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 we think the OP has drowned under a sea of “Posh Leeds” based short actors? Or has her wifi has buckled under the strain of 650 guesses (and counting). I haven’t read all of them but my god how many Philip Glennister suggestions have there been!

John Simm
or
Martin Freeman???

Matthew McNulty

Sam Neill

Martin Shaw

Pierce Brosnan

Jason Connery?

Oh don't you leave us hanging too @Nomorepies

Could it be a tv chef?
Gordon Ramsay?

Has anyone suggested Rupert Graves yet?

Sean Bean, or has he been mentioned?

Marc Warren?

This thread is addictive!

[quote Nomorepies]@Nettleweed omg you have made my day with this post!! (Entirely unhelpful to the OP!) But I've been trying to place the famous actor who was in our local pub in Yorkshire in August. After he left the whole pub was saying they recognised him, I scoured the Internet and nothing. Now I know!!! Haha thank you!

He was very lovely and so was his wife, they had two children with them.[/quote]
I’m pleased to have helped!

Thanks for confirming my suspicion that he is a nice person IRL 🥰

Simon Shepherd!

Let's look at another picture of Shaun Evans while we're waiting.

Oh the eyes!

Trevor Eve?

Ha, ha thanks @Nomorepies

I don't think I could take any more suspense.

It's always nice to find that celebs live up to expectations, even if you don't know who they are
