A few things that have to be added.  I forgot who posted the original,
but I'm assuming it was a Yank.  Anyway, here in the U.S., he's probably
most well known as being the "stuttering priest" in the film "Four
Weddings and a Funeral".  He's also the star of the wonderful TV series
"Blackadder" and the supposedly wonderful TV series "Mr. Bean"
(I say "supposedly" because although I've heard rave reviews about
it from people I trust, I've yet to actually see an episode).

Note:  Blackadder (at least a couple of seasons) also starred Miranda 
Richardson, who, of course, was also in the TLTC&TC.
