Who is the actor I'm thinking of...going mad

[Cantwait4weightloss]

You lot are good at this
I've googled, tried Chat Gpt all to no avail
He's British, blond, sort of curly hair and sounds posh
He's been in loads of things but never as the main character I don't think but he's instantly recognisable
I thought he was in One Day the film with Anne Hathaway but turns out no
He's the type of actor who is in Death in Paradise and stuff like that
I'm starting to wonder if I've just imagined him
It's doing my head in
He usually plays caddish sort of characters
Any ideas?
Sorry I've not provided much detail

👀
Did you know him in the...biblical sense?

Everything! He was in Miranda and he’s just been in The Couple Next Door plus loads more I can’t remember, always the same type of character

As soon as I saw the description I knew who it was... Scrolled all the way to bottom to see if you'd found out yet ! He always plays similar parts!

Heath Ledger? Although he was Australian.

Oliver Chris?

oh I knew him in real life in the early 2000's, he is absolutely awful.

From your description I knew who you meant but couldn’t remember his name! I then realised I didn’t know he was called Adam James!

Haha Adam James was EXACTLY who I pictured when I read your post but I couldn’t remember his name either!

Sort of… close enough. He behaved like an absolute prick to me though, and I’d almost forgotten about it until just now when his name was mentioned. Ha!

I was literally thinking of Adam James! Doctor Foster, Vigil. Married to the girl who was in the queens nose

Ah, as you say disappointing!

Likewise re Julian Rhind Tutt.

He was the drug dealer in the first episode of Ashes to Ashes and also on the Vigil submarine (as a surprise good guy, I think).

And in doctor Foster I think

Shame huh.
I had a very cool job in the 90’s that brought me into contact with loads of celebs on a daily basis, so I’ve met quite a lot of famous people. Some lovely and down to earth and some total dicks. I think my favourite is a toss up between Sharlene Spiteri and Westlife who were absolute dolls.
We got up to all sorts, I’m so glad there weren’t cameras and social media around in those days…!

Johnny Flynn?

Did you know him too? This thread is getting very interesting! I’m very invested..

oh whoops - was not expecting Adam James!!

Nooo someone mentioned it above. Knew his cousin though, who was lovely

And his mother was a Liver Bird (you might need to ask your mother), which I only found out just now.

Oh for goodness sake, he's ginger not blond! Glad you're sorted though.

Never heard of him, didn't recognise him and never seen anything he's been in.
Clearly I don't watch enough telly😄

Wasn’t Adam James in the brilliant Dr Foster series with Suranne James, too?

I didn’t know who he was so googled - he’s Polly James’ son! She was Beryl in The Liver Birds!

Paul Curran

@GinToBeginooh, Polly James? Never knew that!
