Nah, not Ian McShane.

I'm trying to pin the films down, Elski, but so far I can just picture him in them - alone! Sigh...

That's what I thought too! :giggle:

Hmm, trying to figure out who this guy is on minimal clues is a proper head scratcher...

Ah sorry guys, although feel free to change the tone of the thread! I keep thinking I remember a film he's been in then look it up on IMDB to find it's not the case. Driving me mental, though happy to be sharing the head scratching!

I can picture him clear as a bell - wish you could see inside my head!

Anything would be helpful anakin! :p
