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?

How about Donald Douglas?

Not Danny Webb, again in everything?

or there's Oliver Ford Davies?

Aden Gillet?

Have we had Steve Huison?

Grabbing at straws- Jason Watkins. Probably too famous and not Scottish though 😬

I’ll be up with you at 3am Thirsty this is killing me and it’s not even bedtime yet

Has anyone said Bill Patterson?

How long ago did you see him in something, OP? And was that a new programme?

Cos it makes a massive difference to whether he’s really late 60s or could in fact be older...

Duncan Bell

Ian Cuthbertson

None of these?

Has anyone said Bill Patterson?

OP, come back and tell us it IS Bill Patterson! I need to go to bed!

Nigel Allan Havers (although he is not scottish) ?????

@NellyJames

Colouring of Dougie Henshall but older and more sharp featured.

Tweet Dougie Henshall and ask him which British actor he’s often mistaken for? (Even if he isn’t, actor tweeps will pick it up...)

Peter Mullan

Alan Howard?
