Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean character has become beloved around the world since debuting on the small screen in 1990 with the "Mr. Bean" series on the ITV channel.
Rowan Sebastian Atkinson CBE (born 6 January ) is an English actor, comedian and writer.
While the sporadic nature of the show's production meant that it ran for just 14 episodes (plus a clip-show special) over the course of five years, there was still enough goodwill to have the character make a leap to the big screen in 1997 with "Bean," then have Atkinson revisit him a decade later for 2007's "Mr.
Bean's Holiday."
In between these two feature film outings, Mr. Bean was turned into a cartoon ("Mr. Bean: The Animated Series," which ran for over 100 episodes) and popped up in all manner of additional media over the years.
Today, he remains a relevant cultural touchstone.
The slapstick comedy stylings of Mr. Bean, in all of his incarnations, have proven enjoyable for children and adults alike.
