Rowan Atkinson

Actor

A rubber-faced comedian and actor, Rowan Atkinson is especially famous in Great Britain. He became a cult favorite in the British television series Blackadder, and an even bigger star in the series Mr. Bean. In 1997 a slapstick film version of Mr. Bean was an international hit. He frequently appears in small roles in big screen comedies, including Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994, with Hugh Grant), Rat Race (2001, with Whoopi Goldberg) and Love Actually (2003, with Liam Neeson).
