Help me place this actor??

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!

You sure he doesn’t just work in the local Tesco, so that’s why he looks familiar.

rosegoldwatcher · 28/10/2021 22:08

James Purefoy?

soundsg00d · 28/10/2021 22:11

Andrew Buchan ?

@catfunk

Why are people posting young men with black hair - the complete OPPOSITE Grin
The same reason they’re saying loads of Southern actors even though OP said northern accent
Cuck00soup · 28/10/2021 22:11

@Polmuggle

Dan Stevens? Guy from Downton Abbey
That’s my guess too
AmDillDandin · 28/10/2021 22:14

It wasn't this guy was it?

Is it Marc Warren? Used to be in Hustle or Hustlers - that show about con artists. Looks like this:

Philip Glenister?

Not the ravishingly gorgeous Shaun Evans is it? He's blond but on the turn to grey, Northern and often in Sunday night dramas.

Exactly what I was going to say! OP will wake in the night and realise the man on the train was familiar because he was her geography teacher or is the postman. Then she’ll check this thread and realise half of MN has been up all night googling Margate based thesps and will be expecting answers Grin
Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 28/10/2021 22:19

Shaun Evans is 41, so probably not.

balloonsintrees · 28/10/2021 22:21

Sam West (currently in All Creatures Great and Small which may fit the Yorkshire Dales Sunday night vibe)

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 28/10/2021 22:22

Kanye West?

The piercing eyes makes me think of Malcolm McDowell. But I’m not sure he ever did a turn in Emmerdale…

Palavah · 28/10/2021 22:29

Neil Stuke is a good shout - not tall, lives in Kent, has been ill, used to be in Game On.
