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?

Douglas Henshall

You're just winding us up now OP. Fairer than John Lyons?

John Inman

@Richgamebirdwithmorels, no, about 40yrs older and fair/ginger but very balding.

Colouring of Dougie Henshall but older and more sharp featured.

Bill Patterson ?

Bruce Alexander?

I need to know now

It’s Billy Connolly or John Hannah isn’t it OP?! !! 😂🤣

Still not Bill Patterson!

Straun Rodger?

as I keep saying, not a household name or very famous but one of those British tv actors you’d recognise if you saw them.

I’m having another go. Clive Russell age 75.

@NellyJames

Sorry, not found him yet. I think these actors are all too well known. And yes, it’s still definitely not Tim PS

oh well I'll give up on him ! How about Patrick Malahide ?

Colin McCredie is a bit too young, I think? Also too much hair. However, he was in Taggart for years.

Yeah but Bill Patterson in series 3 Outlander is really really old

My husband?

following

Bill Stewart or Russell Hunter?

Duncan Bell?

Ian Hanmore?

Not Scottish : George Costigan

Freddie Broadley ?

Derek Fowlds

How am I supposed to not think about this thread tonight at 3am when my nightly insomnia wakes me?!

Remember something he's been in or I'm going to hunt you down and make you my project. No pressure....

... apart from Midsomer Murders because there are just too many bloody minor characters in it....
