Rowan Atkinson rules, but i worry the only stuff that Americans and maybe the rest of the world know of him is Mr Bean, when that by far is his worst stuff IMO.

I have to agree Chris.... He's as funny as a funny man with a degree in funnyness from Oxford University!!
Although Tony Robinson as Baldrick in Blackadder does help!!

It was okay, but i still think it was him at his worst, hes just so much more funny when he actually speaks and isnt acting like a bit of a twat lol.

I don't know, I've always loved Bean as a character.

I laughed my arse off at the Bean movie, but I do agree, that was nothing more than watered down Mr. Bean (playing it safe for the American audience I guess). I do look forward to the real Mr Bean movie out soon.

His presence was the best part of Rat Race and the only funny thing about Scooby Doo movie.

But my favorite character of his is Blackadder.

Rowan Atkinson himself indicate that "Mr. Bean ss more popular in Canada than almost anywhere else, except perhaps Germany."

I enjoyed Mr. Bean a lot as a little kid, so I suppose I should really check out this other stuff.

I can agree about the Rat Race thing, too.

How old is he, now?
