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!

Aargh, thank you all but it’s none of these I’m afraid!

He has a cleft chin

Well, when I saw an actor on a train years ago and couldn’t place him, it turned out to be Dean Andrews. I’m not sure he plays love interests, but I think he does have blue eyes.

Do you think Jason Merrells - was Declan in Emmerdale? Although he doesn't have a cleft chin so probably not

Robert Bathurst?

Nuffaluff · 28/10/2021 19:54

Most actors are much shorter in real life than you think.
Maybe it really was Greg Wise.
