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!

Will Mellor?

I’ve just spent ages trying to think of Marc Warren’s name to suggest. I see lots of people got there before me!

Neil Dudgeon?

notactuallylolling OP has certainly whipped up a storm, not to come back to us is just fecking RUDE!!

Philip glenister?

Here

and also

I really need OP to come back to this thread #overinvested

I know, I know! It's ANDY (Peter Byrne) who was in Dixon of Dock Green.

Why did he live with his 'wife' in PC Dixon`s house? I don't think that was ever clearly explained by the BBC...

@halesie one of the first TV programmes Alan Cumming did was called The High Life back in the 80s. He played an air steward on 'Air Scotia' and swanned (minced) around the plane looking very pleased with himself. You'll probably find it on YouTube.

@LateMumma

James Purefoy?

Swoon / faint / melt……

First guess was Anthony Head
Douglas Henshall?- I know he’s Scottish !

@SchrodingersMouse come on !!!!

Robert Carlisle?

Not northern and a little young but Matt Bardock? He was in 'The Coroner' - so windswept countryside.

James Macpherson - was Mike Jardine in Taggart.. Blond and cleft chin anyway but might be a bit tall.

Tristan Gemmill?

f

Was he closer to shaven headed Mark Strong or Gerard Butler?

Hugh Bonneville??

Hello hello - I am not ignoring you all!! I am combing through the thread after having to work today - lots of repeats so shouldn’t take too long I hope

Martin Freeman or John Simm ?

thanks @S0upertrooper - when I was finally able to tell DH who it was he told me about that straight away

Chris Ecclestone?
Jason Isaacs?
