You know the sort. They've always cropped up in everything over the years.
Posting on another similar thread gave me the idea for this.
To kick off here are two examples.
1. Malcolm Tierney.

I thought this thread wouldn't be much good without knowing their name
There's a blonde woman who was in The Take but now in Eastenders , he's has a very distinctive "look" especially her lips . Tends to play rough looking women .
That could be any of the female cast of EastEnders...
Her name is Kierston Wareing
Yes he (Stephen Yardley), played the Ken Masters charactor. I never watched him in Howerd's Way at the time but I remember him from the series Secret Army
Bernard Hepton.

Duncan Preston.
He's been in absolutely sh*t loads over the years, right back from an early episode of the Liver Birds.
Here he is with a middle aged Paula Wilcox.

I initially remember her from Linda Green approx 10 years ago. She was quite attractive, and then in recent years I started noticing her again appearing in things much more 'mumsified'. Easily found by Google yes, so essentially I suppose it's more a case of moderately successful actors who aren't particularly famous.
Albert in Secret Army (which was spoofed in Allo Allo) and the Commandant in Colditz
Or as the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy
Oh yes!! Good one woot_whoo.
He was also in a lot of children shows as well.

My two would be Tamsin Greig, although she is a bit more famous now than a few years back.

The other one is Elizabeth Berrington, in a lot of things but had to use IMDB to find her name.

Outstanding performance as the Kommandant in Colditz. He's now 87 and still going strong, on facebook if anyone wants to contact him.
The Kommandant and his sidekick Ulmann were both comparatively sympathetic characters

Looks quite snooty ,has very piercing eyes , often appears on panel shows? First name might be Helen??
I love him, I love his voice it is so beautiful.
