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!

@EwwSprouts

Yes! I thought of him but couldn’t remember his name so thank you for saving me hours on Google Grin

He's Scottish!!!!

You said posh Leeds!!!

Those accents couldn't be further apart!

DedalusBloom · 29/10/2021 20:48

He looks nothing like Mark Bonnar and I am squinting A LOT

OddsNSodsBitsNBobs · 29/10/2021 20:50

Reminds me of that scene from Only Fouls and Horses....😆

Simon shepherd?

Paul Nicholas?

QuornSausagesAreTheDevilsPenis · 29/10/2021 21:02

John Michie isn't grey and wasn't previously blond 🤷‍♀️

Might suggest MN Towers change the thread title to "Please identify this person I saw but I'm going to completely mislead you about" Wink

BadNomad · 29/10/2021 21:03

So he's neither northern, blue-eyed or formerly blond lol. The person who guessed correctly deserves a trophy!

KrispyKale · 29/10/2021 21:03

😂

namechangerino · 29/10/2021 21:05

Disappointed it wasn't actually Jeremy Bamber........

Walkingalot · 29/10/2021 21:06

I think OP may have just agreed it was him to end the thread, lol.

BadNomad · 29/10/2021 21:07

Has anyone checked to see if he's actually still alive?

Graffittiunderpass · 29/10/2021 21:07

Did anyone say Clive Wood?

SchrodingersMouse · 29/10/2021 21:09

I’m gobsmacked that John Michie is 5’11’

www.john-michie.co.uk/factfile.htm

But he does live in Folkestone apparently so that explains why he was on a train to Kent (although not to Folkestone!!!)

I am very sorry for misleading people. It honestly wasn’t on purpose. I could have sworn he was short and had blue eyes Blush

@youvegottenminuteslynn

5'5", blue eyes and northern

=

6', brown eyes and Scottish

This thread is everything Grin

He is a handsome fella though that but was correct!

So funny! It's been a good thread though and we've learnt that there's an abundance of good looking actors on TV of all ages, heights and eye colour!( Some I've never heard of)
theremustonlybeone · 29/10/2021 21:14

Yeah 5ft 11 on google tends to mean 5 9.I wouldn’t t have thought of him and I am a Scot .

JonesyPonesy · 29/10/2021 21:15

hellcatspangle · 29/10/2021 21:20

How did it end up being him 😂 I don't think he's ever been blonde, he has brown eyes, hasn't got a cleft chin, and isn't 5"5 🤦‍♀️

browneyes77 · 29/10/2021 21:20

Grey hair, used to be blonde

John Michie was brown haired 😂😂😂

RestingStitchFace · 29/10/2021 21:21

Slightly younger than 50 but maybe Jonathan Kerrigan?
