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
cricketmum84 · 29/10/2021 20:47

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?

LexysMidnightRunners · 29/10/2021 20:55

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

Paul Freeman maybe

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?
