Help me place this actor??

[SchrodingersMouse]

I saw him on a train. Can’t for the life of me remember who he is.

He’s a British tv actor, probably in his 50s or early 60s. Grey hair, used to be blonde. Piercing blue eyes. Often plays a hero/ love interest type role.

a bit like Greg wise but shorter!

I feel sure he was in a Sunday night drama or a soap or something but I can’t find him online! It’s driving me mad!

[SchrodingersMouse]

Ok I’m off to do bedtime but keep em coming!

Is this bloke? He's a short arse (but I still would).

I definitely would too, but no. About 20 years older and not as famous

[Oswin]

Nick berry? Have you gone through the heartbeat cast to see if anyone jumps out.

[SchrodingersMouse]

Definitely not Sean bean, sadly

ITV Sunday night level famous

[RedRec]

I was thinking Sean Bean too. But probably too obvious who he is. And think he is quite tall too.
I need to know who it is!

[IdLoveToButCantBeArsed]

He's already been mentioned, but the arms folded thing, Robert Carlyle?

@NigellaSeed

if he looked like Greg wise was it Emma Thompson?

No help but I had this same dilemma with Derek Jacobi on a train once.

Texting everyone I knew. “British. Period drama. No, I think I can see him in a toga. No, white haired” sort of thing until we got there.

For some reason, the toga thing has me howling with laughter 😂😂😂

Neil Stuke? The accent's not right, though.

[ZittiEBuoni]

Christopher Villiers?

[Fingermoose]

Paul Byatt?

5 foot 5

Ooh, that's thrown me

[SchrodingersMouse]

I have definitely seen him on a publicity poster, arms folder, looking powerful, with the Yorkshire dales (or similar) behind him. Which is why you spent so long looking at emmerdale and Corrie. But I can’t find him there (I’ve never been a regular watcher of either so it’s possible I didn’t go far enough back)

Simon Shephard??

Martin Freeman?

Stephen Tompkinson

Gah, I’m so sorry I brought you all in on this

He is very rugged looking, tousled kind of hair. The actor who played max Farnham looks v similar but it’s not him.

He’s trim and short - about 5 foot 5 I’d say
