English. Grey slightly wavy hair. Unsure of current age, but he has to be 70s. In my mind he was on TV about 20 years ago and had grey hair then. TV actor. Played a part in a TV comedy. Wore a grey suit. Charismatic. He played a politician, I think, or a similar role where he had to report to someone. He wasn't in Yes Minister though, which was my first thought. I can picture him so clearly! But I have no idea from where!

Belfast. Not Dublin. Just in case he reads this and doubts my veracity 🤣🤣🤣

Another one for Anthony Head.

🙋🏻‍♀️

I’ve met ASH on an EasyJet flight to Dublin of all places. We both had speedy boarding and sat opposite each other in the front row.

I quizzed him on David Boreanaz. Probably not my finest hour.

Can confirm, indeed, he is lovely. Even to fans of people who aren’t him 😅

Charles dance?

He came to my house once. To film a scene for a tv show.

My dsis went out for a long time in the 90s with a Charles dance clone. He was even called Charles.

Anthony Andrews?

This thread was started yesterday and solved yesterday. You can see this easily by reading all the OP's posts, even if you don't read the full thread.

IT'S ANTHONY HEAD!

I soggily sat on ASH’s lap on the way home from riding years ago ( he’d just got the coffee advert job, that long!) - he’d gone riding with my cousin and me and my aunt ( who had driven them) took the dog for a walk. Dog fell in the Thames and I went in to “rescue” her, ending up covered in mud and stinky water as well and we only partially dried off when we went home. He was very nice about having a star struck 9 year old sitting on him 😂😂

Peter Egan? He's HOT! Or maybe John Standing?

Trevor Eve?

Oh just realised you got it. Anthony Head! Lol

After binge-watching Buffy over the lockdowns, my teenage kids (who have seen it for the first time) declared they would like Giles/ASH to be their dad. Should I consider this option? I'm single.

Anthony Head was my first ever Frank in Rocky Horror - and until David Bedella was my favourite.
