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?

Simon Chandler?

Philip Martin Brown?

So is this man 60ish now or was he 60ish in Midsomer/Poirot from decades ago?

What about David someone who was Inspector Grimm in The Thin Blue Line and one of the grooms in Four Weddings and a Funeral?

Julian Glover-although he must be 80+now!

John Shrapnel

Robert Swann

David Troughton

Peter Eyre

Frank Windsor

They're all ones I can think of from MM-don't necessarily fit any other criteria!

Clive Swift, David Ryall (was in a Morse)

Sorry if any have been mentioned!

Hang on has anyone said Gerard Butler yet? It's a bit of a long shot but you never know.

Booooooo! I thought we'd have the answer by now

Denis Lawson? Sorry if already suggested.

David Bradley has been mentioned hasn't he?

For some reason Timothy Spall also came to mind!!

@heathergem

Denis Lawson? Sorry if already suggested.

Denis Lawson is mentioned in the OP.

The fact this is still going is just brilliant

I’m sorry I didn’t come back yesterday. I genuinely have checked each suggestion and none of them fit. Maybe ive dreamt him. But I haven’t! I promise to come back when I remember more. You’ve all been brilliant!

Frank Mills? Not Scottish though.
