Please help me name this actor. Driving me bonkers.

[NellyJames]

Ok. I think he’s Scottish. Over 60. Balding but hair a sandy/ginger/blond sort of colour. Slim, sharp features (I think)
Similar age but not either Bill Paterson or Denis Lawson. I picture him as weary and maybe as an older uniformed police officer. 😩😩😩 Any ideas?

What kind of shows has he done?

Peter Mullan?

Iain Glenn?

Thanks @GingerBreadNurse I think he’s invariably done Morse/Lewis/Midsomer etc. Def British tv.

Iain Glen?

Charles Dance?

Iain Glen fron Game of Thrones?

Older than Iain Glenn. Less full set in the face than Peter Mullan. Acts in more refined roles if that makes sense.

Douglas henshall?

Thinner in the face than those mentioned.

Older than Douglas Henshall

Peter Capaldi

James Cosmo? Although he's a big lad.

He has a look similar to Gordon Jackson but he’s not GJ and he’s current.

Jonny Phillips?

Def not James Cosmo. About half his build.

James wilby?

A bit older than Jon Phillips.
Thanks everyone. It’s driving me insane. I’d probably describe him as a jobbing actor. Can def see him in a high ranking police uniform. Aggghhh!

Richard dillane?

Mark Bonnar

David Hayman?

Brendan Gleeson?

Thanks again @GingerBreadNurse. It’s not James Willy but a very similar type of actor with a similar look in similar stuff. An older, slimmer version of him.

That’s okay op, I know that feeling of going bonkers when you just can’t put your finger on something!

Its sometimes easier to retrace steps from where you last know you saw them, even if it’s vague.

...ignore me, you said older!

Similar age to David Hayman but if David Hayman played the tough character then this guy would be the bank manager
