'Fraid not. He’s Irish. Not English.
Just one? Clive Owen. Or Alan Rickman. Damn, I can’t choose.
Yabbut the OP asked for UK authors.
One? ONE? No, way, can’t do it. I’ll take everyone mentioned in this thread already, minus Ralph Fiennes. I’ll trade Ralph in for his oh-so-much-dreamier brother, Joseph.
So we have to pick just one?
Definitely Alan Rickman.
Men?
Rufus Sewell (see Dangerous Beauty and Dark City - why this man is not a huge star, I don’t know)
Hugh Grant
Women?
Keira Knightley
Sienna Miller - wiki says she considers her (half-yank, half SA) self English, culturally.
Catherine McCormack ( again, see Dangerous Beauty)
Jessica Stevenson does something for me.
Another vote here for Keira Knightley. I even found her attractive in Domino!
But what I really wanted to say in this thread, ladies, is that I have frequently, and especially by an ex-gf, been told I resemble Ewan McGregor. (waves to Guinastasia - oh by the way Guin, they did clone him!)
Of course, under different conditions, people on the street often call me Harry Potter. Sigh.
One won’t do. I nominate the Grants: Hugh and Cary. (Seriously, how could any of you have forgotten Cary Grant? He’s synonymous with smooth, gentile Brit.)

If I can name only one, it’s Daniel Day Lewis. He has made far too few movies, alas.
Got pictures?
