The figure of Silas Ramsbottom in Despicable Me 2 looks like a British actor.
Look at the top half of his face, the bottom is too exaggerated. The resemblance is strongest when he lifts his eyebrows unevenly as in the second picture.
I am thinking of a spy movie... But I am unable to find who. Does anyone recognize the real life person?
[edited] Note: I'm not talking about the voice, but the ways he looks. It's not Gary Oldman in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Answer 2
(Answering my own question). Lam's answer helped me find him: it is James Fox
Many other people have noted the resemblance but I could not find an authoritative source.
Not surprisingly Silas also somewhat resembles Edward Fox, since they are brothers.
Answer 3
Since the new movie coming and Silas Ramsbottom is back, that character immediately reminded me of actor Robert Morley, didn't know his name before.
