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!

@hotmeatymilk

Are we just naming random men now who don’t fit the OP’s description at all?

Michael Sheen. Idris Elba. Jimmy Krankie.

😂😂😂
SchrodingersMouse · 28/10/2021 22:39

I can’t believe it’s none of these people. Also definitely not someone from the local Tesco’s. I wasn’t the only one on the train who noticed him.

Age- about 60 now I guess. Probably slightly past his prime/ fame

I’ve even been scrolling through british tv programmes on Netflix!

So I would say he looks like a mixture of Daniel Craig and Marc bonnar

@Catra

Jason Hughes?
Yes, I was thinking of him just now
WillyWollyWandy · 28/10/2021 22:43

Ah Christ. I thought when I opened the thread with 350 messages that someone would have got it by now. I mean the first name that came to my mind was a certain A. Head but he’s not really Posh Leeds.

Jeremy Bamber? Has he been put forward?

SunonmyFace · 28/10/2021 22:43

George Costigan? I think he looks like Max Farnham
