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?

I picture him wearing a trilby style hat and playing a character called Sandy. Someone's sidekick in a period style detective or police drama. I can see the face of the man you mean. Very similar to Gordon Jackson but a more modern version. But from the 1980s/1990s.

@sweetchristmastime, I tried that. There’s literally 1000s and no pics for most so it would take hours.

Could it be Struan Roger?

NellyJames · 21/12/2020 21:26

@friskybivalves, yes!

Has he already been mentioned?

JamesMoriarty · 21/12/2020 21:26

I have no idea but I want to know now.

friskybivalves · 21/12/2020 21:26

It is now driving me crazy.

friskybivalves · 21/12/2020 21:29

OMG

Is it Struan Rodger? Played sandy in chariots of fire. Was Eric lidells running coach? No trilby hat though.

Bilingualspingual · 21/12/2020 21:30

This is killing me. I need an answer on Struan!! Surely I’m right?!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/12/2020 21:30

Adrian Dunbar ?

friskybivalves · 21/12/2020 21:33

Oh bilingualspingual didn't see you had already mentioned Struan!!!

Yorensnow · 21/12/2020 21:34

Mark bonnar 🤷‍♀️

Bilingualspingual · 21/12/2020 21:34

frisky we had a double Struan mind-splat. I’ve decided it’s him even if it’s not.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 21/12/2020 21:35

Bill Patterson?

ScrambledSmegs · 21/12/2020 21:35

The bank manager thing made me think of Philip Franks, (probably best known for The Darling Buds of May) but he's not Scottish.

NellyJames · 21/12/2020 21:40

😩 not Struan Rodger.

NellyJames · 21/12/2020 21:44
