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 was just about to say Marc Warren!

Or Neil Stuke??

GillBiggeloesHair · 28/10/2021 20:41

Marc Warren is pretty hot, just sayin...

DaisyNGO · 28/10/2021 20:43

Marc Warren lives near us, we nod hello

I can't think of him on a poster like OP describes and we tend to notice what he's in more than other stuff

He looked totally different last time I saw him and I presume it's for a part.

Shaun Dooley is tall though. I saw him on Whitby pier.

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 28/10/2021 20:53

I swear we had this exact same thread a couple of years ago Grin

I don’t think there are many mainstream TV leading men who are 5 foot 5. Maybe just a handsome chap who looks like a lot of other men!

LMBoston · 28/10/2021 20:53

Jason Isaacs? Northerner. Played Jackson Brodie in Case Histories. My mum would leave my dad after 50 years of marriage for him. Very good at crossing his arms.
