6. Rowan Atkinson

Atkinson may be known to many movie fans as Mr. Bean, but this gifted British comedian has actually appeared in more than 50 movies and television shows over the past 30 years, including “Love Actually,” “Johnny English,” and “Hot Shots Part Deux.”

The master of funny faces is one of the best-known British actors around the world and even made a cameo in the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic Games.

Like many other actors featured here, Atkinson was able to break out of his typical “type” in the medium of animation when he lent his voice to the role of Zazu, the uptight hornbill in Disney’s “The Lion King.”

Atkinson actually got his start in radio, where he co-wrote and performed a comedy show called “The Atkinson People.”

Prior to his success with film and television, Atkinson also did many live skits, and continued to do theater throughout his career. As recently as 2013, Atkinson took on a role in the play “Quartermaine’s Terms.”

This successful comedian has some impressive comedic tricks up his sleeve.

Though everyone is familiar with the physical comedy associated with the Mr. Bean character, many of his other prominent roles rely much more heavily on language and delivery.
