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!

John Michie isn't grey and wasn't previously blond 🤷♀️
Might suggest MN Towers change the thread title to "Please identify this person I saw but I'm going to completely mislead you about"

Reminds me of that scene from Only Fouls and Horses....😆
DedalusBloom · 29/10/2021 20:48
He looks nothing like Mark Bonnar and I am squinting A LOT

He's Scottish!!!!
You said posh Leeds!!!
Those accents couldn't be further apart!

5'5", blue eyes and northern
=
6', brown eyes and Scottish
This thread is everything
He is a handsome fella though that but was correct!

@butterpuffed
I’m started to think the OP might have actually just seen an entirely non famous chap on her train because the description given really doesn’t match the answer. I mean John Michie can’t have shrunk a foot, developed a new accent, had surgery to fill in his cleft chin and changed eye colour can he?

@hotmeatymilk
🤣🤣🤣 he would have been the last person I'd have thought of!
here is an almost infinite amount of slightly attractive middle aged men who grace our TVs.
What a damning indictment of British celebs
Thank you @SchrodingersMouse for keeping us all entertained!!
butterpuffed · 29/10/2021 20:29
Are you sure it's him ? You said 5' 5" , he's 6 foot !
satci · 29/10/2021 20:25
I'm so pleased you've found him. I think it was his daughter who died from dodgy drugs at a festival. A young girl if I remember correctly.
SchrodingersMouse · 29/10/2021 20:22
I think I may have never actually seen him n anything, just seen him in photos. Maybe I thought he was northern because of Corrie. I did say ‘soft northern’ … in my defence
Llioed · 29/10/2021 20:22
Poor John Michie lost his daughter didn’t he? Really sad.
Glad you finally found who he is, OP.
DameMaureen · 29/10/2021 20:21
He 's got brown eyes ...
hotmeatymilk · 29/10/2021 20:21
Oh thank god. But OP, I hope you’re never called on as a witness to a crime and have to give a description of the suspect…
Idontcareboutthestateofmyhair · 29/10/2021 20:20
Blue eyes??? 🤣 Very northern accent..he's Scottish lol

@BeenNeverSeen
Oh jesus fucking Christ have I gone mad? I might have gone mad
SchrodingersMouse · 29/10/2021 20:19
He definitely does in real life. Unless he was wearing coloured contact lenses?!
BeenNeverSeen · 29/10/2021 20:19
John Michie has brown eyes😂
SchrodingersMouse · 29/10/2021 20:19
Thank you thank you thank you everyone
I have discovered there is an almost infinite amount of slightly attractive middle aged men who grace our TVs.
