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!

If its not Robson could it be Jerome?

The one who played Carl King in Emmerdale?

LuckyLucyLoot · 28/10/2021 20:39

My guess was Dean Andrews until I googled Greg Wise and saw that he's nothing like him.
