The director, Jonathan Lynn, who also did My Cousin Benny and The Whole Nine Yards, his first choice for Wadsworth was Leonard Rossiter, but he passed away before production.
GiffHOST
So then he wanted to go to Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean, but didn't feel like he had...
GiffHOST
The popularity of the time.
GiffHOST
So actually, Curry was the third choice to be Wadsworth.

Alexei SayleHOST
I mean, Dawn French had this theory that they had a special fund where they would take up and coming British comedians and then humiliate them because all our generation, even like Rowan Atkinson had gone out and played a butler in a fucking sitcom and stuff.
Alexei SayleHOST
And then Dawn and Lenny and Rick Mayall, we'd all gone out and abased ourselves and then been humiliated.
Alexei SayleHOST
But you...

Anthony LittlechildHOST
That an Austrian painter won a Charlie Chaplin lookalike competition.
