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!

@AppleButter

The one who played Colonel Brandon in the Sense & Sensibility remake?
I doubt it - that was the late Alan Rickman
SiobhanSharpe · 28/10/2021 21:07

Tom Hollander?
Jude Law?

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 28/10/2021 21:07

@LMBoston

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.
Omg if I saw him I'm real life I'd wet myself with excitement 🥰

@Handsoffstrikesagain

Is it the guy that used to play Simon in casualty? He was also a love interest for Dawn French in the vicar of Dibley?
I know who you mean, but pretty sure he is over 5' 5 Grin
missl1 · 28/10/2021 21:08

The guy from Strike. Tom Burke?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/10/2021 21:08

I think OP has left us dangling ......

You should have asked him Mouse Ok you might have got a restraining order but it's got to be better than this ? Wink

SiobhanSharpe · 28/10/2021 21:09

Sam West? Blue eyes, dimpled chin
