Help me remember the actor's name

[PGmicstand]

Just to satisfy my itching brain!
Had a dream last night which featured an actor walking across a car park. He seemed familiar and I'm sure he's a real person.
The problem is, I can't think of much detail.
He's the sort of person who'd be in drama things like murder mysteries or maybe period dramas of the 1920s/1930s - he'd be playing a hotel proprietor type character.
I think he's fairly tall. He's an older actor - or at least, was then - he may have died.
White hair, with a bit of a wave, sometimes worn slicked back. A bit 'jowly' but not with a particularly wide face and has a moustache.
It's NOT Richard Griffiths. There's a similarity but the actor I'm thinking of has a narrower face than that and I don't think he has glasses.

Any ideas?

This morning’s thoughts!

Miles Anderson
Anton Lesser
Benjamin Whitrow

Anton Lesser and Benjamin Whitrow have already been ruled out - see OP's updated schedule.

As has Donald Sinden who was a very early suggestion. Check the schedule here and it's also in the Thread Gallery at the top.

They say characters in our dreams are based on faces we've seen before.

Are you sure this man is an actor? He's not somebody's grandfather you remember?

Boo! I thought we’d have had the answer by now.

Has anyone said Pooky Quesnel yet?

Anyone remember the thread where someone reckoned they had seen someone famous on the street? It went to 1000 posts without being solved.

Op, you're asking a lot, to say that you aren't even sure if this person exists! It was a dream you had.

Richard Briers /Richard Briars has recently been suggested. It doesn't sound like him but thought I'd add it.

I'd bet money the name was mentioned on the first page....

The person they saw was probably Bob from the post office

Anthony O'Donnell?

That's so weird - I literally looked him up yesterday. Watching Superman III!

David Warner?

Robert Dorning? https://moviedude.co.uk/Robert%20Dorning.htm

OP's already said: "David Warner
No. Hair is wrong and he's too thin"

Nigel Davenport?

Michael Kitchen? Probably not heavyset enough, but adding another name to the list!

OMG I had a (very) brief encounter with him last week and it was heavenly

Kenny Ireland? (Donald in Benidorm)

Milo O’Shay?

Jeffrey Tambor? (He's American but could have played a British character)

Peter Butterworth (though he may be too short) or any of the other Carry On Cast?

I thought of Bernard Hepton, or maybe Iain Cuthbertson. They used to pop up all over the place on the telly in the 70-80-90s...?

Ha, is this still going - how about Duncan Preston?

Some random people that came to mind:
Moray Watson
Graham Crowden
Dominic Jeffcott - though I can't find a picture of him with a moustache

Dudley Sutton?
