^Caveat- I've been searching myself with no joy to the stage I'm wondering if it's a false memory!
^
I was at a wedding recently and met someone who instantly reminded me of an actor, but I cannot for the life of me work out who. This is what (I think) I know:

  • I'm imagining him as a young adult age (18-30), in a relatively modern film/TV programme (last 10 years or so)
  • Slim, Caucasian, brown curly hair, handsome 'cheeky' face
  • I think the programme I'm thinking of is comedy like or at least not really serious
  • English or American

Not a million miles from Robert Sheehan

Please help!

www.imdb.com/name/nm0746583/ Nicolas Rowe - was in Young Sherlock Holmes and then the Crown recently.

Accidently went on holiday with him once, knew I knew him from somewhere, decided it was work and spent the week saying hello only to get home, watch the Crown and realise.

I thought of the younger actor from Outnumbered, Kris Marshall or any of the Thomas Brothers (one played Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street) and his other brothers have been in different TV Shows.
