Help me place this actor??

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!

OP has been back and updated - JOHN MICHIE

I’m sure I’ve had an argument with DH about John Michie and the fact that I read that he has quite a posh English accent IRL rather than the rather gruff Glaswegian one he had on Taggart. Can you confirm?

AmDillDandin · 29/10/2021 21:30

I'm glad you're happy, but in MN terms I hope you're a total outcast. You're a MN disgrace.

You utter arse of a woman.

ilovesushi · 29/10/2021 21:31

Is it John Nettles? He's lovely! Sorry if this has already been suggested.

ilovesushi · 29/10/2021 21:31

Ah John Michie! Glad he's been identified!

ElftonWednesday · 29/10/2021 21:32

Wouldn't have known his name but I do recognise him.

TaraR2020 · 29/10/2021 21:36

@AmDillDandin 🤣

TheVolturi · 29/10/2021 21:37

I thought you said he had a soft Leeds accent? Were you slightly tipsy op?

freshcarnation · 29/10/2021 21:41

Thank goodness that's been resolved

WithMyEncyclopedia · 29/10/2021 21:45

I don't know this man! But image search suggests he looks like Paul Robinson off Neighbours!?

@theremustonlybeone

@SchrodingersMouse

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

It’s just as well we threw tall brunettes with brown eyes at you. 🤓
TatianaBis · 29/10/2021 21:47

Oh and Scots. 😂

I did this a couple of months ago asking to place a red haired actor possibly off Eastenders, posters kindly suggested every red haired actor in the country for me and it turned out to be a chef off the great British menu Blush your mind plays tricks on you!
