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!

Are you sure it's not Sean bean?

NigellaSeed · 28/10/2021 20:21

Hmm if he looked like Greg wise was it Emma Thompson?

He's already been mentioned, but the arms folded thing, Robert Carlyle?

I was thinking Sean Bean too. But probably too obvious who he is. And think he is quite tall too.
I need to know who it is!

Is this bloke? He's a short arse (but I still would).

Nick berry? Have you gone through the heartbeat cast to see if anyone jumps out.

I definitely would too, but no. About 20 years older and not as famous

Rupert Graves he was in last Tango in Halifax

ImFree2doasiwant · 28/10/2021 20:28

If its not Robson could it be Jerome?

Ducksurprise · 28/10/2021 20:28

On that basis I might suggest Dame Judy Dench. Not an man but does have blue eyes and least is an actor.

Ah but the blue eyes are a fact, the actor bit is, as the op can't identify them, conjecture. So Dench is more likely in my book.

Mark Letheren?
Ah, I think this might be it....it is bugging me now!

I've searched up what's on at Margate Theatre Royal to see if anyone fitted the bill - but no.

Thomas Craig?
