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!

Jude Law, Gary Oldman

Jeremy Sheffield

No idea but hopefully he'll get famous enough for you to get there in the end OP.

I'm not great with faces and was on a plane back in 2004 where a guy was walking round looking very pleased with himself like he might be famous but I couldn't place him. Took a good 5 years before appeared on The Good Wife and I finally realised it was Alan Cumming

@LizzyA123

Douglas Henshall?

This is my latest guess!

Surely the right one has been mentioned here by now

Jason Isaacs or Clive Oeen

Could it be Graham McTavish?

At 28 pages I can't be aresed to rtft, has anyone said Ben Daniels - loved him in Cutting It, around the right age & deffo has the piercing blue eyes... 👀

Mark Jordan (PC Bellamy) from Heartbeat?

Piccie just in case, perhaps not the right age/hair colour though...

Has anyone suggested Simon Shepherd? Used to be in Peak Practice, I think. He’s the first person I thought of when I read your description.

Marcus Gilbert

Ooh he was in Jilly Coopers "Riders" but he's tall .
DH swears he saw him swooping past us in a DrizaBone coat in Harrods (or similar) I'm not sure it was him. (This was years ago)

Google tells me he's 6'1!

Philip Glenister?

Anthony Head??? Ex coffee ad & Buffy

Ben Daniels ( phoarrr) is too tall. Plus he wouldn’t be talking about any number of wives.

I love him !!

deffo not Anthony Head??

The guy off corrie.... forgot his name now but he was the chef going out with Carla x

Paul Nicholas?

Christopher Eccleston? John Simm? No idea if anyone’s mentioned them, I just came here from the email.

Des Barnes off Corrie. I think he was from Hartlepool or somewhere so not Leeds

James Purefoy?

@mrst3

Anthony Head??? Ex coffee ad & Buffy

That was my guess too. Love him!

Come on OP did anyone get it right??

Sounds like Sean Bean!

I was thinking trevor eve but he doesnt have piercing blue eyes
