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!

You just know someone will resurrect this thread in 2023 with

"Is it William Roache?"

And on it will go.

@secretbookcase

joe absalom?

stephen mackintosh?

And because this is hard work let's all have a photo of the staggeringly handsome Shaun Evans to keep us going

I never rated Shaun Evans, handsome-wise until I saw him in Vigil.

He was supremely sexy in that.

@suckingonchillidogs your Ashley comment made me laugh out loud. Thank you for making me smileSmiletoday

IpanemaPeaHen · 30/10/2021 18:10

Such a funny thread. Mumsnet at its best.

I’m glad you’ve got a name now and I’m still smiling that someone suggested Alan Rickman, if only! Still sad he’s gone.

suckingonchillidogs · 30/10/2021 18:13

@wizzler this whole thread has had me sniggering for days - Adam Faith! 😆

@JaneJeffer

IT'S JOHN MICHIE!! But let's have another picture of Shaun Evans.
He doesn't do it for me normally, but in that picture I felt all funny. Swoon
JaneJeffer · 30/10/2021 18:50

Glad to be of assistance Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/10/2021 21:09

I wonder if Shaun Evans would consider being the next Dr Who ?
In that hand-outstretched posed it's very "Come and join me in the TARDIS "

(My Dream Dr Who is David Morrissey but DH says he cannot be . Some Time&Space Consortium would prevent it , )

But ..............only in his Liverpool accent .

Blueuggboots · 30/10/2021 22:07

Jason issacs?

Blueuggboots · 30/10/2021 22:08

Ha! Sorry, saw you've updated.

nannykatherine · 31/10/2021 11:21

Just shows what a terrible witness you would be in court 🤣🤣

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/10/2021 12:46

Hope this works ....

When Mouse said he looked like an older /more filled out Mark Bonner I did think Christopher Biggins
When I watched LoD , I thought that . It's the top lip
And similar hair and skintone

There - ignore the differences , look at the mouth

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 31/10/2021 15:22

John Mitchie wasn't a hero in the things I've seen him in 😂

SwedishEdith · 31/10/2021 21:40

John Michie has a doppelganger. James Frain in Showtrial now in BBC1.

WeAreTheHeroes · 31/10/2021 22:26

I thought the same tonight.

Zandathepanda · 01/11/2021 14:03

Ooo James has the piercing blue eyes and is the right age. OP can you remember what his teeth were like?
