    It's a testament to the writing on Extras that one of the worst actors ever I found hilarious in Extras, the bit at 4.40 and 2.50 is probably the best acting he's done.

    my thoughts exactly however he could be referring to atkinson I think has a masters degree in engineering of some sort from a prestigious school. I forget which but when I found this out some time ago I was a bit surprised. Mr bean does display some knowledge of trig in one of the episodes.

    Rowan Atkinson is quite possibly the most dull and boring person I've ever had the misfortune of watching on TV. But as soon as he becomes Mr. Bean or does any other kind of comedy he's hilarious.

    How would any not expect Christopher Walken (the cock of the walk baby!) to be hilarious?


    Strange. As for me, it'd be Clint Eastwood. Gran Torino was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
