Actor appearing in ITV (Uk tv) 118-118 ident [closed] - Diverse woman standing close and looking at camera

As part of ITV (1-4) film sponsorship, 118-118 use various humorous shorts before and after advert breaks.

One of these has the 2 mustachioed regulars asking a third character (this third actors footage comes from another, unknown to me, programme) "where did you get that shirt?" - he answers, something like, Ziggys.

I'm sure users in the UK will be very familiar with this advert/ident. If I was more computer literate I'd post a picture, but I'm not. If someone who knows how to (probably most of you) please post a picture to help answer this enquiry.

Anyway, my question is 'Is the guy in the horrendous shirt Jonathan Frakes (of Star Trek TNG)?'

The ad is here, and here's his picture.

I tweeted @118118 and they were kind enough to answer for me! The actor is Russ Tamblyn in Black Heat (1976):

From the horse's mouth

His character name is Ziggy as he says in the clip, and searching for it on Google images provided plenty of other shots of him in the same awful shirt so I think that's the one:

Terrible shirt

Answer 2

For some reason the video is not playing (but I do see him in the still before you press the play button), so all I get is audio. The voice sounds a lot like Patrick Wayne (John Wayne's son), but I don't ever remember him being on Star Trek, so there's that. The still even looks like him, of what I can see around the large ">" YouTube play button.
