How good of a memory do you have for faces? And/or how much of a nerd are you?
By far, Denis Lawson's biggest role was as Wedge in the original "Star Wars" trilogy. That was nearly three decades before "Bleak House," when he was a younger (and darker-haired) man, but the face is the same.
Wedge was a side character who only got a few lines in those movies, but they're among the most-watched and rewatched movies of all time, so it's still his biggest role.
He's had recurring roles on the medical drama "Holby City" (in seasons 4 through 6, and more recently in Season 21) and in a few of the later seasons of the cop show "New Tricks" (reuniting him with his "Bleak House" co-star Alun Armstrong).
Assuming you first met "Bleak House" through PBS's "Masterpiece" series, you may know him from his role in a 2007 Miss Marple story called "Ordeal by Innocence" (he played the patriarch of the Argyle family) or through 1998's "Horatio Hornblower: The Fire Ship" (that one actually aired on A&E, not PBS, but the audiences were likely pretty similar).
Even if you recognize him specifically in his grey-haired guise, it could still be "Star Wars." He reprised his Wedge role, briefly again, in the 2019 sequel, "Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker."
