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!

Philip Glenister was in northern-set programme Clocking Off.

Yeah I'm obsessed now 😂

It wasn't an actor was it. Just someone with 'one of those faces'...... 😂

Do you know I thought he was a lot shorter.
Ashley of Corrie then.😂

Andrew Lincoln from Teachers and the Walking Dead ?

Tom Burke?

Dan Stevens, who was Matthew Crawley in Downtown.

(Although not even 40 so might be too young)

@pineapplejuiceisyuck

Tom Burke?

About 20 odd years too young!!

Paul Bettany?

Thread too long to read so sorry if already suggested.

Ah yes, 5ft 5 Stephen Tomkinson 🤣🤣

Dan Stevens??? Well unless the rest of the cast of Downton were no more than 4ft 10 I doubt its him 😂

Loving this thread

My dh was convinced that Greg Wise was Denis Lawson when Strictly began this series.

Has anyone said Philip Glenister yet?

Martin Clunes or Trevor Eve were the only 2 I can think of.

@minisoksmakehardwork

Martin Clunes or Trevor Eve were the only 2 I can think of.

Yes both known to be about the 5ft 5 mark OP said about 🤔😂

Missed the height. James Macavoy then. With his beard he appears to have a cleft chin but not always and has blue eyes.
