anyone help me with this actor?

driving me a bit bonkers since watching first episode of black mirror last night……
the prime minister/pig episode, when i saw the porn star stand-in i thought “ahhh where’ve i seen him before but a lot younger?”

his names jay simpson and this is a pic.

i can picture him as a young teen, late 70s early 80s. at first i was thinking zammo from grange hill but no, thats lee mcdonald. then i thought yessss ive got it! i was sure he was one of the inmates in scum with ray winstone.
googled away, imdb’d it, but can find no mention of him in that film. i pictured him being part of the scene where one of them is talking about his parents dog having puppies, bit of a soft lad.

can anyone help me out here, or do i have to watch scum all the way through again to set my mind at rest 😀

Not thinks g of The Firm, with Gary Oldman are you?

He was a bit younger in Foyles War

EDIT – just noticed you’d already done this!

thats not a bad shout, just googled and the name dominic sounds familiar. did he play someone who was a bit of a soft lad, caught up in it all but a bit scared?

if its not that then i think im just going to have to accept im mistaken. ive found the ‘puppy’ scene in scum and have seen the pics of the actor and wondering if he just reminds me of him.

dominic in the firm could be the one tho, thanks.

EDIT: its making me want to watch scum and the firm again tho, have a bit of a ‘reminiscing day’ sometime soon.

He’s too young to have been in Scum or The Firm, I reckon.
I remember him as a young actor in Press Gang, on early eve telly, though he’s been in various tv shows throughout the years which makes him ‘one of those faces’.
Can remember why I was an avid viewer of Press Gang…

He was on Peep Show for an episode. The one where Mark was trying to bang his old crush after the school reunion. This guy played her husband ‘Foz’ I think.

God I miss that show.

Sure it’s not Mick Ford?

That’s a young Bruce Springsteen innit?

Just thought, looks very similar…

Looks a bit like Cedric Gracia 😆
