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).

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

Rupert Graves he was in last Tango in Halifax

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.
