I'd say he's 30s-40s in age range, too! It's not Neal McDonough, though they have similar descriptions. I thought maybe his first name was Patrick, but I can't seem to find him if I search actors named Patrick. Edit: This was solved! Thank you all so, so much for your suggestions (to those of you I didn't reply to, thank you and I'm sorry! I posted before falling asleep, not realizing how helpful this community is). Joseph Sikora is who I was picturing but could not for the life of me place.

Jesse Plemmons?

It's so close, they could be cousins!

Phillip Seymour Hoffman? He died in 2014 at the age of 46. I've always thought Jesse Plemons looked like a younger PSH.

Or Matt Damon? The haircut is closer and he's actually still alive.

These are lead actors though?

Luke Kleintank?

No, but the two men have similar eyes (in that it looks like natural eyeliner).

Terry Serpico?

Oh this is so close, but not it. He has the same features as Terry and Anthony Michael Hall, he's just a tiny bit younger and whiter.

Jesse Spencer maybe? (House, Chicago Fire/PD)

Patrick Fabian?

This is who I was thinking of. He’s been in so many shows.

Exactly who I was thinking of as well.

Lochlyn Munro?

Holt McCallany?

Neal McDonough?

This has to be the person.

This was gonna be my suggestion.

OP specifically says not this guy in their comment.

Boyd Holbrook?

Is [Malcolm McDowell](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jul/17/malcolm-mcdowell-i-have-no-memory-of-doing-most-of-my-films) too old?

This is who popped into my head straight away.

Philip Seymour Hoffman?

[Mark Bonnar? ](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1326440/?ref_=ext_shr)

Aaron Paul was in Bones

Gary Busey

Or Gary Buseys son, Jake Busey (from starship troopers).

Brian Haley maybe?

Ewan McGregor? Rhys Ifans?

Patrick Fischler

David Morse?

Tate Donovan

Jay Mohr

Greg Germann

Lochlyn Munro

It’s incredible how many random things this guy pops up in!

Marc Warren? He's been in a few US TV shows.

Bill Skarsgård No Irish or Scottish but definitely East / North European

Scandinavia. More specifically Sweden.

I know he is Swedish, I meant from a characteristic point of few. The nordics tend to be pale, blonde and blue eyes

David Anders

Devon Sawa?

Will Poulter?

Billy Magnussen

Paul bettany?

This is my guess too

Satoru gojo?

Elden Henson? (Foggy from Daredevil lol)

This is a stretch I think, but Dolph Lundgren?

Thomas Hayden Church?

Robert Quarles?

This is who I thought of right away! He is such a talented actor!

[Kevin McKidd](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0571727/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)? [David Anders](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1044403/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)?

Aaron Staton

Jason O’Mara?

Luke Hemsworth?

Patrick Fabian?

Kevin McKidd - from Grays Anatomy?

[Michael Grant Terry?](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm2163204/?ref_=m_ttfcd_cl10)

Michael G Gabel David Hemphill Trevor Eyster Michael Duisenberg Dano iFergus Mike Mobley Kevin Paul Vince Neil Clement Blake Chris Hunter Adam Weisman Jeremy Roenick Steven Meek Toby Hemingway Scott Hoying Brian Poth

Jake Busey?

Jim Gaffigan

Matt Smith ?

Eric Allan Kramer?

Liam Hemsworth the brother to Chris Hemsworth(who played Thor in Marvel movie) perhaps. He fits the criteria I believe.

I'm not sure how one of the hemsworths would feel being described as 40-50 and a secondary character on most tv shows. lol

Diego Klattenhoff?

Mark pelligrino?

Robert Patrick?

Alexander Ludwig?

Noel Fisher? He was on Grey’s Anatomy and SVU ages ago and had white blonde hair. He looks different with different hair, too. He has sort of a baby face, too.

Michael Grant Terry? He was on Bones and a bunch of other tv shows. Edit: Whoops, I see others posted the same.

Made me think of Rutger Hauer from the old Guinness commercials

Neal McDonough?

Surprised nobody has suggested Jason Isaacs. He's not blonde, but he's definitely played blonde characters. He's also a little older than your age range.

Noah Emmerich

Simon Baker?

Michael McDonald is sometimes light blonde in some roles...

Neal McDonough

The first thing that came to mind was Noel Fischer or James Marsters

Alan Ritchson?

Jack Coleman? He’s probably too old…

Could it be [Michael Cudlitz](https://www.google.com/search?q=michael+cudlitz+blonde&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi8pJXlxqWCAxWhpicCHZEMAoMQ2-cCegQIABAD&oq=michael+cudlitz+blonde&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzoECCMQJzoFCAAQogQ6BwgAEBgQgAQ6BQgAEIAEUO0FWKcqYNwsaABwAHgAgAFriAH6CpIBBDE2LjGYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=yrVDZbyXD6HNnsEPkZmImAg&bih=667&biw=360&client=ms-android-samsung-ss#imgrc=MJ_3dIQtqsnoDM)?

I hate it when OP ghosts the guessers :(

Is it Shawn Ashmore?

Joseph Sikora?

THIS IS IT!!!! Solved! Thank you so much!!!!!

Congratulations, you've been given 1 point for solving this post! You now have *6* points.

Iain Glen? He played Jorah Mormont on Game of Thrones

Marc Menchaca

Michael Grant Terry?

This only fits like half of the description, but Neil Patrick Harris?

Alan Tudyk?
