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

Sorry cross posted
Just saw that you'd found who he is

Polly James! I just looked them both up. I always think it's a bit weird when one person's imbd record shows their relative, and it doesn't happen the other way. Her entry says, 'mother of actor Adam James'. His doesn't mention her.

Rupert Penry-Jones

So glad it’s Adam James. Read your description and when you said ‘cad’ I knew it would be him. Fun fact - he has a very small part as Glinda’s dad in Wicked.

I never would’ve guessed Adam James from the description. I know him from The Bucaneers.

I was coming to say Adam James then saw your update! I always call him ‘Rupert Farley-Pointless’ as he’s referred to in an episode of Miranda!😂

I have one with someone I glimpsed walking in London. Was about 3 years ago now and still not worked out who I saw 🤣

Ditto - his hair is reddish blonde I think.

I knew exactly who you meant from your description! Glad somebody knew his name 😂😂

He is Australian, you're right.

You might enjoy this:

For years, I thought Adam James was another actor (maybe Patrick Baladi, but they don't actually look that similar). Adam must have one of those versatile faces.

Mind you, I also thought Lydia Leonard was Sian Clifford, so I'm clearly not good at telling people apart.

Elliot Cowan?

*Didnt update the thread.

Adam James is married to the woman who played Harmony Parker in the Queen’s Nose some years ago. I loved that as a kid.

Go on then - what did he look like?

I once described Nick Frost as a pie-eating Patrick Baladi!

Johnny Flynn ?

Loved him in Silk. He made a fab barrister.

This was my first thought... I had a huge crush on Mr Bingley as a teenager 😀 then I saw sense and it was Mr Darcy all the way

Though I don't think he's been in much and actually left the profession about 20 years ago to train as a teacher. He's now an assistant head!

Kris Marshall ?

Having a crush on Bingley is pretty sweet

He's doing some sort of pride & prejudice reunion with Susannah Harker this year, saw a vid on social media the other day

Should of read the f*cking thread 🤣

he was in 2 eposides of the bbc show hustle and it was a pickle of a character so to speak

hes better in spooks as mi5

😂I see what you mean!
