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!

There are too many pages to read so I’m sorry to do this - but has anyone said Max Beesley?

Andrew Lincoln - was in Love Actually and the walking dead?
The bloke out of Downnton Abbey - Cousin Matthew? Too young?
Oh how about Rufus Sewell - stunning blue eyes, not blond though and probably too posh.

Several times....

I agree that the OP has realised it wasn't anybody famous at all, but she should have the decency to pretend that it was Jimmy Krankie.

If it was Stephen Campbell Moore I’m very envious…

Martin Shaw...but he's older.

I think OP said he looked very like Steve Pinder and Mark Bonnar (both of whom look very similar)

I think@Corkit 's suggestion of David Easter is a good call.

Rupert Penry-Jones?

Have we had Hugh Grant yet, for the full nonsense bingo?

Paul Nicholas but he is older .

Paul Nicholas, was very blonde and blue eyed.

Could it be John Michie - formally of taggart and Corrie? It took me ages to place him when I saw him at the beach last summer - puzzled me for days until I had a eureka moment!!

Jerome Flynn??

Toby Stephens. Now 52. Has blue eyes, I think. Had lovely red hair when younger, probably going grey now. Played Mr Rochester in Wuthering Heights, so has been seen with moors in the background. Under 6'.

Cal McAninch?

Tom Hollander?
5’5 with blue eyes…

Rupert Penny Jones?

You have got to be kidding me has op still not placed him???

*Penry

Daniel Craig!

Peter Capaldi?

Chris Larkin?

I was going for Martin Shaw too but he’s already been mentioned

Is it poss he isnt an actor but maybe a politician or artist? When you said Margate I thought of Damien Hirst.

Or what about the fella from Downton who played Lady Mary’s husband.

Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, Dennis Lawson?

Stephen Tompkinson?
