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!

Do you mean David Easter who played Mac furbabymama87?

@CurryLover55

Ooh I had a real thing for Hugo Speer in The Full Monty. Sex on a stick!

Oh hell yes! Totally fell in love with him watching that. He's been in my crush list for a good 20 years.

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

At this point, you may as well get on IMDB, start at A and work your way through.

Maybe this guy wasn’t famous at all? Maybe he’s just some random silver fox who reminds you of someone famous but isn’t.

Notoriously rugged Ian Beale FFS

Maybe haggard rather than rugged ...................?

fs OP just pick (any) one of them and say its him, put us all out of this misery.

I can't believe I just scrolled through over 530 comments to still not know!!

@CrazyTimesAreOccurring it was everyone talking about Sean Evans that led to my Barry guess!

Sorry for the need for brain bleach to all affected. My condolences.

Is it Christopher Eccleston? I saw him on a train once

I'm going to take a wild guess at Philip Bretherton.

Seriously invested in this!

(also feeling the Shaun Evans love)

Ah Kitchen it was little Barry's face as he realised he was going nowhere but darrrrrrrrnnn

In defence of Barry Evans, Shaun Williamson seems to be a lovely, clever man. Fuck you Janine

That'll be him, then! Known to use trains, unlike all the other male members of Equity.

@SchrodingersMouse any of these names ring a bell so far??

"That'll be him, then! Known to use trains, unlike all the other male members of Equity."*

Yes, that was my exact thought

Yeah, Fuck you Janine! This made me laugh so much.

Simon Mc Corkindale.

Brideshead revisited.

I think he is dead

I think he is dead
Sadly yes and I don't think he was in brideshead either! That's Anthony Andrews.

Simon Shepherd?

Anthony Head?

Dougray Scott?

Richard Dormer? He’s not so tall and is very piercing, and a bit rugged Mark Bonnar-ish? Not sure about the cleft chin as I’ve only ever seen him with a beard. I also can’t picture him as a love interest, so I’m probably way off!

Samuel West who played Siegfried in the new All Creatures Great and Small?

I bet it is Simon Shepherd (and if so I said it first! )

I saw an actor on a train once, I recognised him but don't know his name. He was in The Crown, a young Prince Phillip was on a ship and asked the captain to turn round and help some people on an island, the guy I saw was the captain, (though Matt Smith would have been just as exciting).
