A MAN WHO SMILED AT SETBACKS

(ROWAN ATKINSON)

British Actor and  Comedian

 familiar to the world as,

MR.BEEN

   

Born in a middle-class family
 Father (Eric Atkinson) was a farmer.

                                       
 He was Rejected by many TV shows because of his speaking disorder and stammering problem.

• WHY IS IT MR.BEEN?

Originally, he was going to be called Mr. White. Then the show’s 

creators began throwing around some vegetable names and considered 

Mr.Cauliflower before deciding on Mr. Bean. 

                                       

• ITS JUST A 5 YEAR SERIES

Only 14 episodes of the live-action series

of Mr.Been were ever produced (1990-1995),

Also 2 movies, an animated series, a video game, and some books.

• MR.BEEN ISN'T HIS FIRST SUCCESS 

At the beginning of his career, he appeared in many films and shows but this BBC comedy show brought him the first Fame.

'Not the Nine O’Clock News' 

                        

• HOW DID HE OVERCOME THE STAMMERING PROBLEM

In his words, he said,

“It comes and goes. I find when I play a character other than myself, the stammering disappears. That may have been some of the inspiration for pursuing the career I did.”

another degree in electrical engineering from Newcastle University.
