Rowan Sebastian Atkinson (born 1955) is an English comedian, actor and writer, famous for his work on the classic sitcoms ''[[Black AdderBlackadder]]'', ''[[The Thin Blue Line]]'' and ''[[Mr. Bean]]'', as well as doing the voice-over for Zazu in ''[[The Lion King]]'' and sketch comedy in ''[[Not the Nine O 'Clock News]]''. He is a master of the [[Deadpan Snarker]] and has a filmography that would make most other actors go green in envy with most of the things on it a major success. A perfectionist to the point of frustration, he is infamous for stopping partway through a take and apologising because he wants to try again.
 
Behind the scenes, he's a car enthusiast and minorly takes part in autoracing. In ''[[Top Gear]]'' he is currently the second fastest "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car"<ref>and has wrapped at least two ''seriously'' unreasonably priced cars around trees while about his lawful occasions on the Queen's thoroughfare, fortunately without serious harm to himself</ref>.
----
Said filmography includes:
* [[Black AdderBlackadder]]
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]: The Curse of Fatal Death! (A parody)
* [[Four Weddings and Aa Funeral]]
* [[Hot Shots]]! Part Deux
* [[Johnny English]]
Line 39:
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: In "First Day of Hell"
{{quote| '''Satan:''' You're all here for eternity, which I hardly need tell you is a heck of a long time.}}
* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: His [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiWJWLCoH2M&feature=related schoolmaster sketch] employs this trope heavily and to hilarious effect. Atkinson's pronunciation of the (increasingly ridiculous) names is reminiscent of his use of the name "Bob" in the various [[Black AdderBlackadder]] series.
** Turned [[Up to Eleven]] in the version of this sketch from Rowan Atkinson Live (it's called "No One Called Jones"), where the names are simply filthy. Can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOjbo74Hq-k&list=SL here].
{{quote| '''Schoolmaster:''' Anus. Arse-bandit. Bottom. Clitoris.}}
Line 50:
{{quote| '''Vicar:''' He then took out a saw and ''cleft her in twain''.}}
* [[Shoot the Messenger]]: In "Pink Tights and Plenty of Props"
* [[Take a Moment Toto Catch Your Death]]: In "Pink Tights and Plenty of Props"
