One of Britain's best known comedy actors (primarily). Started out in his twenties doing bit parts in Ronnie Barker's ''[[Porridge]]'' and ''[[The Two Ronnies]]'' (ironically, often made up to look like an old man) before securing the regular role of Granville on ''[[Open All Hours]]'', also alongside Barker. He's perhaps best known for his role as Del Boy Trotter in ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'', although in recent years he's also become known for the more unusually straight-drama lead role of Inspector Jack Frost in ''[[A Touch of Frost]]''.
 
A national treasure and immediately recognisable. ''[[Dead Ringers (TV series)|Dead Ringers]]'' once did a sketch claiming that "on ITV, ''every night'' is David Jason Night" and that [[The BBC]] planned to retaliate by running nothing but repeats of ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]''. Similarly, he was given top billing in the first two Sky One adaptations of ''[[Discworld]]'' novels ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'' and ''[[The Colour of Magic (film)|The Colour of Magic]]'', despite the fact that his role in the first (at least) was quite minor (It also didn't help that the leading character was a 7 foot tall [[The Grim Reaper|skeleton with a scythe]].
 
He also did the voices for many [[Cosgrove Hall]] cartoon characters, including [[Danger Mouse]] and [[Count Duckula]].
