.

I was thinking of him. Now I'm wondering if the OP means George Cole?
