Who is this man?

My friend has just posted this picture on her facebook page, asking if anyone knows who he is. We both think he may be an actor because his face looks familiar but we need a name. This photo is at least 35 years old, and apparently this chap is photographed with my friend's grandpa. However, there is no-one in the family who can answer the question.

So I guess I'm hoping for someone of a 'certain age' to come to our rescue! ;)

He put me in mind of Nigel Davenport the actor and Louise here in the office said a Kray twin xD :lol: xD

I'm sure if my friend's Grandpa was on convivial terms with a Kray twin this would be the stuff of family legend! :D

Someone else has just suggested that on facebook! My friend is so far silent on whether there are any gangland connections in the family! ;)

So we don't know that this man IS-an actor, just Maz's feeling it may be. Does your friend think it highly possible because of her grandad 's background? He may be an old pal from the war, work colleague, long lost relative of some kind I have someone in mind I'm going to see if there is a photo of him from the 70's or 80's.

 

Do we know where the photo was taken? At home or in a tv studio, if grandad was on a game show or something?

He has the look of a young Bob Monkhouse. He does look familiar and I have convinced myself he is an actor but a google images search has got me nowhere. It's really niggling me now and I am wasting time on this rather than planting up my new herb garden. He looks like he is one of the rat pack doesn't he and should be hanging around with Sinatra.

We don't have an answer, sn0wdr0p. I wouldn't be that cruel!

The picture seems to be taken at some kind of dinner - we're thinking maybe the mystery man was a guest speaker, or was presenting awards. He's shaking hands with my friend's Granddad, and she says the photo seems to be featuring the man as the main focus - as if he's the most important part of the photo.

Not sure if he's American or English (but I think he looks English myself) and there is a similar photograph of the Granddad which has 1972 on the back.

This reminds me of a weekend long ago on a school trip (pre-Google) when we spent the whole time trying to remember who played Fagin in Oliver. It drove us mad and its funny that it is almost the only thing I remember of the whole weekend. Sorry if I've done that to you. :ph34r:

reminds me a little of a young Harry Corbett (Steptoe's son) but it's not cos his nose isn't as 'prominent' shall we say...can't find a Google image with that angle for comparison!

 

ooo I want to know!!!
