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!

I came on here to say John Michie because I saw him at Center Parcs and I spent three weeks trying to figure out who he was!

Adam Faith has been dead for years.

Richard Grieve? My daughter saw him once and it took us ages to name him!

It's hilarious how many people have seen John Michie out and about and had to rack their brains (and all the brains on this thread) as to who he was Grin

PumpkinsandTea · 30/10/2021 00:04

I always mistake John Michie for Bradley Walsh! 😆

The first person I thought of when I read this thread was Martin Clunes. Even though he's not short, not northern and to my recollection, hasn't got blue eyes, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wouldnt worry - neither does John Michie have any of those features Grin

Denis Lawson is a shorter version of Greg Wise, but not blue-eyed. Martin Freeman?

Haha that was my guess. You are right he doesn't have the right eye colour. Neither does John Michael though Grin
