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

Thank you @RachelsPeeves !You genius!!!!
Also I thought i had posted this last night

Anyway also I used to LOVE the Liver Birds when I was little and LOVED both the main characters
Aww that's sweet
Thanks everyone
I knew Mumsnet wouldn't fail me 😊

Ah sorry it was on the second page that Adam James was named but I missed it as I'm usually asleep by 9.30
I keep saying his name now
My DH said "Oh, Adam James, why didn't you say, yes of course I know who he is."
EXCEPT YOU DIDNT

That’s who I immediately thought of but he’s not blonde though.

Paul Nicholls?

Please tell us about Julian Rhind Tutt. I absolutely loved him in Blandings.
He's never a wrong 'un is he?

Sorry, I've never met him - I was referring to someone else's post who said they'd had a negative experience

Finally read the full thread now!

And did you know his godfather was JON PERTWEE ...

I always love these threads on MN.

Jon Pertwee is his godfather?!
My mind is blown
Also those saying he's not blond, great, so I'm colour blind too 😫

I am going with Strawberry Blonde!

Also loved him in HOTEL PORTOFINO ...

HTH

Not overly tall or short, slim. Blondish curly hair. I pictured him being in regency style outfit and being a bit of a wet blanket. A little bit like the bloke from Amadeus but not him.

@DopeyS

Are you thinking of the fabulous TOM HOLLANDER in PRIDE & PREJUDICE perhaps ...

Trying to add links ... apologies having issues ...

@DopeyS

Trying again ...

Joshua Maguire?

Ah, I knew it was him! He’s always the annoying, posh, caddish friend. I just couldn’t remember what his name was or what I’d seen him in!

This was my initial thought as well

Adam James is always the baddie. Even if he's playing a posh cad, he's also got a body in the boot of his car.

Death in paradise guy also played nick on my family.
Goofy looking but a very good actor

Kris Marshall?

He's a bit like him, similar personality but slimmer in the face and lighter coloured hair. I'd say he's probably late 40s early 50s age. Tom Hollander vibes but I
I'd have recognised him. It was near a tube station in London about 3 years ago and has bugged me since. I can picture him but so hard to describe. There should be a way to Google an image from your head 🤣

Ah, OK. Wouldn't have got that as I wouldn't say he had curly hair! Oddly, I've seen Grantchester, I May Destroy You and The Buccaneers but don't remember him in any of them. I mainly associate him with Vigil.

Christopher Villiers
There's also another actor who looked similar when younger but can't think of his name

Rafe spall?

I thought Samuel was red haired.

Johnny Flynn?
