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!

OP, please neglect your work or children – they don’t need feeding or washing, that’s propaganda – and return to the thread to check off these names! Was it rugged blond northerner, er, Dean Gaffney? Tousled and twinkly… Christopher Biggins? We must know!

Obviously late to the thread... I read this comment and my eyes popped out of my head 😂

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 29/10/2021 09:27

Jon pertwee?

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 29/10/2021 09:27

Or Jason Statham but he's a southerner

itzybitzy · 29/10/2021 09:42

Lloyd Owen?

EllaPaella · 29/10/2021 09:46

I came on to say Anthony Head but see someone else has already suggested him.

itzybitzy · 29/10/2021 09:51

Ralph fiennes

Alan Cummings?

@FantasticButtocks

Simon Shepherd?
That's a good suggestion !
EdenFlower · 29/10/2021 10:50

Trevor Eve? Although he's a bit older- more like 70ish now.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 29/10/2021 10:55

One of these? Adrian Lukis hasn't been mentioned yet.

Jon pertwee?

I hope you mean his son Sean Pertwee ........... Jon Worzal Gummidge/Dr Who Pertwee died in '96 Wink

Sean Pertwee, Jason Isaacs and Sean Evans in no particular order .
Heaven on a Stick.

OK , Sean Evans #1 . He's a Scouser Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/10/2021 11:49

Shaun Evans not Sean Evans ( two different people there )

I love that the thread has turned into a Shaun Evans lovefest Grin

KitchenDancefloor · 29/10/2021 11:57

Clutching at straws here (as Barry did when he rolled down a hill)

Shaun Williamson? Aka Barry from Eastenders

Bum chin, right age, lives in Kent

I know , he's gorgeous (love him in Endeavour but in Vigil he had his own accent which was even lovelier)

But Kitchen has planted Barrry Evans in my head now so I have to go and use MindBleach Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/10/2021 12:16

Adam Woodyatt was on tour recently .

Ian Beale , probably short ( well 5.8 but he might slouch)
Blonde but gone grey
Blue eyes

And Ian Beale married/got engaged/had affairs with everyone in The Square !

hotmeatymilk · 29/10/2021 12:27

Notoriously rugged Ian Beale FFS

furbabymama87 · 29/10/2021 12:44

Who's that grey haired actor from a hollyoaks? Could it be him?

That is who I kept thinking people were on about when they were saying Shaun Evans - I thought I'd gone into a parallel universe
